BR-ANAC-IOAR study plan

Map the structure of RBAC 21 and RBAC 43 by listing each subpart title and the approval or maintenance activity it governs

Define at least 20 core regulatory terms (e.g., airworthiness directive, type certificate, major alteration, return to service) in your own words with a cited RBAC paragraph for each

Trace the lifecycle of a hypothetical aircraft modification from application through approval and record the RBAC citations at each step

Build a one-page decision tree distinguishing major versus minor alterations and repairs using RBAC criteria

Compare the certification basis concepts (type certificate, supplemental type certificate, parts approval) and tabulate what each authorizes and who holds it

Outline the sequence of steps in an airworthiness certification process, from design approval to issuance of the airworthiness certificate

Identify the documentation an inspector would request to verify a valid airworthiness certificate for a given aircraft

Summarize how continued airworthiness obligations flow from certification to the operator and maintenance organization

Distinguish the roles of design approval holder, operator, and maintenance organization in continuing airworthiness management

Draft the required contents of a maintenance program and explain how tasks are derived from design and reliability data

Explain how airworthiness directives and service information are incorporated into a maintenance program and tracked to closure

Construct a sample maintenance program excerpt covering scheduled tasks, intervals, and approval references

Design a records and traceability checklist that verifies maintenance release, component history, and life-limited part status

Apply audit sampling logic by selecting a defensible sample from a hypothetical fleet maintenance records set and justifying the sample size

Write five evidence-based audit questions that test compliance rather than merely asking whether a procedure exists

Classify findings by severity and write one finding statement in a clear condition-criteria-cause format

Compare the certification requirements for an air operator versus a maintenance organization and list the shared versus unique elements

Draft an inspection plan for a maintenance organization covering facility, personnel, tooling, and record-keeping areas

Practice opening and closing an audit interview by writing a script for each

Evaluate a hypothetical corrective action plan and identify weaknesses in root cause analysis or verification of effectiveness

Describe the four components of a safety management system and give one concrete maintenance-related example of each

Explain the difference between reactive, proactive, and predictive safety data collection and identify which occurrence types feed each

Draft an occurrence report for a hypothetical maintenance error that includes factual description, risk assessment, and immediate containment

Outline how an organization should investigate an occurrence and verify that corrective actions prevent recurrence

Identify at least eight human factors that contribute to maintenance errors and match each to a realistic scenario

Analyze a hypothetical maintenance error using a recognized human factors framework and separate individual from systemic contributors

Propose three safety culture interventions that target reporting willingness, just culture, and feedback loops

Explain how inspection design (lighting, task complexity, shift patterns) influences error detection probability

Compare ICAO Annex standards on airworthiness and maintenance with the corresponding Brazilian requirements and note alignment or differences

Explain the purpose of international harmonization in certification and continuing airworthiness and its practical effect on operators

Complete a timed 60-question mixed review across all eight domains and score your performance by domain

Revisit the two weakest domains from the review and produce a corrected summary sheet for each
