ExploreAbout this exam
The BR-ANAC-ITRP designation refers to a Brazilian civil aviation personnel examination administered in the ANAC regulatory context, aimed at professionals who need to demonstrate working knowledge of how air transport is regulated, operated, and overseen in Brazil. Candidates typically include operations, airworthiness, safety, and compliance staff, as well as aviation students preparing for roles that interact directly with regulatory requirements. The exam is organized around eight broad domains: the regulatory framework and ANAC requirements; airworthiness and continuing airworthiness; flight operations and operational control; licensing, training, and competency; safety management systems and occurrence reporting; dangerous goods and cargo security; facilitation, passengers, and border procedures; and enforcement, inspection, and administrative process. Expect multiple-choice items that test applied judgment rather than isolated definitions: a scenario will describe an operator, a defect, a shipment, or an inspection finding, and you must choose the response that best fits the applicable rule. Preparation should combine careful reading of current ANAC regulations and related international standards with practice in tracing requirements to concrete situations. Build a study plan around the domain weights, keep a personal summary sheet of thresholds, deadlines, and notification duties, and revisit weak areas weekly. Because rules change, always confirm current requirements on the official ANAC website rather than relying on older study material.

What you'll study
About BR-ANAC-ITRP preparation
What is the exam format?
The profile describes a multiple-choice format, but the number of items, section structure, and any time limit are set by the administering body. Check the official ANAC website for the current examination notice before you plan your sitting, since these details can change between editions.
How difficult is it?
Difficulty comes from breadth rather than trick questions. Eight domains mean no single specialty carries you. Candidates with operational experience usually find scenario items manageable but struggle with exact notification deadlines, documentation requirements, and administrative procedure details, which reward deliberate memorization and regular review.
How long should I study?
Most candidates need several weeks of consistent effort. A practical approach is to allocate study time roughly in proportion to domain weights, front-loading the larger domains, then run timed practice sets across all eight areas. Track accuracy per domain so revision targets your weakest topics rather than what feels comfortable.
What is the passing score, and how much does it cost?
Those figures are published by the official body and vary by edition, so this page does not state them. Consult the current ANAC examination announcement for the passing standard, fees, and payment deadlines. Rely only on the official notice, not on forum posts or older summaries that may describe a previous edition.
Can I retake it if I fail?
Retake rules, waiting periods, and any limits on attempts are defined by the administering body. Check the official ANAC site for the current policy. Practically, treat a failed attempt as diagnostic: identify which domains pulled your score down, rebuild those areas, and avoid re-sitting before your practice scores are consistently strong.
What order should I study the domains in?
Start with the regulatory framework, since later domains assume it, then pair airworthiness with flight operations and licensing with training. Add safety management and occurrence reporting next, then dangerous goods, facilitation, and enforcement. Finish with a mixed review so you practice switching between topics under time pressure.
Why do candidates fail?
Common causes are studying from outdated material, memorizing definitions without applying them to scenarios, ignoring lower-weight domains entirely, and misreading questions that ask for the most appropriate action rather than the technically correct fact. Another frequent problem is confusing notification duties and time limits across different reporting systems.
Are calculators or reference materials allowed?
Permitted aids are specified in the official examination instructions, so confirm them with the administering body rather than assuming. In general, prepare as if nothing is allowed: memorize key thresholds, deadlines, and document retention periods so that an unexpected restriction does not undermine your performance.
How should I use practice questions?
Answer without notes first, then write down why each wrong option is wrong. That habit exposes gaps in reasoning rather than recall. Keep an error log grouped by domain, and revisit it weekly. If a practice item conflicts with the current regulation, trust the regulation and discard the item.
