8 weeks · About 7 hours per week
Aviation Regulatory Framework and ANAC Requirements
Map the structure of the Brazilian civil aviation regulatory framework by writing an outline of the primary law, the ANAC founding statute, and the Brazilian Civil Aviation Regulation (RBAC) numbering system, noting which RBAC series covers each exam domain.
Distinguish the roles of ANAC, the Ministry of Ports and Airports, the Aeronautical Accidents Investigation and Prevention Center (CENIPA), and the Air Force Command by building a one-page authority matrix that lists each body's rulemaking, oversight, and investigation responsibilities.
Explain how international Civil Aviation Organization standards enter Brazilian domestic requirements, and identify at least three RBACs that directly implement Annex obligations.
Compile a personal glossary of 25 Portuguese regulatory terms with English equivalents, because exam items use Portuguese terminology even when translated.
Your checkpoint
A 3-page regulatory map plus a 25-term bilingual glossary, self-quizzed to 90% recall.
Aviation Regulatory Framework and ANAC Requirements & Enforcement, Inspection, and Administrative Process
Trace the lifecycle of an RBAC from public consultation through publication and entry into force, and list the steps in order from memory.
Differentiate the administrative instruments ANAC can issue (RBAC, IS, portaria, resolution) and state when each is used.
Outline the enforcement pathway from inspection finding to sanction, identifying where the operator has a right to defend itself.
Solve 20 practice items drawn only from domains 1 and 8 and log every error by cause.
Your checkpoint
A one-page enforcement flow diagram plus an error log of 20 answered items with root-cause notes.
Airworthiness and Continuing Airworthiness
Define airworthiness, continuing airworthiness, and the type certificate process, and describe how an aircraft stays legally airworthy between checks.
List the components of a maintenance program and explain how approved maintenance organizations, air operators, and licensed mechanics divide responsibility.
Distinguish airworthiness directives from service bulletins, and state who is obligated to comply with each.
Interpret the meaning of a certificate of airworthiness and the conditions that invalidate it.
Your checkpoint
A two-page continuing-airworthiness summary with a worked example of an airworthiness directive affecting a hypothetical fleet.
Flight Operations and Operational Control
Break down operational control into its legal elements and identify who holds final authority for a flight.
Explain the operational flight plan, dispatch release, and fuel policy requirements and how they interlock.
Describe crew duty, flight time, and rest limitations and apply them to two short scenario calculations.
Identify the operator's obligations for manuals, minimum equipment lists, and operational approvals.
Your checkpoint
A timed 40-item mixed set covering domains 2 and 3, scored and reviewed with corrections written out.
Licensing, Training, and Competency & Flight Operations and Operational Control
Map each licence and rating type to its eligibility, experience, and currency requirements.
Explain the training program cycle, including initial, recurrent, and upgrade training, and how competency is assessed.
Describe how a training organization is approved and what records it must keep.
Connect operational control requirements to crew qualification so you can answer cross-domain items.
Your checkpoint
A licence-and-training comparison table covering at least six licence or rating categories with their currency rules.
Safety Management Systems and Occurrence Reporting
Explain the four pillars of a safety management system and give a concrete operator example of each.
Distinguish mandatory occurrence reporting from voluntary reporting, and state what must be reported, to whom, and within what timeframe.
Describe how safety data flows from reporting into risk assessment and corrective action.
Outline protections for reporters and the boundaries of just culture.
Your checkpoint
A one-page occurrence-reporting decision tree plus a 15-item self-test on domain 5, scored to at least 80%.
Dangerous Goods and Cargo Security & Facilitation, Passengers, and Border Procedures
Classify dangerous goods by hazard class and identify the shipper, operator, and crew responsibilities at each handover point.
Explain acceptance checks, documentation, marking, and labelling requirements for a consignment.
Describe how cargo security screening and known-consignor arrangements work alongside dangerous goods controls.
Outline passenger facilitation and border procedures, including documentation checks and carrier obligations for inadmissible passengers.
Your checkpoint
A dangerous goods acceptance checklist and a one-page facilitation summary, each validated against the source regulation.
Enforcement, Inspection, and Administrative Process & Aviation Regulatory Framework and ANAC Requirements & Safety Management Systems and Occurrence Reporting
Rehearse the full exam by completing two timed 60-item mixed sets under exam conditions.
Review every missed item and convert each error into a one-line rule you can recall.
Revisit the weakest two domains identified by your error log and re-read only those sections.
Consolidate all deliverables into a single revision pack for the final 48 hours before the exam.
Your checkpoint
Two scored full-length practice exams with a consolidated one-page 'rules I kept missing' sheet.
Milestones
Week 2: Score at least 75% on a 25-item set limited to domains 1 and 8, and explain the enforcement pathway aloud without notes.
Week 4: Score at least 75% on the 40-item domains 2 and 3 set, with no repeated error type from the week 2 log.
Week 6: Score at least 80% on domain 5 self-test and correctly classify ten occurrence scenarios as reportable or not.
Week 8: Score at least 80% on both full-length practice exams, with every domain at or above 70%.
