ExploreAbout this exam
This page covers the ANAC RBAC 61 knowledge content for the Piloto Privado (PP) and Piloto Comercial (PC) airplane licences in Brazil. The credential is aimed at candidates preparing for ANAC's theoretical knowledge examinations for private and commercial pilot licences, and at pilots who need to refresh regulation, aircraft and flight principles, aeronautical meteorology, and air navigation with air traffic rules. The study material is organised into four provisional domains of equal weight: RBAC 61 licence and rating requirements; technical knowledge of aircraft and principles of flight; aeronautical meteorology; and air navigation plus air traffic regulations. Each domain is treated as 25 percent of the practice set, so no single subject can be skipped without cost. Preparation should follow a simple cycle: read a short study section, answer the practice questions without notes, then review every miss against the underlying concept before moving on. Because the official ANAC page for RBAC 61 returned an error when retrieved, the exam format, question count, duration, passing score, fee, retake policy and validity period are not confirmed here and are marked for review. Candidates should treat the practice questions as concept training and verify all administrative details, and the current text of RBAC 61, directly with ANAC before booking an exam. No affiliation with ANAC is claimed or implied.
What you'll study
About BR-ANAC-R-IFRH preparation
What does the RBAC 61 exam cover?
The practice material is split into four equally weighted areas: RBAC 61 licence and rating requirements, technical knowledge of aircraft and principles of flight, aeronautical meteorology, and air navigation with air traffic regulations. Each area carries 25 percent, so treat all four as required rather than choosing favourites.
Is this the official ANAC exam page?
No. This is independent study material with no affiliation to ANAC. Rules, fees, schedules and exam administration must be confirmed directly with ANAC. The official RBAC 61 page returned an error when retrieved, so administrative details are unverified here.
How many questions are on the real exam and how long is it?
Those values are not confirmed on this page. The source retrieved returned an error, so question count, duration, passing score and fee are all marked for review rather than guessed. Check the current ANAC notices and the RBAC 61 text before you schedule anything.
How hard are the practice questions?
They target working knowledge rather than trivia: applying a regulation to a scenario, reading a weather situation, or reasoning through a navigation or flight-principles problem. Expect a mix of recall and application. If you can explain why each wrong option is wrong, you are at the right level.
What is the best study order?
Start with RBAC 61, because licence and rating rules frame everything else. Then take principles of flight and aircraft knowledge, followed by meteorology, which rewards steady daily reading. Finish with navigation and traffic rules, where regulation and calculation overlap. Cycle back through earlier domains weekly.
Why do candidates fail or score poorly?
The usual causes are memorising answers without understanding the concept, skipping meteorology because it feels descriptive, and ignoring the wording of regulatory questions where one word changes the answer. Another common failure is never practising under time pressure, so pacing collapses on the day.
Can I retake the practice set?
Yes, you can repeat the practice questions as often as you like. Treat each repeat as a diagnostic: note which domain produced the misses and study that section again before the next attempt. Repeating without reviewing the underlying concept simply trains memorisation of the options.
How should I use the explanations?
Read the explanation even when you answer correctly, and write down the rule or principle it relies on. Then cover the options and restate the reasoning aloud. If you cannot reconstruct the reasoning without the explanation, mark the topic for another pass in your next study session.
Are the domain weights official?
No. The four domains and their 25 percent weights are provisional, based on general knowledge and divided equally. They should be replaced once a valid version of the RBAC 61 source is available. Use them for planning study time, not as a statement of official exam structure.
