Mozambique IACM Commercial Pilot (CPL-A) exam-day guide
Mozambique IACM Commercial Pilot (CPL-A) · Prepare for the day ahead.
Your checklist
Valid photo identification
Bring the original government-issued photo ID (passport or national ID) you used at registration. Name must match the registration exactly. Confirm with the provider which ID types are accepted for IACM exams.
Admission/exam authorization document
Printed or digital confirmation of your exam booking or candidate authorization, if the provider issues one. Confirm with the provider whether this is required at the door.
Pilot logbook and licence documentation
Carry your logbook and any current licence/medical documents in case the examiner or invigilator requests verification. Confirm with the provider which documents must be presented on exam day.
Approved calculator
Bring a non-programmable calculator with fresh batteries. Confirm with the provider whether calculators are permitted and what models are allowed.
Writing materials
Pens, pencils, eraser, and a ruler. Some centres supply these; confirm locally.
Navigation tools (if applicable)
For navigation/flight-planning papers, a protractor, plotter, and a current chart may be needed. Confirm with the provider which aids are permitted for each paper.
Watch or timer
A simple wristwatch helps you pace yourself if the room clock is not visible. Confirm whether smartwatches are prohibited.
Review the official syllabus and AIP/regulatory references
Re-read the published subject syllabus and the current Mozambique AIP/regulatory material so you know which references are assumed. Do not rely on unofficial summaries.
Confirm exam venue, date, and reporting time
Verify the address, room, and arrival time directly with the approved training organisation or IACM-designated centre. Policies vary; confirm with the provider.
Plan transport and arrive early
Arrive with margin for traffic and security checks. Late arrival policies are set by the provider; confirm them in advance.
Rest and hydration plan
Sleep well the night before and bring water if permitted. Confirm with the provider whether drinks are allowed at the desk.
Personal medication/accessibility arrangements
If you need medication or special arrangements, notify the provider well before exam day and confirm what is permitted in the room.
Plan the day
Re-confirm exam date, time, venue, and reporting instructions with the provider. Re-read the syllabus and note weak topics; do focused revision rather than new material.
Check your ID and any required documents are valid and match your registration. Resolve discrepancies now, not on exam day.
Prepare and pack your kit: ID, authorization, calculator, pens, plotter/charts if needed. Test the calculator.
Do a light review of formulas, regulations, and key procedures. Stop studying early enough to sleep well.
Confirm transport and set alarms. Check the weather/traffic outlook for the route to the venue.
Eat a normal meal, arrive early, and re-check you have your ID and kit. Leave phones and smart devices stowed as instructed.
Read instructions and time limits first. Answer confident questions first, flag uncertain ones, and watch the clock. Use only permitted aids.
If you need to leave the room, raise your hand and follow invigilator instructions. Confirm break rules with the provider in advance.
Follow the provider's instructions on returning materials and on when and how results will be issued.
Rules to check
Bring the original photo ID used at registration; the name must match. Confirm with the provider which ID types are accepted.
Follow all invigilator instructions. Do not communicate with other candidates during the exam.
Phones, smartwatches, and unauthorised electronic devices must be switched off and stowed as directed. Confirm with the provider what is prohibited.
Use only calculators and reference materials explicitly permitted for that paper. Confirm the permitted-aids list with the provider.
No notes, books, or unauthorised material at the desk unless the provider has approved them for that paper.
Break and restroom rules are set by the provider; ask before the exam starts what the procedure is.
Scoring, pass marks, and result timelines are set by IACM/the provider; confirm the current pass criteria and result-release process with them rather than relying on hearsay.
If you believe there is an error in the paper or a disturbance in the room, raise it with the invigilator immediately and follow their process.
