rotorbrake Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 Hi there! I have been looking at the books for studying the INRAT exam. The ones i have found seem mostly geared towards the fixed wing side. What I would like to know is do I have to really know things like high level airspace, pressure setting regions... things that a helicopter would never be a part of. As well are there any good resources for practice inrat-H exams? I have the sharpers edge book but it's mostly geared towards fixed wing. Thanks 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hybrid Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 First off you need to know the standard pressure setting regions, you enter them in the arctic. A good reference for any IFR regs are in the CAPGEN, a lot is only applicable to helicopters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rotorbrake Posted October 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 Thanks for that... I do have an old cap gen to refer to. Lots of info for sure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Croucher Posted October 2, 2013 Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 You could try Pro IFR's stuff. I'm told there's only a difference of two questions anyway. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afzrotor Posted October 2, 2013 Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 I did my IFR, ATPL(H) and night at Heli-College Canada in Langley, they are very good! They also used Pro-IFR's book which i found to be very good as a refresher. I still use my copy 4 years later along with the Capgen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winnie Posted October 8, 2013 Report Share Posted October 8, 2013 Rotorbrake, you can go to navcanada.ca and download a pdf version of a current CAP GEN. The Aerocourse is good. Cheers H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rotorbrake Posted October 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 Great! Thanks for all the info! I've heard good things about the pro IFR course and aerocourse I just don't know if I can make the time... for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cirrus Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 Get a new CAP GEN. There has been quite a few changes over the last couple of years and a lot more recently. Pay attention to every section that has the word helicopter in it. It IS a helicopter exam so anything to do with alternate min's or approach bans will be helicopter specific. ie: no sliding rule. Lots of GPS questions in there. Mine had about 7. Get a current AIM. Sit the aerocourse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rotorbrake Posted October 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 Thanks Cirrus! I've downloaded the latest CAP GEN and ordered the aerocourse book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
