INRAT Exam Questions and Answers 2025.
1. Alternate minimums:
PA
NPA: 600' Ceig 2SM
800' Ceig 2SM
2. OBS of your VOR is set to 150* and needle is centred. The To/From meter
is unserviceable. How can you resolve the ambiguity?: Rotate the OBS 10* to
160*
Needle moves left, AC is on the TO side
Needle moves right AC is on the FROM side of the station
3. Isolated CB's are?: Individual Cells
4. ASI reads high during a climb a pitch increase results in a further increase
in the ASI reading - Why?: Pitot tube and drain hole must both be iced over.
5. Acceleration of the AC during a missed approach could cause a pilot to do
what?: Lower the nose of the AC which will degrade the required climb (Sensory
illusion of pitching up due to acceleration)
6. Exam gives you an approach plate depicts an NDB approach but it also
provides a step-down fix based on a DME (if you did not have DME, then
this lower altitude would not apply).: Question asks for what NAV equipment is
