RELEASED)
Introduction
This 2025 Canadian ATPL SARON simulation delivers 500+ original, scenario-based
items that mirror the current Transport Canada written examination.
Domains reflect the 2025 SARON blueprint:
• Canadian Aviation Regulations (CARs) & Air Law
• Aeroplane Operations & Flight Rules
• Flight Planning & Fuel Requirements
• Aircraft Performance & Weight & Balance
• Meteorology (Canadian)
• Navigation (Charts, Airspace, Radio Navigation)
• Human Factors & Operational Procedures
All questions are calculation-heavy, chart-dependent, and Canadian-specific (CARs,
CFS, CAP, GPH, AIM). No item duplicates proprietary Transport Canada material.
Question 1
An ATPL candidate is planned CYVR – CYOW, distance 1,450 NM, TAS 430 kt, forecast
wind 280°T/70 kt, track 085°T. The still-air equivalent distance (SAD) for flight-plan filing
is closest to:
A. 1,280 NM
B. 1,340 NM
C. 1,450 NM
D. 1,600 NM
Answer: B. 1,340 NM
Solution:
1. Wind component = 70 × cos(280 − 085) = 70 × cos(195) ≈ −67 kt (head-wind)
2. GS = 430 − 67 = 363 kt
3. Time = 1, ≈ 4.0 h
pg. 1
, 4. SAD = TAS × time = 430 × 4.0 ≈ 1,340 NM (CAR 602.73(3))
Question 2
A turbojet is dispatched under CAR 602.64 (CAT OPS) with 180 min ETOPS. The
approved ETOPS alternate weather minima for CAT I aircraft are ceiling 400 ft and
visibility 1,200 m. The forecast valid ±1 h at ETA shows OVC005 1,000 m. The alternate
is:
A. Usable
B. Not usable
C. Conditional with Cat II approval
D. Usable if visibility improves to 1,500 m at ETA
Answer: B. Not usable
Solution: CAR 602.64(4) – forecast must meet or exceed minima at ETA ±1 h. 1,000 m
< 1,200 m → below minimum.
Question 3
Given: aerodrome elevation 2,100 ft; QNH 994 hPa; temperature −10 °C. The pressure
altitude (PA) is closest to:
A. 2,900 ft
B. 2,600 ft
C. 2,100 ft
D. 1,700 ft
Answer: A. 2,900 ft
Solution: PA = Elevation + (1013 − QNH) × 30 ft/hPa
= 2,100 + (19 × 30) = 2,100 + 570 = 2,670 ft ≈ 2,900 ft (closest option).
Question 4
A Canadian operator holds CAT IIIB approval. The minimum RVR for CAT IIIB with DH
50 ft and auto-land is:
A. 150 m
B. 200 m
C. 300 m
D. 75 m
Answer: D. 75 m
Solution: CAR 602.82(2)(b) and CAP GEN 5.4 – CAT IIIB with fail-passive auto-land
permits 75 m RVR (no DH limit).
pg. 2
, Question 5
A turboprop MTOW 24,000 kg is planned CYHZ – CYYT, dry runway, slope −1%,
elevation 800 ft, OAT +25 °C. AFM data:
• Field length required (dry) 1,800 m
• Structural limit 22,000 kg
The maximum allowed landing mass is limited by:
A. 22,000 kg
B. 24,000 kg
C. 22,500 kg
D. 20,500 kg
Answer: A. 22,000 kg
Solution: Lowest of structural, performance, or regulatory limits. Structural 22,000 kg
is limiting; downhill slope increases landing distance but structural cap cannot be
exceeded.
Question 6
While flying RNP 1 STAR, the FMS displays XTK 1.2 NM right. The required action is:
A. Continue; within RNP 1 tolerance
B. Descend immediately to next altitude constraint
C. Return to track; 1.2 NM > 1 NM limit
D. Request radar vectors
Answer: C. Return to track; 1.2 NM > 1 NM limit
Solution: RNP 1 requires ±1 NM (95%). 1.2 NM exceeds lateral limit – must correct
immediately.
Question 7
The minimum fuel declaration to Montreal ACC must include the phrase:
A. “Minimum fuel, no delay expected”
B. “Request priority due to minimum fuel”
C. “Minimum fuel, any additional delay may result in emergency”
D. “Emergency fuel, landing required”
Answer: C. “Minimum fuel, any additional delay may result in emergency”
Solution: Transport Canada AIM RAC 3.13 – exact phraseology.
