The main study guide for studying the SAMRA and SARON exams is the TP 690E/F. This guide is located here.
Below are the topics which are fairly common to see on the SARON. For the ease of reading and making a point, we have taken the format of Transport Canada’s written examination results forms.
-‐ Calculate the CG
-‐ Compute the critical point
-‐ Define a large aircraft
-‐ Demonstrate requirement for two way communications
-‐ Demonstrate the use of the simplified planning chart
-‐ Describe when reverted rubber hydroplaning can occur
-‐ Explain the relationship between cigarette smoking and hypoxia
-‐ Identify anti-‐skid operating properties
-‐ Identify carbon monoxide facts
-‐ Identify the components of a turbine engine
-‐ Identify various deicing fluids and their properties
-‐ Interpret VASIS indications
-‐ Predict the effects of airframe icing
-‐ Recall ATC procedures regarding a communications failure within protected airspace
-‐ Recall correct transponder codes
-‐ Recall crew rest requirements
-‐ Recall jet engine reverse operating principals
-‐ Recall IFR reporting procedures for approaches and landings at an uncontrolled aerodrome
-‐ Recall the regulations on take-‐offs and landings in a built up area
-‐ Recall the rules that apply to a Class C control zone
-‐ Recall the use of a phone in flight
-‐ Recall thunderstorm avoidance flight procedures.
-‐ Calculate maximum takeoff gross weight.
-‐ Calculate the buffet boundary limits.
-‐ Explain the factors affecting hydroplaning.
-‐ Identify pressurization system components.
-‐ Recall ETOPS Operations
-‐ Recall holding speeds
-‐ Recall minimum fuel procedures
-‐ Recall windshear recovery techniques
