Welcome to IVAO's automated examining system.

The exams for Controllers or Pilots have been structured based upon a progressive ranking system that is based upon examinations and hours.

Procedure (advanced details at Exam policy )

Exams for ATC and pilots will be done in a similar way.

First, you'll have to pass a (theoretical only) test on the use of IvAc for ATC or IvAp for pilots.

These exams are mandatory to get 'Advanced ATC Trainee/Advanced Flight Student' ratings, respectively.

You can take this test, after being registered with IVAO for at least 2 weeks.

Theoretical Exams

Upon request, an exam will be created for you, the questions will be selected at random from a predefined list.

The language to be used for questions and answers is English only !

A theoretical exam consists of 20 questions, selected at random.
You have a maximum of 45 minutes to fill in the examination paper, and should you exceed this limit, the exam will be recorded as failed automatically -- so ensure you submit your answers in time.

Validator's and evaluator's can wait up to 7 day's with the evaluation / validation. Normaly in less then 48hrs validation is done.

There are five marks for each question. The marks will be awarded relative to what extent you answered the question -- give enough detail (where appropriate) for five marks. The pass-mark for an exam is 75/100.

Practical Exams

After succeeding in a theoretical test, you can request for a practical exam.

Please only request the practical exam if you are ready for it, and have time to do it in the next 15 days.
