ASA: Prepware - Inspection Authorization

Use Prepware 2012—Inspection Authorization for the IA - Inspection Authorization Knowledge Exam.

All Inspection Authorization candidates must take and pass the FAA’s IA Knowledge Exam. This IA Prepware provides all the information needed to pass the IA Knowledge test, and helps candidates become familiar with the privileges and limitations of this highest level of maintenance certification. Includes an overview of the Inspection Authorization certificate, insights into the function of an IA (the inspections, authorizations, and paperwork that accompany the privileges), and excerpts of the FAA documents IAs rely on in their work.

Inspection Authorization Prepware has the same great features found in all Prepware titles. Numerous study, preparation, practice and evaluation tools are available to help applicants obtain a confident edge before taking the FAA Knowledge Exam. Prepware brings the accuracy and reliability of ASA's industry-leading Test Prep books to your PC or Macintosh computer.

The software includes more than 400 example FAA questions and answer choices, supported with comprehensive explanations. The same reference material applicants will have access to during the actual test is included as a PDF (the "CT-8080-8D"). This way applicants can become familiar with these documents and learn how to glean the information they need to answer the questions, from such FAA publications as the Airworthiness Directives, Advisory Circulars, Type Certificate Data Sheets, FAA Order 8130.21D, and FAA Form 8130-3.
