## What is SAMRA Prep?

Practise for the ATPL(A) SAMRA written exam with 80-question mocks on the real 3 h 30 min clock, computer flight plans and worked solutions. Covers Meteorology, Radio Aids to Navigation and Flight Planning. Free to try: 50 practice answers, one full mock exam and the whole Library. Full Access, a one-time purchase, unlocks the rest.

Built by a Canadian Class 3 Flight Instructor, SAMRA Prep pairs a 457-question original bank with the study mechanics that actually move your score, and keeps score against the 70% pass mark until you are comfortably past it:

EXAM-FAITHFUL MOCKS
• 80 questions sampled to the real exam's subject weighting
• The official 3 h 30 min time limit with a running countdown
• A computer flight plan appendix block, just like exam day
• Flag questions, jump anywhere from the question palette, no feedback until you submit — then scoring by section and full review
• Your first mock exam is free; more mock exams need Full Access

A FLIGHT PLAN GENERATOR, NOT ONE STALE PDF
Every session builds a brand-new computer flight plan — fuel ladder, waypoint table, trip wind, shear point, altitude trade-offs — and asks questions whose answers come from that document. Never memorized answers. Your 50 free answers can come from here; unlimited practice needs Full Access.

CALCULATIONS WITH WORKED SOLUTIONS
Critical point and PNR, engine-failure equal-time points, CAR 602.88 minimum fuel, ISA deviation, specific ground range, density altitude, VHF range — generated with fresh numbers and a full worked solution every time. Part of your 50 free answers, then Full Access.

SMART REVIEW THAT DOESN'T FORGET
Every answer is tracked. Missed questions return on a spaced schedule until they stick, and the dashboard estimates your readiness against the 70% line — by section and by topic, so you always know what to study next. Smart Review practice is part of your 50 free answers, then needs Full Access.

A LIBRARY OF MUST-KNOW NUMBERS
GFA issue times, icing temperature bands, CAT rules of thumb, SPECI criteria, navaid frequencies, transponder codes — the memorization core of the exam, condensed to one screen per topic. Always free to read.

FREE TO TRY, ONE PRICE FOR EVERYTHING
Try it free: 50 practice answers in any mode, one full 80-question mock exam, and the whole must-know numbers Library. Full Access is a single in-app purchase that unlocks unlimited practice, unlimited mock exams, every computer flight plan and every calculation drill. One-time, no subscription, and it covers your iPhone, iPad and Mac.

BUILT FOR STUDY, NOT FOR DATA
Every question includes a clear explanation and a source reference. Works offline, and your progress follows you from device to device through your own iCloud account. No account to create, no advertising, no analytics and no data collection of any kind: the developer never sees your progress.

SAMRA Prep is an independent study aid. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Transport Canada; the exam name is referenced only to identify the examination. Always verify figures against the current CARs, TC AIM, CAP and AIP Canada.


## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.3.0 — 2026-10-05

YOUR PROGRESS ON EVERY DEVICE
Answers, your review schedule and mock exam results now come together on every iPhone, iPad and Mac signed in to your iCloud account. Nothing to set up: the switch is in Library › Sync. It runs on your own iCloud, so there is still no account to create, and the developer cannot see your progress. Each device keeps its own copy, so studying offline works as before and catches up when you are back online. With sync on, "Reset all progress" clears every device.

FREE TO TRY, ONE PRICE FOR EVERYTHING
SAMRA Prep is now free to try, with 50 practice answers, a full 80-question mock exam and the whole Library. A single one-time purchase, Full Access, unlocks unlimited practice, mock exams and trainers, with no subscription, on iPhone, iPad and Mac. The free answers and the free mock are shared by your synced devices.
If you downloaded before this version, everything stays free for you.

### 1.2.0 — 2026-10-02

Readiness is now honest. One wrong answer on a topic you have never opened no longer raises your readiness, and unanswered questions in a mock exam no longer count as studied (a blank paper used to show about 26%). A paper one question short of the 70% line no longer reads as a pass because of rounding, and the result text shows the length of the paper you actually sat.

Flight Plan Trainer drills can no longer split the flight-plan block in a mock exam.

The Home page now centres properly on iPad and Mac.

### 1.1.1 — 2026-09-26

Pick, then confirm. In practice, tapping an answer now only selects it, so you can change your mind before committing. Press Confirm answer (or Return) to lock it in. With a keyboard, A–D and 1–4 select.

The whole question bank has been checked against the current TC AIM (2026-1), the CARs and the MANOBS. 166 questions were corrected or brought up to date, including the FIC en-route frequencies, North Atlantic entry now that oceanic clearances are no longer issued, the mid-level SIGWX chart limits, and several answers and options that needed sharpening. The options were rebalanced again, so neither the longest nor the shortest option gives the answer away.

The Flight Plan Trainer and Calculation Drills have been rebuilt. The FREM column now shows fuel on board, as in Transport Canada's sample computer flight plan. There are new questions on en-route fuel checks, time over a fix and minimum diversion fuel, with realistic routes, magnetic tracks and cruising levels. Every generated question type was checked across millions of samples for a single correct answer and fair options.

Also: the flight plan opens full-page on iPad, and there are small layout refinements in the exam.

### 1.1.0 — 2026-09-18

Now on Mac, as well as iPhone and iPad.

Question options have been rebalanced across the whole 457-question bank so the correct answer is no longer usually the longest one. Practice scores now reflect what you actually know rather than a guessing strategy the real exam will not reward.

Some questions now hand you a printed appendix the way the exam does — a full METAR/SPECI sheet, TAF or NOTAM to read from, rather than a fragment quoted in the question.

Also: the flight plan no longer clips on iPad or Mac, the appendix is available again when reviewing a finished mock exam, Focus Next lists the topics you are genuinely weakest at instead of ones you have never opened, and the iPad and Mac layouts use the full window.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-09-14

Fixed topic and readiness percentages, which were reading lower than your actual performance. Answering a question correctly the first time now counts in full, so the numbers reflect what you would score today. Each topic also shows how many of its questions you have practised.
