ATP written question

[greedypilot]

If take the part 135 ATP written, will I be able to avoid questions (IFR flight planning and W&B) based upon the DC9, 727, and 737?

If I remember correctly, if you take the Part 135 AP written, all performance and W&B questions are based on the Beech 1900.

I believe that is no longer true, that you may have performance and weight and balance problems from any of the aircraft on either of the atp versions

Well it's been a while since I took the ATP written, so it may have changed. Probably the best thing to do would be to get a hold of a Gliem book and read the instructions. Wait, real men don't read the instructions or ask for directions.

Just took the ATP written last week. I took the part 135 version, and all questions on performance and W&B were on the BE-1900. You either get BE-1900 with the 135, or DC9, 727 and 737 with the part 121 test.

What I can tell you for sure is that there are no BE1900 questions in the 121 version, I just took it yesterday. Yes, I passed.

Same here. Took it about 4 months ago.

Untrue.

I took the 121 and got 135 IFR trip questions and W & B.

Get the Gleim book and study ALL the questions except for the regulations you won't be taking. IF you're doing the 135, study EVERYTHING except for the 121 regs.

Funny thing is, I studied all of the 121 trips and AC and just thought to be safe so I studied the 135 planes and GUESS WHAT, that was all I got. Anyway, I used the Gleim book and CD - ended up getting a 99%.

But trust me. You need to study BOTH aircaft and trips. Just skip over the regs.

Is there a reason to take the 121 rather than the 135... I mean...the test score report does not say ATP written 121 on it does it? Obviously if you are planning on just flying 135 you may want to stick to just 135 but are there other reasons to take one over the other?

Yeah, if you're currently flying 121 and you've never flown 135 (or it's been a while) you'll be up on the 121 regs, and taking the 121 version will keep you from having to study a set of regs that aren't particularly relevant to your existence.

As for the aircraft types and such ..... you may get questions on any aircraft. sure a couple of posters didn't get anything but 1900 questions on thier tests,. buth that was thier test, not yours. Yours will be a completely different selection of questions. THis topic comes up frequently on this forum, and each time, thare are a couple of posters who report getting 121 aircaft questions on a 135 test, or vice versa, so saying it won't happen is not accurate.

The written test report does have the test taken printed on it. At least mine does from CATS. It says ATP FAR 135. Once you take the flight portion, you will have an ATP without mention of which written was taken.

Hey Rakefight, are you absolutely sure that you took the part 121? They didn't screw up and give you the 135 instead? It seems really strange that you took the 121, and all you got was BE1900?? Also, I went back to my 2006 Gleim book and it specifically says that if you take the 135, you will not get questions on 121 regs. or aircraft. As I said in a previous post, I took the 135 last Monday. There were no 121 reg. or aircraft performance questions.

I was definitely administered the 121 version. Believe me, it bugged me out to get 135 stuff. My W&B was for the B1900 and the trips were for the 135 going into LGA. But I do think the Gleim book states that there may be 135 stuff on the 121 and vice versa.

My advice is to be careful. I did it at a Lasergrade site. If you go to ATP for it, I think they may have some kind of "special" weeding out process that makes the test a lot easier to study and pass.

I took the 135 version last week (the 135 regs were easier for me to memorize, and I'm hoping never to fly part 121 (or 135 for that matter)). I guessed on all the IFR planning questions and W&B questions and still passed with ease. Just know all the other stuff and you'll be fine.

Sheppardair.com worked wonders for my ATP prep...

I just took the part 121 ATP, and got questions on B727, DC9 AND the BE1900.
I think Gliem (or I read it elsewhere) even states that you _may_ get some of the questions from either side of the fence.

You might also choose to study and take the 121 questions as opposed to the 135 questions if you are thinking of going for an airline interview and aren't currently part 121. I've heard that some of the regionals give you questions from the 121 regs section of the ATP.

The ATP written is the written... If you take the 135 written, it is the 121 with 135 questions thrown in, just like the dispatcher written, which is the ATP with dispatch spefic questions thrown in. And yes, BTW i got both b1900 and 727 questions on the W&B portion.
