Abstract:FAA-G-8082-11B, Inspection Authorization Knowledge Test Guide, provides information for preparing to take the following knowledge test. This document supersedes FAA-G-8082-11A, dated 2004.
TEST NAME: Inspection Authorization TEST CODE: IAR
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) initiated the issuance of the inspection authorization (IA) more than 35 years ago. This system of allowing qualified mechanics the privilege of performing certain inspections has served well in the maintenance of the U.S. civil fleet. The attainment of an IA and performance of the duties thereof greatly enhance the privileges and responsibilities of the aircraft mechanic. The IA permits the airframe and powerplant (A&P) mechanic to perform a greater variety of maintenance and alterations than any other single maintenance entity.
The determination of airworthiness during an inspection is a serious responsibility. For many general aviation aircraft, the annual inspection could be the only in-depth inspection it receives throughout the year. In view of the wide ranging authority conveyed with the authorization, the test examines a broader field of knowledge than required for the A&P certificate and reflects the emphasis placed on perpetuating air safety.
This guide is not offered as an easy way to obtain the necessary information for passing the inspection authorization knowledge test. Rather, the intent of this guide is to define and narrow the field of study to the required knowledge areas included in the test. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) airman knowledge tests are effective instruments for aviation safety and regulation measurement. However, these tests can only sample the vast amount of knowledge every aviation maintenance technician needs.
