Sample NAV Brasil ATCO (PTNA) Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to test your NAV Brasil ATCO (PTNA) exam readiness. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1In the sentence 'A NAV Brasil presta serviços de navegação aérea em todo o território nacional', the verb 'prestar' is used in the present indicative. What does this verb tense primarily express in this context?

A.A permanent, currently valid institutional activity of the company

B.A completed event that occurred in a single moment in the past

C.A hypothetical action dependent on a future condition

D.An action that will begin only after a formal authorization

Explanation: The present indicative in Portuguese expresses a habitual or permanently true state of affairs. Used about a public company's mandate, it describes an ongoing, currently valid activity rather than a past event, a hypothesis, or a future obligation.

2Consider the Portuguese sentence: 'A controladora informou à tripulação que a pista estava livre.' The verb 'informou' (pretérito perfeito) indicates which temporal relationship between the controller's action and the report itself?

A.A past action concluded at a specific point in time

B.A habitual action repeated over an undefined past period

C.An ongoing action contemporaneous with the moment of speaking

D.An action projected to take place after the landing

Explanation: The pretérito perfeito do indicativo marks an action punctually completed in the past. The imperfect 'estava' in the subordinate clause simultaneously describes the state of the runway at that past moment, showing how FGV questions test tense interplay.

3In the sentence 'Os dados foram confirmados pela torre', the highlighted words form a passive voice construction. Which active-voice rewrite preserves the original meaning?

A.A torre confirmou os dados.

B.A torre confirma os dados.

C.Os dados confirmaram a torre.

D.A torre confirmará os dados.

Explanation: Converting the analytic passive 'foram confirmados pela torre' to the active voice requires keeping the agent ('a torre') as subject and preserving the pretérito perfeito ('confirmou'). Only 'A torre confirmou os dados' keeps both the agent and the tense.

4In the Portuguese period 'Embora o tempo estivesse fechado, o voo partiu no horário previsto', the conjunction 'embora' introduces which kind of relationship between the clauses?

A.Concession — the second clause states a fact that contrasts with the expectation created by the first

B.Cause — the first clause explains why the flight departed

C.Condition — the departure depends on the weather closing in

D.Consequence — the weather results from the departure

Explanation: 'Embora' is a concessive conjunction: it introduces a circumstance (bad weather) that would normally impede the main action, which nonetheless occurred. Note it requires the subjunctive/imperfect subjunctive ('estivesse'), a frequent FGV test point.

5In the phrase 'a aeronave à qual se refere o plano de voo', what justifies the graphic accent (crase) in 'à qual'?

A.The verb 'referir-se' requires the preposition 'a', and 'qual' is preceded by the contraction of that preposition with the article 'a' implied before the relative pronoun

B.The accent is optional and purely decorative in formal writing

C.The word 'qual' is a verb that always carries a circumflex

D.The accent marks a pause for emphasis in spoken announcements

Explanation: Crase results from the contraction of the preposition required by 'referir-se a' with the feminine definite article accompanying 'qual' (a + a = à). A practical test: 'refere-se à aeronave' confirms the preposition plus article.

6Which option correctly completes the Portuguese sentence with standard verbal agreement: '___ duas aeronaves aguardando autorização na cabeceira'?

A.Havia

B.Haviam

C.Haveram

D.Haverão

Explanation: The verb 'haver' meaning 'to exist' is impersonal and remains in the singular regardless of the following plural noun: 'Havia duas aeronaves'. 'Haviam' is a common colloquial error; 'haveram' is a nonstandard conjugation; 'haverão' is a future form that would not fit the past context.

7Read the fragment: 'A empresa investiu em novos radares. Seu objetivo é reduzir o congestionamento no terminal.' The pronoun 'Seu', beginning the second sentence, refers to:

A.'A empresa' — the possessive refers to the company

B.'radares' — the possessive belongs to the radars

C.'congestionamento' — the possessive anticipates the congestion

D.No referent: the sentence is grammatically incoherent

Explanation: The possessive 'seu' resumes the only singular noun capable of having an objective: 'a empresa'. Pronoun reference (retomada pronominal) is a classic FGV interpretation point, and masculine singular 'seu' cannot refer to plural 'radares'.

8In the sentence 'Os dados, segundo a torre, estavam corretos', what is the syntactic and punctuational role of the segment 'segundo a torre'?

A.An intercalated adjunct indicating the source of the information, obligatorily set off by paired commas

B.The direct object of the verb 'estavam'

C.A vocative addressing the tower directly

D.An appositive that renames the noun 'dados' and could omit the commas

Explanation: 'Segundo a torre' is an intercalated expression citing the information source (adjunto de conformidade/fonte). Standard punctuation requires paired commas because it interrupts the sentence body between subject and verb.

9Which of the following Portuguese sentences uses the pronoun placement (colocação pronominal) expected by the standard norm in writing?

A.Não se sabe quando o voo partirá.

B.Se sabe não quando o voo partirá.

C.Sabe-se não quando o voo partirá.

D.Não sabe-se quando o voo partirá amanhã mesmo assim tudo bem.

Explanation: Negative words like 'não' are factors of attraction (fator atrativo) that require proclisis: the pronoun precedes the verb ('não se sabe'). Written standard norm rejects the other arrangements; FGV frequently exploits enclisis/proclisis contrasts.

10Read the excerpt: 'O relatório era extenso: continha mapas, tabelas e recomendações.' What function does the colon perform in this sentence?

A.It introduces an explanation that specifies in what the report's extensiveness consisted

B.It marks a direct quotation from the report

C.It separates two unrelated sentences that could not be combined

D.It signals an ironic comment by the author

Explanation: Here the colon introduces an explanatory development: what follows details the report's contents, answering 'extensive in what sense?'. This explanatory use of the colon is a canonical FGV punctuation item.
