QuestionAnswer
) What is it often called when a pilot pushes his or her capabilities and the aircraft's limits by trying to maintain visual contact with the terrain in low visibility and ceiling? Scud running.
) (Refer to figure 30, illustration 1.) Determine the magnetic bearing TO the station. 210°.
(Refer to figure 53.) Which type radar service is provided to VFR aircraft at Lincoln Municipal? Sequencing to the primary Class C airport, traffic advisories, conflict resolution, and safety alerts.
What values are used for Winds Aloft Forecasts? True direction and knots.
Which incident would necessitate an immediate notification to the nearest NTSB field office? An in-flight fire.
Possible mountain wave turbulence could be anticipated when winds of 40 knots or greater blow across a mountain ridge, and the air is stable
From which primary source should information be obtained regarding expected weather at the estimated time of arrival if your destination has no Terminal Forecast? Area Forecast.
(Refer to figure 24.) What is the estimated time en route for a flight from Claxton-Evans County Airport (area 2) to Hampton Varnville Airport (area 1)? The wind is from 290° at 18 knots and the true airspeed is 85 knots. Add 2 minutes for climb-out. 39 minutes
If the temperature/dewpoint spread is small and decreasing, and the temperature is 62 °F, what type weather is most likely to develop? Fog or low clouds.
(Refer to figure 15.) The only cloud type forecast in TAF reports is Cumulonimbus.
To obtain a continuous transcribed weather briefing, including winds aloft and route forecasts for a cross-country flight, a pilot should monitor a Transcribed Weather Broadcast (TWEB) on an NDB or a VOR facility.
What is meant by the term 'dewpoint'? The temperature to which air must be cooled to become saturated.
What force makes an airplane turn? The horizontal component of lift.
(Refer to figure 22.) The terrain elevation of the light tan area between Minot (area 1) and Audubon Lake (area 2) varies from 2,000 feet to 2,500 feet MSL.
One in-flight condition necessary for structural icing to form is visible moisture
) What would decrease the stability of an air mass? Warming from below.
What feature is associated with a temperature inversion? A stable layer of air.
(Refer to figure 4.) Which color identifies the power-off stalling speed in a specified configuration? Upper limit of the green arc
How should contact be established with an En Route Flight Advisory Service (EFAS) station, and what service would be expected? Call Flight Watch on 122.0 for information regarding actual weather and thunderstorm activity along proposed route.
(Refer to figure 53.) Which type radar service is provided to VFR aircraft at Lincoln Municipal? Sequencing to the primary Class C airport, traffic advisories, conflict resolution, and safety alerts.
(Refer to figure 21 area 4.) What hazards to aircraft may exist in restricted areas such as R-5302B? Unusual, often invisible, hazards such as aerial gunnery or guided missiles.
What information is contained in a CONVECTIVE SIGMET? Tornadoes, embedded thunderstorms, and hail 3/4 inch or greater in diameter.
What should pilots state initially when telephoning a weather briefing facility for preflight weather information? The intended route of flight and destination.
(Refer to figure 16.) What sky condition and type obstructions to vision are forecast for upper Michigan in the western portions from 0200Z until 0500Z? Ceiling becoming 1,000 feet overcast with visibility 3 to 5 statute miles in mist.
The section of the Area Forecast entitled 'VFR CLDS/ WX' contains a general description of clouds and weather which cover an area greater than 3,000 square miles and is significant to VFR flight operations.
When telephoning a weather briefing facility for preflight weather information, pilots should state whether they intend to fly VFR only.
To update a previous weather briefing, a pilot should request an abbreviated briefing
Which in-flight advisory would contain information on severe icing not associated with thunderstorms? SIGMET.
A weather briefing that is provided when the information requested is 6 or more hours in advance of the proposed departure time is an outlook briefing.
What is indicated when a current CONVECTIVE SIGMET forecasts thunderstorms? Thunderstorms obscured by massive cloud layers.
Which type weather briefing should a pilot request, when departing within the hour, if no preliminary weather information has been received? Standard briefing.
To best determine general forecast weather conditions over several states, the pilot should refer to Aviation Area Forecasts
To obtain a continuous transcribed weather briefing, including winds aloft and route forecasts for a cross-country flight, a pilot should monitor a Transcribed Weather Broadcast (TWEB) on an NDB or a VOR facility.
Which type of weather briefing should a pilot request to supplement mass disseminated data? An abbreviated briefing
To get a complete weather briefing for the planned flight, the pilot should request a standard briefing.
(Refer to figure 20.) How are Significant Weather Prognostic Charts best used by a pilot? For determining areas to avoid (freezing levels and turbulence).
Absence of the sky condition and visibility on an ATIS broadcast indicates that the ceiling is at least 5,000 feet and visibility is 5 miles or more.
When the term 'light and variable' is used in reference to a Winds Aloft Forecast, the coded group and windspeed is 9900 and less than 5 knots.
From which primary source should information be obtained regarding expected weather at the estimated time of arrival if your destination has no Terminal Forecast? Area Forecast.
