EGPC 250900Z AUTO 07003KT 8000 RA FEW004 SCT007 BKN009 05/04 Q1015
a cloud base between 400 and 900ft
a cloud ceiling of 400ft
moderate rain
8000ft vis in the vicinity of the runway and apron
8. under what conditions would it be safe to land
if there are no cbs in the area
if there is a cb in the area but there is no thunder or lightning
if windshear is reported or observed
if there is a cb in the area but no precipitation
9. what is the risk of flying in snow
snow is unlikely to reduce vis as much as rain, there is a significant risk to engine icing
snow is unlikely to form ice but forward vis is reduced, TAS will be significantly lower
snow can form ice on the leading edge of the wings and forward vis can be reduced
there an no effects
10. what does MIFG signify on a METAR
mist and fog
dust clouds
shallow fog
mild fog
11. when observing a warm front passing
the temperature will rise
the temperature will fall
the cloud base will rise
the pressure will rise
12. in regards to cold fronts
the front may well cover less distance than a warm front but will have a steeper gradient
the front may well cover less distance than a warm front and a sudden increase in temperature may be experienced
the front may well cover more distance than a warm front and will have a steeper gradient
the front may well cover more distance than a warm front cumulus formations are unlikely to occur ahead of the front
13. a pilot is climbing at 105 kts and encounters a reduction of headwind component
the rate of climb will reduce and the TAS will remain unaffected
the rate of climb will remain the same but the TAS will increase
the rate of climb will increase but the TAS will reduce
the rate of climb and the TAS will reduce
14. what is a METAR
a weather report and forecast covering a single aerodrome
a weather report covering multiple aerodromes
a weather report covering a single aerodrome
a weather forecast covering a single aerodrome
15. a METAR reports VV/// what does this mean
the RVR for the runway is less than 250m
the ATIS is not broadcasting cloud base
the cloud base is not discernable
the cloud ceiling is an unspecified upper limit
16. which air mass is most likely to lead to an unstable air across the UK
pol mar air from the north west
pol con air from the north east
trop mar air from the south west
trop con air from the south east
17. which of the following is incorrect in regards to ISA
density 1225gm
adiabatic lapse rate of 2.98 degrees per 1000ft
pressure 1013
OAT 15 degrees
18. a katabatic wind
flows uphill or downhill during the day in mountainous regions
flows downhill at night in mountainous regions
flows uphill at night in mountainous regions
flows downhill by day in mountainous regions
19. a pilot is flying along a 50nm route over the mountains, he sees stratus cloud to the north, lenticular and rotor cloud to the east, cirrus and altostratus cloud to the south, isol cumulus cloud to the west. Which direction will he encounter turbulence
W
N
E
S
20. flying over highland mountains with a strong headwind towards high terrainy, you should be cautious of
