Which INITIAL cockpit indicatons should a pilot be awere of when a headwind shears to a calm wind?. Indicated airspeed decreases, aircraft pitches up, and altitude decreases. Indicated airspeed increases, aircraft pitches down, and altitude increases. Indicated airspeed decreases, aircraft pitches down, and altitude decreases.

Which wind-shear condition results in an increase in airpeed?. Increasing tailwind and decreasing headwind. Increasing tailwind and headwind. Decreasing tailwind and increasing headwind.

Which wind-shear condition results in a loss of airspeed?. Decreasing headwind or tailwind. Decreasing headwind and increasing tailwind. Increasing headwind and decreasing tailwind.

What is the recommended technique to counter a loss of airspeed and resultant lift from wind shear?. Lower the pitch attitude and regain lost airspeed. Avoid overstressing the aircraft, "pitch to airspeed", and apply maximum power. Maintain, or increase, pitch attitude and accept the lower-than-normal airspeed indications.

What is the expected duration of an individual microburst?. Two minutes with maximum winds lasting approximately 1 minute. One microburst may continue for as long as 2 to 4 hours. Seldom longer than 15 minutes from the time the burst strikes the ground until dissipation.

Under what conditions would clear air turbulence (CAT) most likely be encountered?. When constant pressure charts show a 20-knot isotaches less than 60 NM apart. When constant pressure charts show a 60-knot isotaches less than 20 NM apart. When a sharp trough is moving at a speed less than 20 knots.

Which is the definition of "severe wind shear"?. Any rapid change of horizontal wind shear in excess of 25 knots; vertical shear excepted. Any rapid change in wind direction or velocity which causes airspeed changes greater than 15 knots or vertical speed changes greater tan 500 ft/min. Any change of air speed greater than 20 Knots which issustained for more than 20 seconds or vertical speed changes in excess of 100ft/min.

What airport condition is reported by the tower when more than one wind condition at different positions on the airport is reported?. Light and variable. Wind shear. Frontal passage.

Which INITIAL cockpit indications should a pilot be awere of when a constant tailwind shears to a calm wind?. Altitude increases; pitch and indicated airspeed decrease. Altitude, pitch, and indicated airspeed decrease. Altitude, pitch, and indicated airspeed increase.

Clear air turbulence (CAT) associated with a mountain wave may extend as fas as. 1,000 miles or more downstream of the mountain. 5,000 feet above the tropopause. 100 miles or more upwind of the mountain.

What action is appropriate when encountering the first ripple of reported clear air turbulence (CAT). Extend flaps to decrease wind loading. Extend gear to provide more drag and increase stability. Adjust airspeed to that recomended for rough air.

If severe turbulence is encountered, which procedure is recommended?. Mantain a constant altitude. Mantain a constant attitude. Mantain constant airspeed and altitude.

Which action is recomended regarding an altitude change to get out of the jet stream turbulence?. Descend if ambient temperature is falling. Descend if ambient temperature is rising. Mantain altitude or course to avoid a possible elongated turbulent area.

Hazardous vortex turbulence that might be encontered behind large aircraft is created only when that aircraft is. Developing lift. Operating at high airspeeds. Using high power settings.

Which flight conditions of large jet airplane create the most severe flight hazard by generating wingtip vortices of the greatest strength?. Heavy, slow, gear and flaps up. Heavy, slow, gear and flaps down. Heavy, fast, gear and flaps down.

What effect would a light corsswind have on the wingtip vortices generated by large airplane that has just taken off?. The upwind vortex will tend to remain on the runway longer than the downwind vortex. A crosswind will rapidly dissipate the strength of both vortices. The downwind vortex will tend to remain on the runway longer than the upwind vortex.

What wind condition prolongs the hazard of the wake turbulence on a landing runway for the longest period of time?. Direct tailwind. Light quartering tailwind. Light quartering headwind.

To avoid the wingtip vortices of a departing jet airplane during takeoff, the pilot should. Lift off at a point well past the jet airplanes flight path. Climb above and stay upwind of the jet airplanes flight path. Remain below the flight path of the jet airplane.

If you take off behind a Heavy jet that has just landed, you should plan to lift off. prior to the point where the jet touched down. beyond the point where the jet touched down. at the point where the jet touched down and on the upwind edge of the runway.

What is the pilots responsability for the clearance or instruction readback?. Except for SIDs, read back altitude assignmets, altitude restrictions, and vectors. If the clearance or instruction is understood, and acknowledgement is sufficient. Read back the entire clearance or instruction to confirm the message is understood.

What action should a pilot take when a clearance is received from ATC that appears to be contrary to a regulation?. Read the clearance back in its entirety. Request a clarification from ATC. Do no accept the clearance.

What report should the pilot make at a clearance limit?. Time and altitude/flight level arriving or leaving. Time, altitude/flight level, and expected holding speed. Time, altitude/flight level, and expected holding speed, and inbound leg length.

What action should a pilot take if asked by ARTCC to "VERIFY 9,000" and the flight is actually maintaining 8,000?. Immediately climb to 9000. Report climbing to 9000. Report maintaining 9000.

Where are position reports required on an IFR flight on airway or routes?. Over all designated compulsory reporting points. Only where specifically requested by ARTCC. When requested to change altitude or advise of weather conditions.

Which reports are required when operating IFR in radar environment?. Position reports, vacating and altitude, unable to climb 500ft/min, and time and altitude reaching a holding fix or point to which cleared. Position reports, vacating and altitude, unable to climb 500 ft/min, and time and altitude reaching a holding fix or point to which cleared, and a change in average true airspeed exceeding 5 percent or 10 Knots. Vacating and altitude, unable to climb 500ft/min, time and altitude reaching a holding fix or point to which cleared, a change in average true airspeed exceeding 5 percent or 10Knots, and leaving and assigned holding fix or point.
