What is the recommended technique to counter the 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.

(Refer to Figure 144.) When penetrating a microburst, which aircraft will experience an increase in performance without a change in pitch or power?. 3. 2. 1.

Which of the following weather conditions are conducive to inflight icing?. Visible rain with temperatures below 0 degrees C. Visible rain with temperatures below 10 degrees C. Visible rain with temperatures below 5 degrees C.

Freezing rain encountered during climb is normally evidence that. a climb can be made to a higher altitude without encountering more than light icing. a layer of warmer air exists above. ice pellets at higher altitudes have changed to rain in the warmer air below.

The tropopause is generally found when the free air temperatures are. between -55degC and -65degC. between -40degC and -55degC. colder than -60degC.

How does Coriolis force affect wind direction in the Southern Hemisphere?. Causes clockwise rotation around a low. Causes wind to flow out of a low toward a high. Has exactly the same effect as in the Northern Hemisphere.

Volcanic Ash Advisory charts are updated every. 4 hours. 6 hours. 12 hours.

In the International Terminal Aerodrome Forecast (TAF), a variable wind direction is noted by 'VRB' where the three digit direction usually appears. A calm wind appears in the TAF as. 0003KT. VRB00KT. 00000KT.

In which meteorological conditions can frontal waves and low pressure areas form?. Warm fronts or occluded fronts. Slow-moving cold fronts or stationary fronts. Cold front occlusions.

Steep frontal surfaces are usually associated with. fast moving warm front. fast moving cold front. dry lines.

What weather difference is found on each side of a 'dry line'?. Extreme temperature difference. Dewpoint difference. Stratus versus cumulus clouds.

Which is a disadvantage of the one-step over the two-step process when deicing/anti-icing an airplane?. It is more complicated. The holding time is increased. More fluid is used with the one-step method when large deposits of ice and snow must be flushed off airplane surface.

The threshold wind speed in the jet stream for clear air turbulence is generally considered to be. 100 Kts. 110 Kts. 120 Kts.

Isobars on a surface weather chart represent lines of equal pressure. at the surface. reduced to sea level. at a given atmospheric pressure altitude.

The prevailing visibility in the following METAR is METAR KFSM 131756Z AUTO 00000KT M1/4SM R25/0600V1000FT -RA FG VV004 06/05 A2989 RMK AO2 $. less than 1/4 statute mile. measured 1/4 statute mile. a mean (average) of 1/4 statute mile.

Where is a common location for an inversion?. At the tropopause. In the stratosphere. At the base of cumulus clouds.

The most likely condition in which to experience severe inflight icing with the ambient temperature below 0°C is. rain. visible moisture. fog.

Clear air turbulence associated with a jet stream is. most commonly found in temperatures between -40 and -50°C. most commonly found in the vicinity of the tropopause. similar to that associated with a tropical maritime front.

Data that may be added (manual weather augmentation) to the Automated Weather Observing System (AWOS) report is limited to. the precipitation accumulation report, and automated variable visibility, and wind direction remark. thunderstorms (intensity and direction), precipitation (type and intensity), and obstructions to visibility (dependent on the visibility being 3 miles or less). density altitude, NOTAMs, and reported slant range visibility.

Freezing Point Depressant (FPD) fluids are highly soluble in water; however,. ice is slow to absorb it but fast to melt when in contact with FPD. ice absorbs it very fast but is slow to melt when in contact with it. ice is slow to absorb it, and to melt when in contact with it.

What characterizes a ground-based inversion?. Convection currents at the surface. Cold temperatures. Poor visibility.

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