Practise Meteorology
You plan to cross a mountain range at a true altitude of 15,000 ft AMSL. The air column is 15°C colder than ISA, and the QNH for a sea-level reference is 1003 hPa. With the altimeter set to 1013.2 hPa, which indication is closest using EASA theoretical-exam altimetry approximations?
During a flight at FL 100 from Marseille (QNH 1012 hPa) to Palma de Mallorca (QNH 1015 hPa), an aircraft remains at a constant true altitude. The reason for this is that:
An aircraft lands at an airport (airport elevation 1240 FT, QNH 1008 hPa). The altimeter is set to 1013 hPa. The altimeter will indicate:
After landing at an aerodrome (aerodrome elevation 1715 FT), the altimeter indicates an altitude of 1310 FT. The altimeter is set to the pressure value of 1013 hPa. What is the QNH at this aerodrome?
You intend to overfly a mountain range. The recommended minimum altitude is 15 000 ft AMSL. The air mass is on average 15°C warmer than ISA and the altimeter is set to QNH 1023 hPa. What altimeter reading corresponds to the recommended minimum altitude?
You are flying at FL 130, and your true altitude is 12000 FT. What is the temperature deviation from that of the standard atmosphere at FL 130 (QNH 1013.2 hPa)?
What pressure is defined as QFE?
With a serviceable pressure altimeter set to the correct local QNH, which condition makes the indicated altitude lower than the true altitude above the reference level?
An aircraft flying at FL 100 from Marseille (QNH 1012 hPa) to Palma de Mallorca (QNH 1006 hPa) experiences no change to true altitude. The reason for this is that:
During a flight over the sea at FL 100 from Marseille (QNH 1012 hPa) to Palma de Mallorca (QNH 1012 hPa), the true altitude is constantly increasing. What action, if any, should be taken?
