Which listed flight level is above the depicted layer-cloud tops and below the base of the CAT area affecting the route? 4 Answers Which statement describes the typical thermal structure immediately above the tropopause? 4 Answers The temperature at FL 160 is -22°C. What will the temperature be at FL 90 if the ICAO standard lapse rate is applied? 4 Answers Absolute instability in the atmosphere will occur when the environmental lapse rate is 4 Answers A selected flight level has a pressure-altitude value at least as high as a published minimum safe altitude expressed in feet AMSL. Under which pressure and air-column conditions can its true altitude be expected to be no lower than that pressure-altitude value? 4 Answers An aircraft is flying over the sea at FL 100, with a true altitude of 10000 feet; local QNH is 1003 hPa. What assumption, if any, can be made about the air mass in which the aircraft is flying? 4 Answers The following temperatures have been observed over a station at 1200 UTC.
