In what height range and at what intensity could you encounter turbulence in CAT area n°2?
Which layer of the atmosphere contains more than 90 per cent of all water vapour?
Considering the North Atlantic area north of 60°N during winter, the mean height of the tropopause is approximately:
At a sea-level aerodrome, QNH is 983 hPa and the air column below FL 100 is uniformly 15°C colder than ISA. For this exercise use a rounded standard reference of 1013 hPa, 30 ft per hPa, then apply the 4% per 10°C temperature correction to the pressure-corrected height above the aerodrome. What is the estimated true altitude of FL 100, rounded to the nearest 10 ft?
An aircraft flies westward on a heading of 270° while maintaining the 500 hPa pressure surface in the Northern Hemisphere. Assuming approximately geostrophic flow, which statement is correct?
An aircraft maintains an indicated altitude of 5,500 ft from A (elevation 1,050 ft AMSL, QNH 968 hPa) to B (elevation 650 ft AMSL, QNH 1016 hPa), with its altimeter setting unchanged at 968 hPa. Assuming an approximately ISA air column and using 30 ft per hPa for this exercise, what is its estimated height above the surface at B?
In large-scale horizontal atmospheric flow away from the Equator, which effect deflects air from a direct path from high pressure toward low pressure?
Geostrophic wind is the wind when isobars are:
Which of the following is true concerning an aircraft that is flying at FL180 in the northern hemisphere, where wind is geostrophic and the true altitude remains constant?
In Northern Hemisphere summer, which broad latitude belt is most characteristic of the main tracks of travelling frontal depressions over the North Atlantic and adjacent midlatitude regions? Treat the limits as approximate climatology.
