Question 1

Which direct physical effect can lightning produce on the external aircraft structure?

Accepted Answer

Local heating, burns or damage at attachment and exit points.

Answer

Guaranteed complete depressurisation of every aircraft.

Answer

Guaranteed explosion of every cockpit instrument.

Answer

Immediate cooling of all metal surfaces to freezing.

Question 2

Which meteorological statement is correct? Radiation fog forms mainly...

Accepted Answer

on clear nights with light wind and moist air

Answer

strong mixing in very dry air

Answer

a warm surface heating dry air well above its dew point

Answer

a very dry air mass with a large temperature-dew-point spread

Question 3

Which type of ice forms by large, supercooled droplets hitting the front surfaces of an aircraft?

Accepted Answer

Clear ice

Answer

Hoar frost

Answer

Rime ice

Answer

Mixed ice

Question 4

Which condition particularly favours structural ice accretion?

Accepted Answer

Supercooled liquid water droplets striking an aircraft surface cold enough for them to freeze.

Answer

warm dry air well above freezing

Answer

cold dry air containing no liquid water

Answer

cloud containing only ice crystals and no liquid water

Question 5

What cloud sequence can typically be observed during the passage of a warm front?

Accepted Answer

Cirrus, thickening altostratus and altocumulus clouds, lowering cloud base with rain, nimbostratus

Answer

In coastal areas during daytime wind from the coast and forming of cumulus clouds, dissipation of clouds during evening and night

Answer

Wind becoming calm, dissipation of clouds and warming during summer; formation of extended high fog layers during winter

Answer

Squall line with showers of rain and thunderstorms (Cb), gusting wind followed by cumulus clouds with isolated showers of rain

Question 6

Weather and operational information about the destination aerodrome can be obtained during the flight by...

Accepted Answer

ATIS

Answer

VOLMET

Answer

PIREP

Answer

SIGMET

Question 7

Approximately how does ISA temperature change from mean sea level to 10 000 m?

Accepted Answer

From +15° to -50°C

Answer

From +20° to -40°C

Answer

From +30° to -40°C

Answer

From -15° to 50°C

Question 8

Which practical rule applies to METAR?

Accepted Answer

It reports observed aerodrome weather at a specific time

Answer

it is a forecast valid only for a future period

Answer

it describes only upper-air winds along a route

Answer

it is a pilot report of conditions experienced in flight

Question 9

In moist and unstable conditions, what weather may develop near an upper-level trough?

Accepted Answer

Development of showers and thunderstorms (Cb)

Answer

Calm wind, forming of shallow cumulus clouds

Answer

Calm weather, formation of lifted fog layers

Answer

Formation of high stratus clouds, ground-covering cloud bases

Question 10

How should warm fronts be understood by a private pilot?

Accepted Answer

They are often associated with layered cloud and widespread precipitation

Answer

it guarantees unlimited visibility in every case

Answer

its approach always produces only isolated fair-weather cumulus

Answer

it guarantees no precipitation or lowering cloud base
