Question 1

What temperatures are most dangerous with respect to airframe icing?

Accepted Answer

0° to -12° C

Answer

+5° to -10° C

Answer

-20° to -40° C

Answer

+20° to -5° C

Question 2

For a VFR private pilot, what should be remembered about pressure gradient?

Accepted Answer

A stronger gradient normally indicates stronger wind

Answer

It guarantees smooth air

Answer

It replaces NOTAM

Answer

It determines fuel grade

Question 3

Cumulonimbus clouds are associated with...

Accepted Answer

thunderstorms, turbulence, icing and hail

Answer

calm laminar flow only

Answer

no vertical movement

Answer

excellent VMC below cloud

Question 4

Which statement gives the best operational interpretation of temperature-dew point spread?

Accepted Answer

A small spread indicates high humidity and possible mist, fog or low cloud

Answer

It replaces NOTAM

Answer

It always reduces landing distance

Answer

It is unrelated to cloud formation

Question 5

Which statement about pressure gradient is correct for a PPL(A) pilot?

Accepted Answer

A stronger gradient normally indicates stronger wind

Answer

It determines fuel grade

Answer

It removes turbulence

Answer

It is unrelated to wind

Question 6

Before departure, how should weather alternates be understood by a private pilot?

Accepted Answer

They should be reviewed because destination weather can deteriorate

Answer

It always reduces landing distance

Answer

It always improves visibility

Answer

It is a runway marking

Question 7

In normal private flying, which statement about wind shear is correct?

Accepted Answer

It can cause sudden changes in airspeed, flight path and performance

Answer

It changes magnetic variation

Answer

It replaces NOTAM

Answer

It applies only to turbine aircraft

Question 8

Which statement gives the best operational interpretation of cumulonimbus?

Accepted Answer

It is associated with thunderstorms, severe turbulence, icing, hail and wind shear

Answer

It means the aircraft is unserviceable

Answer

It is a type of runway marking

Answer

It is unrelated to wind or cloud

Question 9

For safe PPL(A) operation, how should sea breeze be understood?

Accepted Answer

It is a local circulation caused by differential heating of land and sea

Answer

It is checked only once per year

Answer

It always reduces landing distance

Answer

It is an aircraft maintenance forecast

Question 10

Which meteorological statement is correct? A temperature-dew point spread becoming small indicates...

Accepted Answer

increasing risk of cloud or fog

Answer

It removes the need for alternates

Answer

It guarantees smooth air

Answer

It replaces NOTAM
