Adverse Weather Ops

Question 1

Increase in tailwind

Answer 1

Will fly below glide path

Question 2

Crossing ITCZ and face a CB in front which you navigate through

Answer 2

Might experience erroneous readings of air parameters

Question 3

Prior to takeoff, there’s a microburst ahead

Answer 3

Delay takeoff

Question 4

Landing at an airport with wind shear

Answer 4

Delay landing

Question 5

Encounter wind shear after takeoff

Answer 5

Maintain flap and gear extension until cleared terrain

Question 6

Define low level windshear

Answer 6

Vertical/horizontal change in direction and/or wind speed change on approach flight path and departure lanes

Question 7

Define updraft/downdraft shear

Answer 7

Changes in vertical component of wind with horizontal distance

Question 8

Define microburst

Answer 8

Wind accel in horizontal and vertical direction

Question 9

Wind shear reported just before approach to land. What should you do?

Answer 9

Hold or divert to alternate

Question 10

Microburst ahead or you and to the right whilst on the glide path

Answer 10

IAS INCREASE, plane drifts to the LEFT, you are ABOVE glidepath

Question 11

Encountering downdraft

Answer 11

Increase headwind and decrease tailwind

Question 12

Answer 12

0 kts

Question 13

Directly under a microburst, VSI reads

Answer 13

0 kts

Answer 16

4/5/4

Question 17

Where would you find info on bird migration areas/routes?

Answer 17

AIP Part 2 ENR

Question 18

Answer 18

Submit written bird strike report to authority

Question 19

During flight, part of aircraft concerning measurement of engine parameters gets blocked

Answer 19
