The purpose of diluting ethylene glycol deicing fluid with water in non precipitation conditions is to
Decrease the freezing point
Adding water decreases the freezing point
Freezing point depressant (FPD) fluids are highly soluble in water, however
Ice is slow to absorb it, and slow to melt when in contact with it.
What is the expected duration of an individual microburst?
Seldom longer than 15 minutes from the time the burst strikes the ground until dissipation
Maximum downdrafts in a microburst encounter may be as strong as
6,000 ft/min
What is the definition of ‘severe wind-shear’
Airspeed changes greater than 15 knots
Which areas of the Northern hemisphere experience a generally E to W movement of weather systems

7%
Friction braking becomes effective at
70-80% touchdown speed
The Specific fuel range of a turbojet at 40,000’ is approx ____% greater than at sea level
150%
A rule of thumb states for a 1000’ increase in density altitude for a low thrust ti weight ratio will cause a takeoff distance increase of
10%
10% increase in Takeoff weight for low thrust to weight ratio increases distance by
25-30%
Supercooled water droplets have been observed at temps as low as
-40C
For turbulence areas you would do well to avoid areas

The authority to exercise operational control lies with the
Air carrier
Convective sigmet is issued when winds usts greater than or equal to
50 knots
A dry line indicates
An area where the easterly boundary of high humidity increases the probability of TS activity
Severe turbulence not associated with a TS will result in the issuance of a
SIGMET
