What is the required flight visibility and distance form cloud if you are operating in Class E airspace at 9,500’ with a VFR on top clearance during daylight hours
3sm, 1,000’ above, 500’ below, 2000’ horizontally
What is min flight vis and cloud clearance for a flight under VFR in Class E airspace above 10,000’
5miles, 1, 1, 1sm
The flight instruction of other pilots in ATO service by and ATP is restricted to
36hrs/7 days
What effective runway length is required for a turbojet powered airplane at the dest airport if the runway is forecast to be wet/slippery at ETA
115% of the runway length required for a dry runway
If no quick donning o2 mask, max flight level allowed without one pilot wearing one?
Fl250
Max hours in 7 days as PIC?
32 hours
If a supplemental air carrier has a diversion, who is responsible?
PIC and director of operations
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
Arctic and subtropical
How will an area of thunderstorm activity, that may grow to severe intensity, be indicated on the convective outlook chart.
SLGT within any area
For international oceanic flights, a U.S high level sig wx (SIGWX) chart is prepared for use
Between FL250 and FL630
What information is provided by a convective outlook (AC)
It provides prospects of both general and severe thunderstorm activity during the following 24 hours
The hazardous Inflight Weather Advisory Service (HIWAS) is a continuous broadcast over selected VORs of
SIGMETs, CONVECTIVE SIGMETs, AIRMETs, Severe Weather Forecast Alerts (AWW), And Center Weather Advisories (CWA)
AWW, CWA are the two that you need to differentiate
On the constant pressure analysis chart, aircraft and satellite observations are used in the analysis over areas of sparse data. An aircraft observation is plotted using
A square
The tropopause varies from
20,000’ or below at the poles
65,000 at the equator
SIGMETs (other than convective SIGMETs) may be valid for not more than
4 hours for continuing phenomena
A SIGMET is issued when weather affects
3,000 square miles or more
Maximum turbulence potential charts (GTG-2) are issued
Hourly
