080 DEG @ 21 KTS & -7 DEG C
(REFER TO FIGURE 14)
IF THE TERRAIN ELEVATION IS 1,295’ MSL, WHAT IS THE HEIGHT ABOVE GROUND LEVEL OF THE BASE OF THE CEILING
505’ AGL
(REFER TO FIGURE 14)
THE INTENSITY OF THE TURBULENCE REPORTED AT A SPECIFIC ALTITUDE
LIGHT FROM 5,500 ‘ TO 7,200’
(REFER TO FIGURE 14)
THE INTENSITY AND TYPE OF ICING REPORTED BY A PILOT IS
LIGHT TO MODERATE RIME
(REFER TO FIGURE 15)
WHAT IS THE VALID PERIOD FOR THE TAF FOR KMEM
1800Z TO 1800Z
(REFER TO FIGURE 15)
IN THE TAF FROM KMEM, WHAT DOES “SHRA” STAND FOR
RAIN SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED
(REFER TO FIGURE 15)
BETWEEN 1000Z AND 1200Z, THE VISIBILITY AT KMEM IS FORECASTED TO BE
3 SM
(REFER TO FIGURE 15)
WHAT IS THE FORECAST WIND FOR KMEM FROM 1600Z UNTIL THE END OF THE FORECAST
VARIABLE @ 6KTS
(REFER TO FIGURE 15)
IN THE TAF FROM KOKC, THE “FM(FROM) GROUP” IS FORECAST FOR THE HOURS FROM 1600Z TO 2200Z WITH THE WIND FROM
180 DEG @ 10KTS
(REFER TO FIGURE 15)
IN THE TAF FROM KOKC, THE CLEAR SKY BECOMES
OVERCAST AT 2,000’ DURING THE FORECAST PERIOD BETWEEN 2200Z TO 2400Z
(REFER TO FIGURE 15)
DURING THE TIME PERIOD FROM 0600Z TO 0800Z, WHAT VISIBILITY IS FORECAST FOR KOKC
GREATER THAN 6 SM
(REFER TO FIGURE 15)
THE ONLY CLOUD-TYPE FORECAST IN TAF REPORTS IS
CUMULONIMBUS
TO DETERMINE THE FREEZING LEVEL AND AREAS OF PROBABLE ICING ALOFT, THE PILOT SHOULD REFER TO THE
INFLIGHT AVIATION WEATHER ADVISORIES
WHAT IS INDICATED WHEN THE CONVECTIVE SIGMET FORECASTS THUNDERSTORMS
THUNDERSTORMS OBSCURED BY MASSIVE CLOUD LAYERS
CONVECTIVE SIGMET’S ARE ISSUED OF THUNDERSTORMS THAT COVER 40% OR MORE OF AN AREA 3,000 SQ MILES OR
EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS OBSCURED BY MASSIVE CLOUD LAYERS
WHAT INFORMATION IS CONTAINED IN A CONVECTIVE SIGMET
TORNADOES, EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS, AND HAIL 3/4” OR GREATER IN DIAMETER
SIGMETS ARE ISSUED AS A WARNING OF WEATHER CONDITIONS HAZARDOUS TO WHICH AIRCRAFT
ALL AIRCRAFT
WHICH IN FLIGHT ADVISORY WOULD CONTAIN INFORMATION ON SEVERE ICING NOT ASSOCIATED WITH THUNDERSTORMS
SIGMET
AIRMETS ARE ADVISORIES OF SIGNIFICANT WEATHER PHENOMENA BUT LOWER INTENSITIES THAN SIGMET AND ARE INTENDED FOR DISSEMINATION TO
ALL PILOTS
(REFER TO FIGURE 17)
WHAT WIND IS FORECAST FOR STL AT 9,000’
230 DEG TRUE @ 32 KTS
(REFER TO FIG 17)
WHAT WIND IS FORECAST FOR STL @ 12,000’
230 DEG TRUE @ 39 KTS
WHAT VALUES ARE USED FOR WINDS ALOFT FORECASTS
TRUE DIRECTION AND KNOTS
WHEN THE TERM “LIGHT AND VARIABLE” IS USED IN A WINDS ALOFT FORECAST, THE CODED GROUP AND WIND SPEED IS
9900 AND LESS THAN 5 KTS
RADAR WEATHER REPORTS ARE OF SPECIAL INTEREST TO PILOTS BECAUSE THEY INDICATE
LOCATION OF PRECIPITATION ALONG WITH TYPE, INTENSITY, AND CELL MOVEMENT OF PRECIPITATION
HOW ARE LOW-LEVEL SIGNIFICANT WEATHER (SIGWX) PROGNOSTIC CHARTS BEST USED BY A PILOT
FOR DETERMINING AREAS TO AVOID (FREEZING LEVELS AND TURBULENCE)
SHORT RANGE PROGNOSTIC (PROG) CHARTS PROVIDE DEPICTIONS OF FORECASTS
SURFACE PRESSURE SYSTEMS, FRONTS AND PRECIPITATION
AVAILABLE IN FIVE FORECAST PERIODS 12,18,24,48 AND 60
LOW-LEVEL SIGNIFICANT WEATHER (SIGWX) CHARTS PROVIDE DEPICTIONS OF FORECASTS
AVIATION WEATHER HAZARDS SUCH AS MVFR AND IFR CONDITIONS, TURBULENCE AND FREEZING LEVELS
YOU PLANNED A ROUTE AND OBTAINED PRELIMINARY WEATHER INFORMATION TO DETERMINE THE FEASIBILITY OF YOUR FLIGHT. ON THE MORNING OF YOUR FLIGHT, AN FAA APPROVED BRIEFING CONSISTS OF
OBTAINING A STANDARD BRIEFING AT 1-800 WXBRIEF.COM
WHEN TELEPHONING A WEATHER BRIEFING FACILITY FOR PREFLIGHTWEATHER INFORMATION, PILOTS SHOULD STATE
THE AIRCRAFT IDENTIFICATION OR THE PILOTS NAME
TO GET A COMPLETE WEATHER BRIEFING FOR THE PLANNED FLIGHT, THE PILT SHOULD REQUEST
A STANDARD BRIEFING
WHICH TYPE OF WEATHER BRIEFING SHOULD A PILOT REQUEST WHEN DEPARTING WITHIN THE HOUR IF NO PRELIMINARY WEATHER INFORMATION HAS BEEN RECEIVED
A STANDARD BRIEFING
WHICH TYPE OF WEATHER BRIEFING SHOULD A PILOR REQUEST TO SUPPLEMENT MASS DISSEMINATED DATA
AN ABBREVIATED BRIEFING
TO UPDATE A PREVIOUS WEATHER BRIEFING, A PILOT SHOULD REQUEST
AN ABBREVIATED BRIEFING
A WEATHER BRIEFING THAT IS PROVIDED WHEN THE INFORMATION REQUESTED IS A SIX OR MORE HOURS BEFORE THE PROPOSED DEPARTURE TIME
AN OUTLOOK BRIEFING
WHEN REQUESTING WEATHER INFORMATION FOR THE FOLLOWING MORNING, A PILOT SHOULD REQUEST
AN OUTLOOK BRIEFING
YOU PLAN TO PHONE A WEATHER BRIEFING FACILITY FOR PREFLIGHT WEATHER INFORMATION. YOU SHOULD…..
IDENTIFY YOURSELF AS A PILOT
WHEN SPEAKING TO A FLIGHT SERVICE WEATHER BRIEFE, YOU SHOULD STATE
WHETHER YOUR FLIGHT IS VFR OR IFR
TO OBTAIN A FLIGHT SERVICE BRIEFING OVER THE INTERNET, GO TO
1800WXBRIEF.COM AND SIGN UP USING YOUR CREDENTIALS
WHAT CONSIDERATIONS APPLY WHEN USING A COCKPIT DISPLAY OF RADAR DATA OBTAINED FROM FIS-B
THE RADAR ECHOES THAT ARE DEPICTED ON THE COCKPIT DISPLAY CAN SOMETIMES BE MORE THAN 20 MINUTES OLD
