38
Q

What is Buy’s Ballot Law

A

If you stand with your back to the wind, the area of low pressure will be to your left.

39
Q

Which way does air blow around a low? around a high?

A

low- counter clockwise

high- clockwise

40
Q

Which is larger in diameter, high pressure systems or low pressure systems?

A

High- several hundreds to thousands of km in diameter

low- 10km to hundreds of kms

41
Q

What makes a precision approach?

A

Localizer and glide plath, also uses decision height

42
Q

What makes a non precision approach?

A

Uses only a localizer for lateral guidance and a MDA- minimum decision height

43
Q

What are characteristics of stable air?

A

low visibilities, fog may occur.

stratus type cloud.

steady precipitation.

consistent, steady winds.

smooth flying conditions (often IFR with respect to ceiling and visibility).

44
Q

What are characteristics of unstable air?

A

good visibilities ( vertical currents carry away impurities ).

vertical development type clouds.

showery precipitation.

gusty winds.

bumpy flying conditions.

45
Q

What is humidity?

A

The quantity of water in the air

46
Q

What is relative humidity?

A

The ratio between the quantity of water in the air and the maximum amount of water vapour a volume can contain

47
Q

What is dewpoint?

A

The temperature at which water vapour will transform into water droplets

48
Q

What are the five lifting agents?

A

convection

orographic lift

frontal lift

mechanical turbulence

convergence

49
Q

What is MOCA?

A

Minimum Obstruction Clearance Altitude

The altitude above sea level in effect between radio fixes on a VHF/UHF low level airway which meets the IFR obstruction clearance requirements for the route segment.

50
Q

What is MEA?

A

Minimum En Route Altitude

The published altitude above sea level between radio fixes on airways or air routes which assures acceptable navigational signal coverage and meets the IFR obstruction clearance requirements.

Top number on a low chart.

51
Q

What is MRA?

A

Minimum Reception Altitude

At a specific VHF/UHF intersection, the lowest level above sea level at which acceptable navigational coverage is received to determine the intersection.

What is a SPECI?

A

A SPECI is a report taken at other times that reports significant weather events for aviation not previously reported.

62
Q

What is a TAF?

A

A TAF is the name of the international meteorological code for an Aerodrome Forecast.

TAFs are, in essence, forecast METARS, (without temperatures and pressure) that describe the forecast weather broken down into time segments of varying length.

63
Q

What is a PIREP

A

a pilot report

reports weather conditions experienced by an aircraft in flight

64
Q

What is a SIGMET?

A

SIGMETs are issued by the various Weather Centres across Canada for their own areas of responsibility.

A SIGMET is issued whenever at least one of the phenomena requiring a SIGMET has been reported or is expected to occur within the next 4 hours

65
Q

What is an AIRMET?

A

The AIRMET is a short-term weather advisory intended for aircraft in flight, to notify pilots of potentially hazardous weather conditions not described in the current GFA and not requiring a SIGMET.
