Notes 2

Question 1

What is indicated by the term ‘embedded thunderstorms’?

Answer 1

Thunderstorms are obscured by massive cloud layers and cannot be seen.

Question 2

Where can wind shear associated with a thunderstorm be found?

Answer 2

On all sides of the thunderstorm cell and directly under the cell.

Question 3

“light” or “chop turbulence and plane control:

Answer 3

slight erratic changes in altitude or attitude.

Question 4

severe turbulence

Answer 4

plane is momentarily out of control Turbalnce

Question 5

extreme turbulence

Answer 5

Is practically impossible to control.

Question 6

If squalls are reported at your destination, what wind conditions should you anticipate?

Answer 6

Sudden increases in wind speed of at least 16 knots, rising to 22 knots or more, lasting for at least 1 minute.

Question 7

headwind shears to be a constant tailwind, next steP

Answer 7

PITCH ATTITUDE: Decreases;
REQUIRED THRUST: Increased, then reduced;
VERTICAL SPEED: Increases;
IAS: Decreases, then increases to approach speed.

Question 8

Which thunderstorms generally produce the most severe conditions, such as heavy hail and destructive winds?

Answer 8

Squall line.

Question 9

\wind shear a shift from a tailwind to a headwind, what power management would normally be required to maintain a constant indicated airspeed and ILS glide slope?

Answer 9

Lower than normal power initially, followed by a further decrease as the wind shear is encountered, then an increase.

Question 10

What is the expected duration of an individual microburst?

Answer 10

An individual microburst will seldom last longer than 15 minutes from the time it strikes the ground until dissipation.

Question 11

Which conditions result in the formation of frost?

Answer 11

Temperature of the collecting surface is below the dewpoint of surrounding air and the dewpoint is colder than freezing.

Question 12

upercooled large droplets (SLD), steps to take

Answer 12

1. Disengage the autopilot. Hand-fly the airplane.
2. Advise air traffic control a
3. Change heading, altitude, or both to find an area that is warmer than freezing, substantially colder than the current ambient temperature, or clear of clouds.
4. When severe icing conditions exist, reporting may assist other crews in maintaining vigilance.

Question 13

Why is frost considered hazardous to flight operations?

Answer 13

Frost causes early airflow separation resulting in a loss of lift.

Question 14

Your airplane is collecting ice on its tailplane. Since you can’t see it, you can realize its presence by:

Answer 14

The airplane’s reaction by pitching down.

Question 15

How to get out of roll upset?

Answer 15

• Reduce the AOA by increasing airspeed or extending wing flaps to the first setting if at or below
• Set the appropriate power, and monitor the airspeed and AOA.
• If the flaps are extended, do not retract them
• Verify that the wing ice protection is functioning normally and symmetrically through visual observation of each wing. I

Question 16

Jet cross a cold front in IMC and notice the temperatures begin dropping to near freezing

Answer 16

Clear icing.

Question 17

What is the function of a weeping wing, often called running wet systems?

Answer 17

The weeping wing helps prevent the formation and build-up of ice.

Question 18

What is the best technique when using deicing boots in icing conditions?

Answer 18

Activate the boots immediately at the first indication of ice.

Question 19

An abrupt change from climb to straight-and-level flight can create the illusion of

Answer 19

tumbling backwards.

Question 20

How can the pilot determine, for an ILS runway equipped with MALSR, that there may be a penetration of the obstacle identification surfaces (OIS), and care should be taken in the visual segment to avoid any obstacles?

Answer 20

The published visibility for the ILS is no lower than 3/4 SM

Question 21

Without visual aid, a pilot often interprets centrifugal force as a sensation of

Answer 21

rising or falling.

Question 22

What is the lateral displacement of the aircraft in NM from the radial selected on the No. 1 NAV?

CDI is 2.5 dot to East

Answer 22

There are 5 dots on either side of the center of the CDI. Each dot represents about 200’ per mile. The CDI indicates a 2.5 dot deflection. 2.5 x 200’ = 500’. 500’ x 60 = 30,000’ or about 5 miles off course. (1 nautical mile = 6,000’)

Question 23

Which feature is associated with the tropopause?

Answer 23

Abrupt change in temperature lapse rate.

Question 24

What is the purpose of an ILS critical area marking sign?

Answer 24

That you are clear of the ILS critical area.

Question 25

Clouds, fog, or dew will always form when

Answer 25

water vapor condenses.

Question 26

To exercise the privileges of BasicMed, what additional documents must the pilot in command have?

Can u use a passport?

Answer 26

A current and valid U.S. driver’s license, the completed CMEC checklist and BasicMed medical certificate completion course in the pilot’s logbook.

no

Question 27

Embedded thunderstorms are often found:

Answer 27

In warm or stationary frontal zones.

Question 28

Before beginning any flight under IFR, the pilot in command must become familiar with all available information concerning that flight. In addition, the pilot must

Answer 28

be familiar with the runway lengths at airports of intended use, and the alternatives available if the flight cannot be completed.
