Notes 6

Question 1

What approximate wind direction, speed, and temperature (relative to ISA) should a pilot expect when planning for a flight over ALB at FL 270?

Answer 1

For FL270, interpolate between 24,000 and 30,000 (see table below). Standard temperature lapse rate is 2° C / 1,000’. Given FL270; 27 x -2 = -54° C. -54° C +15° C (ISA at sea level) = -39° C. -35° C is 4° warmer than -39° C for ISA+4°.

Question 2

30000

781842

Answer 2

78-50
18 + 100
-42

Question 3

Minimums are specified for various aircraft approach categories based upon a value _______ times the ________ of the aircraft

Answer 3

1.3

stalling speed

Question 4

Speed for category A, B C

Answer 4

A: 0-90
B: 91-120
C: 121- 141

Question 5

Precision Runway Monitoring (PRM) approach special requirement is

Answer 5

Listening on two PRM frequencies, a tower PRM frequency and a final controller PRM frequency.

Question 6

After your recent IFR experience lapses, how much time do you have before you must pass an instrument competency check to act as pilot in command under IFR?

Answer 6

A pilot has 6 months in which to renew his IFR currency without taking an instrument proficiency check after his recent IFR experience expires.

Question 7

The ‘No Entry’ sign identifies

Answer 7

paved area where aircraft entry is prohibited.

Question 8

The Surface Analysis Chart depicts

Answer 8

1) actual frontal positions
2) pressure patterns
3) temperature
4) dew point
5) wind
6) weather
7) obstructions to vision at the valid time of the chart.

Question 9

Moderate Turbulence for the passengers

Answer 9

feel definite strains against seat belts or shoulder straps. Unsecured objects are dislodged. Food service and walking are difficult.

Question 10

Light Turbulance for the passengers

Answer 10

Occupants may feel a slight strain against seat belts or shoulder straps. Unsecured objects may be displaced slightly.

Question 11

Severe Turbulance for the passengers

Answer 11

Occupants are forced violently against seat belts or shoulder straps. Unsecured objects are tossed about. Food Service and walking are impossible.

Question 12

DME indication directly over a VORTAC site at approximately 6,000 feet AGL?

Answer 12

1NM

Question 13

restriction to private pilots flying without a current medical certificate under the guidance of BasicMed?

Answer 13

You may not operate an airplane for compensation or hire.

Question 14

You are on a composite flight plan. How should you transition from VFR to IFR?

Answer 14

Prior to transitioning to IFR, contact the nearest FSS, close the VFR portion, and request ATC clearance.

Question 15

Interpert thw follwoing

UA/OV OKC 063064/TM 1522/FL080/TP C172/TA -04/WV 245040/TB LGT/RM IN CLR.

Answer 15

OV OKC 063064 = 63° radial 64 NM from OKC.
TM 1522 = time 1522Z. FL080 = altitude 8,000’.
TP C172 = aircraft was a Cessna 172.
TA -4 = OAT of -4° C.
WV 245040 = wind from 245 at 40 kts.
TB LGT = light turbulence. RM IN CLR = remarks in the clear.

Question 16

Answer 16

15500 to 17500

Question 17

What type of clouds will be formed if very stable moist air is forced up slope?

Answer 17

Stratified clouds with little vertical development.

Question 18

Coverage values for the identifiers are:
isolated—
occasional—
frequent—

Answer 18

less than 1/8;
1/8 to 4/8; and
more than 4/8.

Question 19

When is radar service terminated during a visual approach?

Answer 19

Automatically when ATC instructs the pilot to contact the tower.

Question 20

The 3 bar VASI provides_______visual glide paths (an upper and a lower). The upper glide path, provided by the middle and far bar, is normally ¼° higher than the lower glide path and constitute a 2 bar VASI.

Answer 20

two
