Part 107

Question 1

Stratiform clouds

Answer 1

Thin clouds with little or no vertical movement. Indicative of fair weather

Question 2

Cumulus clouds

Answer 2

Puffy cloud, formations brought about by the vertical movement of unstable, warm and moist air into cooler regions at higher altitudes 

Question 3

Cumulonimbus clouds

Answer 3

Clouds that continue to grow, and may form into thunderstorms associated with extremely turbulent winds 

Question 4

Stationary front

Answer 4

A boundary between two air masses that is relatively balanced. This produces hazy conditions with overcast, clouds, and steady precipitation. I’m 

Question 5

Unstable air

Answer 5

Cumulus clouds, turbulence, showery precipitation, good visibilit

Question 6

14. In which environment is aircraft structural ice most likely to have the highest accumulation rate?

Answer 6

Freezing rain

Question 7

19. What causes variations in altimeter settings between weather reporting points?

Answer 7

Unequal heating of the Earth’s surface

Question 8

28. For aviation purposes, ceiling is defined as the height above the Earth’s surface of the

Answer 8

lowest broken or overcast layer or vertical visibility into an obscuration.

Question 9

38. Under what condition may an aircraft operate from a satellite airport within
    Class C airspace?

Answer 9

The pilot must contact AT as soon as practicable after takeoff.

Question 10

39. With certain exceptions, Class E airspace extends upward from either 700 feet or 1,200 feet AGL to, but does not include,

Answer 10

18,000 feet

Question 11

Which weather conditions should be expected beneath a low-level temperature inversion layer when the relative humidity is high?

Answer 11

A. Smooth air, poor visibility, fog, haze, or low clouds.

Question 12

42. which is true concerning the blue and magenta colors used to depict airports on Sectional Aeronautical Charts?

Answer 12

Airports with control towers underlying Class B, C, D, and E airspace are
shown in blue.

Question 13

which initial action should a pilot take prior to entering class c airspace?

Answer 13

O A. Contact approach control on the appropriate frequency.

Question 14

45. what feature is normally associated with the cumulus stage of a thunderstorm?

Answer 14

Continuous updraft

Question 15

46. which factor would tend to increase the density altitude at a given airport?

Answer 15

An increase in ambient temperature

Question 16

The amount of water vapor which air can hold depends on the

Answer 16

Air temperature

Question 17

50. what situation is most conducive to the formation of radiation fog?

Answer 17

warm, moist air over low, flatland areas on clear, calm nights.

Question 18

Safety is an important element for a remote pilot to consider prior to operating an unmanned aircraft system. To prevent the final “link” in the accident chain, a remote pilot must consider which methodology?

Answer 18

Risk management

Question 19

52. The most frequent type of ground or surface-based temperature inversion is that which is produced by

Answer 19

terrestrial radiation on a clear, relatively still night

Question 20

58. which weather phenomenon signals the beginning of the mature stage of a thunderstorm?

Answer 20

Precipitation, beginning to fall

Question 21

Radiation fog

Answer 21

Occurs when the ground cools rapidly and the surrounding area reaches the dewpoint. Can lead to ice fog in extremely cold temperatures.

Question 22

Upslope fog

Answer 22

Occurs when moist air mass is forced up, slopping land like mountains

Question 23

Advection fog

Answer 23

When a layer of warm, moist air moves over a cold surface, such as air masses, moving inland from the coast 

Question 24

Steam fog

Answer 24

Occurs when cool dry air mass moves over warm water. Associated with low level turbulence and icing
