Possible mountain wave turbulence could be anticipated when winds of 40 knots or greater blow

Answer 26

across a mountain ridge, and the air is stable.

Question 27

What is one of the neglected items when a pilot relies on short and long term memory for repetitive tasks?

Answer 27

Checklists.

Question 28

When may hazardous wind shear be expected?

Answer 28

In areas of low-level temperature inversion, frontal zones, and clear air turbulence.

Question 29

The final authority as to the operation of an aircraft is the

Answer 29

pilot in command.

Question 30

If a recreational or private pilot had a flight review on August 8, this year, when is the next flight review required?

Answer 30
