stage 3 study Flashcards
What are characteristics of a moist, unstable air mass?
Cumuliform clouds and showery precipitation.
What would decrease the stability of an air mass?
Warming from below.
Which inflight advisory would contain information on severe icing not associated with thunderstorms?
SIGMET.
Which conditions result in the formation of frost?
The temperature of the collecting surface is at or below the dew point of the adjacent air and the dew point is below freezing.
If the temperature/dew point spread is small and decreasing, and the temperature is 62°F, what type weather is most likely to develop?
Fog or low clouds.
Steady precipitation preceding a front is an indication of
stratiform clouds with little or no turbulence.
What feature is associated with a temperature inversion?
A stable layer of air.
What is the approximate base of the cumulus clouds if the surface air temperature at 1,000 feet MSL is 70°F and the dew point is 48°F?
6,000 feet MSL.
Clouds, fog, or dew will always form when
water vapor condenses.
What clouds have the greatest turbulence?
Cumulonimbus.
When the course deviation indicator (CDI) needle is centered during an omnireceiver check using a VOR test signal (VOT), the omnibearing selector (OBS) and the TO/FROM indicator should read
0° FROM or 180° TO, regardless of the pilot’s position from the VOT.

Glenmar Airport.
(Refer to Figure 21, area 3.) What type military flight operations should a pilot expect along IR 644?
IFR training flights above 1,500 feet AGL at speeds in excess of 250 knots.
(Refer to Figure 26, area 1.) Identify the airspace over Tomlinson Airport.
Class G airspace–surface up to but not including 1,200 feet AGL, Class E airspace–1,200 feet AGL up to but not including 18,000 feet MSL.
Which initial action should a pilot take prior to entering Class C airspace?
Contact approach control on the appropriate frequency.
(Refer to Figure 26, area 2.) What hazards to aircraft may exist in areas such as Devils Lake East MOA?
Military training activities that necessitate acrobatic or abrupt flight maneuvers.
(Refer to Figure 20 area 4.) What hazards to aircraft may exist in restricted areas such as R-5302B?
Unusual, often invisible, hazards such as aerial gunnery or guided missiles.
Question 41
Incorrect
Points out of 1.00
(Refer to Figure 26, area 5.) The airspace overlying and within 5 miles of Barnes County Airport is
Class G airspace from the surface to 700 feet AGL.
Unless otherwise specified, Federal Airways include that Class E airspace extending upward from
1,200 feet above the surface up to and including 17,999 feet MSL.
The radius of the procedural Outer Area of Class C airspace is normally
20 NM.
What action should a pilot take when operating under VFR in a Military Operations Area (MOA)?
(Refer to Figure 24.) What is the approximate position of the aircraft if the VOR receivers indicate the 245? radial of Sulphur Springs VOR/DME (area 5) and the 140? radial of Bonham VORTAC (area 3)?
Glenmar Airport.
(Refer to Figure 24, and Figure 28.) The VOR is tuned to Bonham VORTAC (area 3), and the aircraft is positioned over the town of Sulphur Springs (area 5). Which VOR indication is correct?
