Question 6

1435
Which weather conditions should be expected beneath a low-level temperature inversion layer when the relative humidity is high?

Answer 6

Smooth air and poor visibility due to fog, haze, or low clouds

Question 7

2676
Weather variation results from

Answer 7

heating over the earth’s surface

Question 10

1434
A temperature inversion is an indication of

Answer 10

stable air.

Question 11

Question 12

2764
You are cruising in rain, with a flight level temperature a few degrees above freezing. You can expect

Answer 12

possible structural icing.

Question 13

2851
After takeoff, you encounter warmer outside air temperature at 2,000 feet AGL and some turbulence. What is a possible cause of the turbulence?

Answer 13

Temperature inversion.

Question 14

2858
During climb out after takeoff, you encounter light turbulence at 3,000 feet AGL before entering smooth air. You notice the OAT is warmer than it was at ground level. This indicates

Answer 14

a Temperature inversion.

Question 15

2505
Which is a characteristic of low-level wind shear as it relates to low level temperature inversions?

Answer 15

Allow airspeed to go above normal climb and approach speed.
