Q

Why should you not fly beyond TBO

A

Overhaul will ensure safety and reliability

Overhaul at TBO is less expensive than an engine engine run for 200+ hours more

Running engine past TBO accelerates wear of the engine

Q

What weather is characterized by High Pressure and Low Pressure

A

High Pressure is characterized by rising air “which creates cloudiness”, Precipitation, and bad weather.

Low Pressure is characterized by Dissipation of cloudiness and good weather

30
Q

How do Cold Fronts, Occluded Fronts, Warm Fronts, and Stationary Fronts occur

A

Cold Front occur when a Cold air mass replaces a Warm air mass

Occluded Front is when a Cold Front or Warm Front is occurring and a cold air mass is added, it’s a double front

Warm front occurs when a warm air mass blankets a cold air mass

Stationary Front is when two air masses are not strong enough to overcome each other and are held in place by each other

31
Q

Weather characterized by Cold Fronts and Warm Fronts

A

Cold Front are characterized by towering cumulus or cumulonimbus, heavy rain (sometimes lighting/thunder), hail, possibly tornadoes, poor visibility, variable/gusting winds, temperature/dewpoint and barometric pressure drop rapidly

Warm front are characterized by stratiform clouds, drizzle, low ceilings, poor visibility, variable winds, and rise in temperature

32
Q

Trough Explained

A

Trough is when Low Pressure collides together at the surface and when surrounded by a higher pressure, the low pressure can’t go against the high pressure and it can’t go downward due to the surface, so it goes upward.

33
Q

Ridge explained

A

Ridge is when Low Pressure collides together over a open ridge or canyon and descends downward

34
Q

Coriolis Effect explained

A

Is caused by the rotation of the earth it deflects winds to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and Left in the Southern, near the equator there is little to no deflection. The effect is moving in a straight line is curved across a spherical mass, the curve is caused by different speeds of rotation around different areas around a sphere.

35
Q

Surface Friction against Coriolis Effect Explained

A

Near the surface, friction reduces the wind speed, which reduces the Coriolis force. The weaker Coriolis force no longer balances the pressure gradient force and so the wind blows across the isobars toward lower pressure.

36
Q

Dewpoint Defined

A

The temperature to which air must be cooled to become saturated

37
Q

What weather occurs when Temperature/Dewpoint are closer together

A

38
Q

What determines the type of clouds that form and vertical extent of clouds that form.

A

Stability of atmosphere

39
Q

If you encounter icing, which actions must be taken

A

Leave the area of visible moisture

40
Q

Temperature Inversion Defined and Ground Based Temperature Inversions characteristics

A

Temperature inversions are increase in temperature with height.

Ground based temperature inversions characteristics are poor visibility by trapping of air particles and Stable air.

41
Q

How does fog form

A

When temperature and Dewpoint become near identical or identical, near the surface.

42
Q
