⩥ True or false: when photos of clouds are taken at slant or oblique
angles, the cloud coverage looks greater than it actually is. Answer: True
⩥ For low clouds of _________ or __________ coverage, cloud-base
height above ground defines the cloud __________. Answer: Broken,
overcast, ceiling
⩥ Which device can we use to determine ceiling altitude? Answer: Laser
ceilometer
⩥ If someone uses the word "visibility" with no preceding adjective,
what are they referring to? Answer: Horizontal visibility
⩥ Runway visual range (RVR) is most similar to which of these terms:
- slant visibility
- cloud ceiling altitude
- horizontal visibility
- vertical visibility
- none of the above Answer: Horizontal visibility
,⩥ How is ceiling related to visibility? Answer: An indefinite ceiling
equals the vertical visibility if the sky is obscured
⩥ Flying by looking at the ground for reference is abbreviated as:
Answer: VFR
⩥ If a VFR pilot flies into IMC (instrument meteorological conditions -
fly primarily by reference to instruments), the likely outcome is that the
pilot:
- loses their pilots license
- loses control of the aircraft
- can continue flight like normal
- falls out of the aircraft
- must make a U-turn to fly back Answer: Loses control of the aircraft
⩥ When flying IFR (aircraft permitted to operate in IMC), can you
safely fly through volcanic ash? Answer: No!
⩥ What does atmosphere stability refer to? Answer: Whether the air will
become or stay turbulent
, ⩥ Suppose an air parcel is pushed vertically a small distance away from
its starting altitude, if this parcel is in statically STABLE air, then it
would tend to: Answer: Return to its starting altitude
⩥ If CAPE (Convective Available Potential Energy) were large (> 2000
J/kg) then you could anticipate that the following factor might affect
your flight:
- Strong thunderstorms are likely
- Turbulence could be weak in clouds
- Being near a cost line
- There is a coating of ice that acts like a cape over your wings
- Air is statically stable Answer: Strong thunderstorms are likely
⩥ The weather associated with occluded fronts is most like the weather
in:
- dry lines
- both cold and warm fronts
- cold fronts
- stationary fronts
- warm fronts Answer: Both cold and warm fronts
⩥ What kind of clouds are expected for warm fronts? Answer:
Stratiform clouds
