Jeppesen Private Pilot Stage II Exam
What is the major motivating force behind atmospheric circulation? - CORRECT
ANSWER-Uneven heating of the earth's surface
What processes result in moisture being added to unsaturated air? - CORRECT
ANSWER-Evaporation & Sublimation\\\
What weather conditions can you expect with a small or converging
temperature/dewpoint spread? - CORRECT ANSWER-Fog or low clouds
With the approach and passage of a frontal system in the United States, what
pressure and wind direction changes take place? - CORRECT ANSWER-The
pressure falls as the front approaches and rises after its passage, while the wind
direction shifts to the right after frontal passage.
What conditions are necessary for the formation of thunderstorms? - CORRECT
ANSWER-Unstable air, a lifting force, and high moisture levels.
Thunderstorms and squall lines are generally associated with what type of front?
- CORRECT ANSWER-Fast-moving cold
Select the true statement regarding wind shear. - CORRECT ANSWER-A
microburst - one of the most dangerous sources of wind shear - is a downdraft
associated with convective activity.

aviation routine weather report (METAR), how far below the ceiling will you be if
you are flying at 7,500 feet MSL over Denver? - CORRECT ANSWER-900 feet
According to the accompanying terminal aerodrome forecast (TAF), what visibility
and ceiling are forecast by 0500Z at KPHL? - CORRECT ANSWER-Four statute
miles and 4,000 overcast
Use the accompanying winds and temperature aloft forecasts to determine the
forecast wind direction, velocity and air temperature at 9,000 feet MSL over
