ANSWERS UPDATED (2024/2025)
(VERIFIED ANSWERS)
The presence of ice pellets at the surface is evidence that there - ANS ✓is a
temperature inversion with freezing rain at a higher altitude
One in-flight condition necessary for structural icing to form is - ANS
✓Visible moisture
A temperature inversion most likely would result in what weather
condition - ANS ✓An increase in temperature as altitude is increased
The most frequent type of ground/surface based temp inversion is that
which is produced by - ANS ✓Terrestrial radiation on a clear, relatively still
night
Which weather conditions should be expected beneath a low-level
temperature inversion layer when the relative humidity is high? - ANS
✓Smooth air, poor viz, fog, haze, or low clouds
What feature is associated with a temperature inversion? - ANS ✓A stable
layer of air
A pilot can expect a wind shear zone in a temp inversion whenever the
windspeed at 2,000-4,000 ft AGL is at least - ANS ✓25 knots

What type of fog depend upon wind in order to exist? - ANS ✓Advection and
upslope fog
Low-level turbulence can occur and icing can become hazardous in which
type of fog? - ANS ✓Steam fog
What clouds have the greatest turbulence? - ANS ✓Cumulonimbus
The conditions necessary for the formation of cumulonimbus clouds are a
lifting action and - ANS ✓unstable, moist air
What conditions are necessary for the formation of thunderstorms? - ANS
✓High humidity, lifting force, and unstable conditions
A non-frontal, narrow band of active thunderstorms that often develop
ahead of a cold front are called a - ANS ✓Squall line
If there is thunderstorm activity in the vicinity of an airport at which you
plan to land, which hazardous atmospheric phenomenon might be expected
on the landing approach? - ANS ✓Wind-shear turbulence
Cumulonimbus mama clouds are associated with - ANS ✓Violent
thunderstorms and tornadoes
To determine the freezing level and areas of probable icing aloft, the pilot
should refer to the - ANS ✓Inflight Aviation Weather Advisories
What is indicated when a current CONVECTIVE SIGMET forecasts
thunderstorms? - ANS ✓Thunderstorms obscured by a massive cloud layer
What info is contained in a CONVECTIVE SIGMET - ANS ✓Tornadoes,
embedded thunderstorms, and hail 3/4 inch or greater in diameter

SIGMETs are issued as a warning of weather conditions hazardous to which
aircraft? - ANS ✓All aircraft
Which in-flight weather advisory would contain information on severe
icing not associated with thunderstorms? - ANS ✓SIGMET
AIRMET's are advisories of significant weather phenomena but of lower
intensities than SIGMET's and are intended for dissemination to - ANS ✓All
pilots
An almond or lens-shaped cloud which appears stationary, but which may
contain winds of 50 knots or more, is referred to as - ANS ✓A lenticular cloud
Crests of standing mountain waves may be marked by stationary, lens-
shaped clouds known as - ANS ✓Standing lenticular clouds
Possible mountain wave turbulence could be anticipated when winds of 40
knots or greater blow - ANS ✓Across a mountain ridge, and the air is stable
Where dies wind shear occur - ANS ✓At all altitudes, in all directions
When may hazardous wind shear be expected? - ANS ✓In areas of low level
temperature inversion, frontal zones, and clear air turbulence
What is the relationship between lift, drag, thrust, and weight - ANS
✓Lift=Weight, Thrust=Drag
Bernoulli's Principle - ANS ✓Air traveling faster over the curved upper surface
of an airfoil causes lower pressure on the top surface
Angle of Attack is the angle between - ANS ✓The chord line and relative wind
