Aviation Meteorology Block 3 Exam with correct answers 100% 2025/2026 What are the hazards of turbulence? - Correct Answer - Loss of control - Airframe Damage - Passenger comfort/safety How many average injuries occur from turbulence per year? - Correct Answer 58 How long does turbulence that occurs on a macroscale occur for? - Correct Answer Weeks How long does turbulence that occurs on a microscale occur for? - Correct Answer Minutes What are the two types of turbulent flow? - Correct Answer Waves : the regular oscillation of wind Eddies : vortices embedded in the mean wind flow What is an aircrafts flight or limit load factor? - Correct Answer The highest load factor that can be experienced in normal operations. Aircraft are designed to withstand these load factors without structural damage. What factors affect load factor in turbulence? - Correct Answer - Gusts - Airspeed - Wing loading What is wing loading? - Correct Answer The ratio of weight of the aircraft to the wing surface area What is eddy dissipation rate?? - Correct Answer The measure of the turbulent state of the atmosphere. It is the scale of the rate at which energy dissipates in the atmosphere. It is aircraft independent. What is convective turbulence? - Correct Answer Turbulence that results from rising currents of air What are the types of convection? - Correct Answer Forced - air becomes unstable after it is forced to rise Free - air rises because it is initially unstable Dry - rising air remains unsaturat
