USCG CERTIFICATION EVALUATION
2026 PRACTICE SOLUTION TESTED.
⫸ 1272. Clouds, fog, or dew will always form when. Ans- water vapor
condenses.
( As water vapor condenses or sublimates on condensation nuclei, liquid
or ice particles begin to grow. Some condensation nuclei have an affinity
for water and can induce condensation or sublimation even when air is
almost, but not completely, saturated. )
⫸ 1140. While operating around buildings, the remote PIC should be
aware of the creation of wind gusts that.... Ans- Change rapidly
indirection and speed causing turbulence.
(Local conditions, geological features, and other anomalies can change
the wind direction and speed close to the Earth's surface, making it
difficult to control and maneuver the sUAS.)
⫸ 1141. A strong steady wind exists out of the north, You need to
photograph an area to the south of your location. You are located an
open field with no obstructions. Which of the following is not a concern
during this operation?. Ans- Turbulent conditions will likely be a
significant factor during the operation.
, (unmanned aircraft often have limited performance and therefore in
high wind conditions, it may consume more power to maintain position
or other maneuvers than in calm air. If the wind is strong enough, the
sUAS's performance might not be able to adequately counter the wind,
making it difficult or impossible to fly back to you for recovery.)
⫸ 1278. Wind shear can exist. Ans- In all altitudes
( wind shear is a sudden, drastic change in wind speed and/or direction
over a very small area. Wind shear can subject an aircraft to violent
updrafts and downdrafts, as well as abrupt changes to the horizontal
movement of the aircraft. While wind shear can occur at any altitude,
low-level wind shear is especially hazardous due to the proximity of an
aircraft to the ground.)
⫸ 1142. One of the most easily recognized discontinuities across a front
is.... Ans- a change in temperature
(Temperature is one of the most easily recognized discontinuities across
a front.)
⫸ 1143. One weather phenomenon which will always occur when flying
across a front is a change in the. Ans- Wind direction
(Wind direction always changes across a front)
, ⫸ 1144. Which type of weather phenomenon that may concern a remote
pilot is common among cold fronts?. Ans- Thunderstorms and heavy
rain.
(Thunderstorms and heavy rain are common, although not always,
associated with cold fronts.)
⫸ 1286. What weather provides the best flying conditions?. Ans- Cool,
dry air.
(The combination of moisture and temperature determine the stability of
the air and the resulting weather. Cool, dry air is very stable and resists
vertical movement, which leads to good and generally clear weather. )
⫸ 1277. The zone between different temperature, humidity, and wind is
called. Ans- A front
(The zone between two different air masses is a frontal zone or front.
Across this zone, temperature, humidity and wind often change rapidly
over short distances.)
⫸ 1145. A stable air mass is most likely to have which characteristic?.
Ans- Poor surface visibility
