route forecasts. - Correct Answer: A. continuous recording of meteorological
and/or aeronautical information available by telephone.
Answer (A) is correct. Telephone Information Briefing Service (TIBS) is provided by
automated FSSs and provides continuous telephone recordings of meteorological
,and/or aeronautical information. Specifically, TIBS provides area and/or route
briefings, airspace procedures, and special announcements, if applicable,
concerning aviation interests.
3. The Hazardous Inflight Weather Advisory Service (HIWAS) is a broadcast service
over selected VORs that provides
A. continuous broadcast of inflight weather advisories.
B. SIGMETs and AIRMETs at 15 minutes and 45 minutes past the hour for the first
hour after issuance
C. SIGMETS, CONVECTIVE SIGMETs and AIRMETs at 15 minutes and 45 minutes
past the hour. - Correct Answer: A. continuous broadcast of inflight weather
advisories.
Answer (A) is correct. The Hazardous Inflight Weather Advisory Service (HIWAS) is
a continuous broadcast service over selected VORs of in-flight weather advisories;
i.e., SIGMETs, convective SIGMETS, AIRMETs, severe weather forecast alerts
(AWW), and center weather advisories (CWA).
4. En route Flight Advisory Service (EFAS) is a service that provides en route
aircraft with timely and meaningful weather advisories pertinent to the type of
flight intended, route, and altitude. This information is received by
A. contacting flight watch, using the name of the ARTCC facility identification in
your area, your aircraft identification, and name of nearest VOR, on 122.0 MHz
below 17,500 feet MSL.
B. listening to en route VORs at 15 and 45 minutes past the hour.
C. contacting the AFSS facility in your area, using your airplane identification, and
the name of the nearest VOR. - Correct Answer: A. contacting flight watch,
, using the name of the ARTCC facility identification in your area, your aircraft
identification, and name of nearest VOR, on 122.0 MHz below 17,500 feet MSL.
5. During preflight preparation, weather report forecasts which are not routinely
available at the local service outlet (AFSS) can best be obtained by means of
contacting
A. air route traffic control center.
B. pilot's automatic telephone answering service.
C. weather forecast office (WFO). - Correct Answer: C. weather forecast office
(WFO).
6. To obtain a continuous transcribed weather briefing including winds aloft and
route forecasts for a cross-country flight, a pilot could monitor

B. a TWEB on a low-frequency and/or VOR receiver.
C. a high-frequency radio receiver tuned to En Route Flight Advisory Service. -
Correct Answer: B. a TWEB on a low-frequency and/or VOR receiver.
7. Weather Advisory Broadcasts, including Severe Weather Forecast Alerts (AWW),
Convective SIGMETs, and SIGMETs, are provided by
A. AFSSs on 122.2 MHz and adjacent VORs, when any part of the area described is
within 200 miles of the airspace under their jurisdiction.
B. ARTCCs on all frequencies, except emergency, when any part of the area
described is within 150 miles of the airspace under their jurisdiction.
