◉Prog Charts - Surface analysis . Answer: Shows the frontal systems
and such out 1 week ahead.
◉What WX report should you use to calculate climb info? . Answer:
◉What WX report should you use to calculate cruse info? . Answer:
◉What WX reports give winds in True? . Answer: Textual reports such
as winds aloft will give wind directions in true
◉What WX reports give winds in Magnetic? . Answer: Audible reports
such as an ASOS station give direction in magnetic
◉How is aloft weather info obtained? . Answer:
◉What is a METAR and how do you read it? . Answer: Meteorological
Terminal Aviation Routine.
,◉What is a TAF . Answer: Terminal Aerodrome Forecast
Valid 24 hour period and scheduled 4 times a day.
◉What is a Winds Aloft forecast? . Answer: F.D.
Provides an estimate of wind direction in relation to true north, wind
speed and temperature in Celsius for selected altitudes.
◉What does it mean if a winds aloft wind direction starts with 5,6,7,8,9?
. Answer: It means that the wind speed from the second two numbers is
more than 100, but is reflected in the first set of numbers (direction)
◉What weather would cause you to cancel a cross county flight? .
Answer: Look at PIREPS, AIRMETS and SIGMETS. Are there any on
my route? PIREPS will be the most accurate. If there are think about
canceling or changing the route. Then check METAR and TAF and see
what conditions are like at airports i'd change to.
◉PIREPS . Answer: File one- call a FSS
Filed by Pilots
Found on Av WX-observations-aircraft reports
or Given through flight briefing.
OR GFA tool has PIREP button!
,◉Weather Briefing . Answer: call FSS 1-800-wxbrief
Standard
Outlook
Abbreviated.
◉What cloud formations could be hazardous to the flight? Why? .
Answer: Any clouds because I'm not IFR trained or rated.
(cumilo-Nibus, convective, tornadoes etc lol)
◉What is the maximum demonstrated crosswind for your aircraft? .
Answer: 20 kts
◉What speed is indicated in aircraft? . Answer: Indicated airspeed
◉How should you cross a mountain ridge in windy conditions? Why? .
Answer: With plenty of altitude. At least 1000 ft AGL above highest
peak altitude. The Windward side will have updrafts the Leeward side
will have dangerous downdrafts. Consider this when crossing.
◉What is the maximum demonstrated crosswind for your aircraft? .
Answer: 20 kts
◉Can you operate the aircraft above its maximum demonstrated
crosswind? . Answer: Yes its possible, but it is only proven to be able to
, handle to 20kts or under. It would be done at your own risk and your
own license on the line at that point.
◉What would you do if the winds picked up while on solo cross
country? . Answer: check airports within 25 miles to see if weather is
better there. If not call instructor and ask for permission to fly to a
milder airport if fuel allows.
◉What would you do if visibility dropped while you are on a solo cross
country flight? . Answer: Land right away.
◉What is the maximum speed for your aircraft in turbulent air? .
Answer: 133
◉What should you do if the winds are gusting on an approach? .
Answer: Take the difference between the wind and the gust. divide is in
half and add that number to your airspeed.
◉How can you detect a micoburst? . Answer: Change in performance
without change in pitch or power. Sometimes can be seen.
◉What is Wind sheer? . Answer: Sudden drastic change in wind speed
and/or direction and can exist at any altitude and may occur in all
directions.
