flight. It takes 30 minutes in total darkness to complete dark adaptation. Any bright light can return a
pilot to the beginning of the process.
Where does wind shear occur? - Answers At all altitudes, in all directions.
What causes variations in altimeter settings between weather reporting points? - Answers Unequal
heating of the Earth's surface
When flying in a VFR corridor designated through Class B airspace, the maximum speed authorized is -
Answers 200 knots
No person may operate an aircraft in formation flight - Answers except by prior arrangement with the
pilot in command of each aircraft.
