What is a characteristic of jet streams?
Give this one a try later!
Their locations change, and in North America, they are normally weaker
and farther north in the summer.
What are the considerations for using airborne weather equipment on an IFR flight?
Give this one a try later!
When using airborne weather radar, avoid intense radar echoes by at least
20 miles and do not fly between them if they are less than 40 miles apart.
,What winds and temperatures would you expect to encounter on a flight from Seattle
to Las Vegas at approximately 10,000 feet MSL?
Give this one a try later!
Right quartering headwinds on most of the flight, with southwest winds at
Seattle at 25 knots and a temperature of one degree Celsius
What three information sources can help you avoid wind shear?
Give this one a try later!
PIREPS, LLWAS, in-flight visual indications
You check your communications equipment and suspect that your transmitter is
inoperative. How do you alert ATC of the failure?
Give this one a try later!
Attempt to reestablish communication by contacting ATC on a previously
assigned frequency or calling an FSS. Listen for ATC instructions on any
operational receiver.
During a long IFR cross-country you engage the autopilot at times to maintain your
altitude and course while you complete checklists and set frequencies, but you fly
instrument procedures manually. You use the moving map display and traffic features
of your avionics to enhance your situational awareness.
What equipment operating level are you using during this flight?
,Give this one a try later!
Level 2
Turbulence, lightning, and rain are some of the obvious hazards associated with
thunderstorms. What are other weather hazards associated with thunderstorms?
Give this one a try later!
Wind shear
Microbursts
Gusty surface winds
Hail
Funnel clouds, tornadoes, and waterspouts
Icing
You are on a cross-country under IFR and an event occurs that requires you to make a
decision.
What is an example of the first step in the ADM process?
Give this one a try later!
Recognize a change. You identify an unexpected increase in fuel burn
when you perform the 5P Check an hour into the flight.
What convective weather would you expect to encounter if flying from Panama City
to Tallahassee, Florida?
Give this one a try later!
, Moderate to heavy (40-50 dBZ) precipitation moving onshore and toward
Tallahassee
When does the weather forecast at your alternate need to be at least 800 feet and
two miles visibility so you can make a nonprecision approach?

At the estimated time of arrival
In a microburst encounter, between which positions will the aircraft experience the
most adverse condition?
Give this one a try later!
3 and 4
You notice an abnormal reading on an engine gauge.
After recognizing this change, what is the next step you should take in the ADM
process to manage this situation?
Give this one a try later!
Define the problem. You use your experience, other systems indications,
and the POH to determine the exact nature of the problem.
