✔✔If a pitot tube becomes blocked but the drain remains clear what will the Airspeed
indicator do? - ✔✔This is a partial block which will allow the dynamic pressure to slowly
leak out. In this case the ASI will decrease to 0
✔✔What will happen to the Airspeed indicator if the static port gets blocked? - ✔✔It will
under-read more and more as you climb and over read more and more as you descend.
✔✔What will happen to the altimeter if the static port gets blocked? - ✔✔It will freeze on
the last altitude before blockage
✔✔Where can you find the CRFI recommended value for a specific crosswind? -
✔✔Under that specific crosswind in the Chart titled Crosswind limits for CRFI
✔✔What is a trough and how is it depicted on a GFA? - ✔✔It is an elongated are of low
pressure and is shown as a single purple line.
✔✔What does a double purple line indicate on a GFA? - ✔✔an upper air trough.
✔✔What is the difference between a trowal and a trough and how is each depicted on a
GFA? - ✔✔A Trowal (or an occluded front) occurs when cold air catches up with warm
air. It is shown on the GFA as zipper cold and warm front. A trough is an elongated area
of low pressure. It is shown on the GFA as a single purple line.
✔✔You takeoff with and the field altimeter setting is 30.12. Along the route while level at
5,000 you check the AWOS at a nearby airport and it 30.02. What altitude are you
actually at? - ✔✔4,900
✔✔You takeoff with and the field altimeter setting is 29.80. Along the route while level at
5,000 you check the AWOS at a nearby airport and it 30.00. What altitude are you
actually at? - ✔✔5,200
✔✔Define dew point - ✔✔The temperature to which air must be cooled at a constant
pressure to becomes saturated.
✔✔How do you estimate the base height of a cloud using the dew point and
temperature? - ✔✔Temperature - Dew point (Dew point spread) x 400.
✔✔At what rate does saturated air cool and at what rate does dry air cool? -
✔✔Saturated=1.5 degrees/1000 feet
dry= 3 degrees/1000 feet
,✔✔Stratus clouds are known for what type of precipitation? - ✔✔Drizzle
✔✔If winds are veering, which direction are they shifting too? - ✔✔Clockwise
✔✔Typically during climb out what do the winds do? - ✔✔Veer and increase
✔✔What is the Air mass that usually occurs only in the winter time over Canada? -
✔✔continental Arctic (cA)
✔✔What is the Air mass that usually occurs only in the summer time over Canada? -
✔✔Maritime Tropical (mT)
✔✔What are the two air masses that are very rare for Canada? - ✔✔cP and cT.
✔✔Decode the following METAR: RMK SF5NS3 SLP134 - ✔✔Remarks:5 oktas Stratus
fractus 3 oktas Nimbostratus Sea level pressure: 1013.4 hPa
✔✔Decode the following METAR: RMK SN2SC6 SLP270 - ✔✔Remarks: 2 oktas
Stratus Nimbus 6 oktas stratus cumulus
Seal level pressure: 1027.0 hpa
✔✔How do you calculate the Freezing level within a cloud?
EG= Elevation 900 ft
Surface Temp = 24 c
Dew Point = 15 C - ✔✔1. First get the Cloud Base (Dew point Spread X 400)
1. Eg: 3,600 + 900 = 4500 ASL
2. Then get the "new dew point (DP- (.5x(cloud base/1000)
2. Eg: 15- (.5x (3,600/1000)= 13.2
3. New DP/1.5 X1,000
13.2/1.5X1,000
4. Add that to the Base plus Elevation = freezing level.
4 eg: 3,600 +8,800 =12,400 AGL + 900 = 13,300 ASL
Btw, this is Bullshit! As the saturated lapse rate is not very steady
✔✔In a METAR regarding RVR what do the following codes means? D, U, N -
✔✔Downward Trend, Upward Trend, No change.
✔✔In a METAR what minute average is taken for RVR? - ✔✔10 Minute Average
✔✔What is the following Barometric Pressure: SLP033 - ✔✔1003.3 hPa
✔✔What is the following Barometric Pressure: SLP833 - ✔✔983.3 hPA
, ✔✔What is the following Barometric Pressure: SLP751 - ✔✔975.1 hPA
✔✔What is the following Barometric Pressure: SLP145 - ✔✔1014.5
✔✔What is the True Airspeed Rule of Thumb under standard conditions? - ✔✔Add an
additional 2% of CAS for every thousand Feet to get TAS
✔✔For route planning should you use KIAS or KTAS to determine ground speed? -
✔✔KTAS
✔✔What is the difference between the MEA and the MOCA - ✔✔MEA is the Minimum
En route altitude which provides obstruction clearance as well as navigational signal
coverage. MOCA (minimum obstacle clearance altitude) provides Obstacle clearance
but only provides navigational signal for only 22 NM from a VOR
✔✔What is the frequency range for VORs - ✔✔108.0-117.95 MHz
✔✔What is the frequency range for voice transmissions within the Airband? - ✔✔118-
136.975 MHz
✔✔What must a pilot do to stay current? - ✔✔1. Every 6 months: Complete 5 takeoffs
and landings to carry passengers. If flying at Night, the TO/Landings must be at night as
well.
2. Every 2 years: Complete (one of the following); Flight Review, TC Aviation Seminar,
TC approved recurrent Training Program, Self paced study program, PPC.
3. Every 5 years: Fly as PIC or SIC at least once in a Category of AC for which you're
licensed.
