ATPL MET 03 of 2022
1. Ocean temperatures must be greater than 26°C for TRS formation
2. In the Northern Hemisphere a man observes a low pressure system passing him to the
south, from west to east. What wind will he experience - Constantly Backs
3. Where are you most likely to ind moderate to severe icing? NS
4. Clear ice - Very heavy and can afect aircrat controls and surfaces
5. At a stationary front: winds blow parallel to the isobars and front
6. Question on Sky is Clear
7. Which is likely to cause aquaplaning? +RA
8. Where is the 300 hPa level approx. in ISA? 30,000 feet
9. Aircrat with thick wing (T) and thin wing (S) ly at the same TAS and altitude through cloud
containing small super cooled water droplets. What extent of icing will be experienced? S
more, T less
10. Subsidence? Vertical down draught of air
11. Worst for icing? Size of droplet and temperature
12. Tropopause height at 15°N
13. With the approach of a warm front: QNH/QFE decreases
14. What is the efect of a strong low level inversion? Turbulence
15. Moderate turbulence: changes in altitude and/or attitude but the aircrat remains in positive
control at all times
16. Secondary depressions move: around the primary in a cyclonic fashion
17. In a shallow pressure distribution (widely spaced isobars or low pressure gradients) you
observe the aneroid altimeter of a parked aircrat for 10 minutes (no thunderstorms
observed). The reading of the instrument will: show no appreciable change due to such a
minor pressure fluctuation
18. Which clouds are evidence of stable air? St, As
19. QNH 1009.5 hpa will be reported in METAR as Q1009
20. Which of the following is an example of a Föhn wind? Chinook
21. From which of the following clouds are you least likely to get precipitation in summer? CS/
AS
22. Conditionally unstable conditions? 0.65°C/100 m
23. What is an important characteristic of wind shear? It may be associated with either a wind
shift or a windspeed gradient at any level in the atmosphere.
24. Which weather phenomenon signals the beginning of the mature stage of a thunderstorm?
The start of rain at the surface.
25. Which type of windshear is most destructive for an aircraft about to land? Along the flight
path.
26. Wind shear- It is an atmospheric condition associated with low level temperature inversion,
jet stream or a frontal zone
27. What is the approximate rate unsaturated air will cool flowing upslope? 3° per 1,000 feet.
