Revision > flight

exemple reponse 254
regarding overall mass movement air mass coming from ocean (the isobars in warm sector give an indication in direction of system until it occludes) a large body of air will have characteristics of its origin (the source region) particulary with regard to moisture temperature in that a mass of air can originate from tropical or polar regions (be warm or cold) or be maritime or polar (wet or dry).



The weather most likely to be experienced near to position 'A' is 336 ?

exemple reponse 255
The weather most likely to be experienced near to position 'a' 336 Frequent showers of rain snow good visibility outside precipitation. a cold front has passed over position 'a' few hours ago we are in cold sector (behind cold front) in weather pattern behind a cold front visibility outside precipitation good the precipitation showers.

For an aircraft making an approach to an airfield located in square 3B away from the vicinity of the fronts the most likely weather conditions in winter are 337 ?

exemple reponse 256
For an aircraft making an approach to an airfield located in square 3b away from vicinity of fronts most likely weather conditions in winter are 337 Poor visibility in mist drizzle. in summer we could expect scattered sc cu with good visibility in winter cloud base would remain low over land we gonna have poor visibility in mist drizzle.

  • exemple reponse 257
    For an aircraft making an approach to an airfield located in square 3b most likely weather conditions are 338 Poor visibility in mist drizzle. this the warm sector once warm front passes your location you will notice an increase in temperature air pressure as warm sector moves into your location you will notice an increase in humidity of air.

  • exemple reponse 258
    What flight conditions are most likely to be experienced in square 2b an aircraft at fl 120 337 Vmc above layers of st sc generally stable conditions. in middle of warm sector we would expect to experience typical tropical maritime conditions low stratus poor visibility drizzle at surface but at fl120 (without frontal lifting action) aircraft would be in clear stable air above cloud layers the magic drawing each question asking weather in square 2b offer four different possible answers in square 2b you can be in cb or above stratus (located in square 3b) in clear stable conditions you will not have a question with two answers available.
