When flying in mountainous terrain and assuming isa temperatures and strong ? [ MCQ aircraft ]

Question 152-1 : In case of venturi effect the actual altitude of the aircraft is lower than the indicated altitude in case of adiabatic compression of the air the temperature is lower than indicated in case of combined effect of surface friction and adiabatic compression of the air the dynamic pressure is lower than indicated by the altimeter in case of venturi effect the indicated altitude of the aircraft is lower than the actual altitude

With strong winds the mountainous terrain will acts like a wing .you will have a reduced pressure over a hill it acts like a cambered aerofoil in case of venturi effect .in this area of reduced pressure the altimeter will over read it sence a lower pressure it reads a higher altitude than it should . 641.venturi effect static pressure decreased compared to original exemple 252 In case of venturi effect, the actual altitude of the aircraft is lower than the indicated altitude.In case of venturi effect, the actual altitude of the aircraft is lower than the indicated altitude.

exemple 256 Moderate.Moderate.

Two aircraft are flying simultaneously in level flight at different flight ?

Question 152-3 : Vertical wind shear only vertical and horizontal wind shear horizontal wind shear only no wind shear since the absolute value of the difference in wind velocity per height unit is too small to fit the definition of wind shear at all

Admin . 643.vertical shear is the change of winds with height exemple 260 Vertical wind shear only.Vertical wind shear only.

What is the best way in dealing with thunderstorms associated with a cold front ?

Question 152-4 : Avoidance of embedded cbs by using airborne weather radar flying through the front with maximum speed and perpendicular to the front line in order to minimize the time of hazard exposure flying underneath the cloud base in all cases flying through the upper third of the clouds to prevent the aircraft from being struck by lightning

During flight the headwind increases suddenly due to wind shear what initial ?

Question 152-7 : Without the pilot's intervention the aircraft is likely to fly above the designated glide path with increasing deviation from it without the pilot's intervention the aircraft is likely to fly below the designated glide path with increasing deviation from it a deviation from the glide path will not have to be considered since there is no significant wind shear to be expected without the pilot's intervention the aircraft is likely to fly below the designated glide path with decreasing deviation from it

Admin .take care this question is the opposite to an other one which states its speed is increasing rapidly with height .the wind is blowing parallel to the runway it's a headwind .you are descending into a decreasing headwind wind shear and with constant aispeed and angle of attack this will give an increasing ground speed you normally have to increase the rate of descent in order to maintain the glide slope but without intervention you will maintain a rate of descent for a lower ground speed this will result to fly above the designated glide path with increasing deviation from it since the question states is decreasing rapidly with height exemple 276 Without the pilot's intervention, the aircraft is likely to fly above the designated glide path with increasing deviation from it.Without the pilot's intervention, the aircraft is likely to fly above the designated glide path with increasing deviation from it.
