If you are flying from Zurich to London at FL 220, what conditions can you expect at cruising altitude?

Prolonged severe turbulence and icing throughout the flight

CAT for the first half of the flight

Scattered thunderstorms

Flight largely in cloud; no turbulence

How are well separated CB clouds described on the Significant Weather Chart?

ISOL CB

FREQ CB

OCNL CB

EMBD CB

If a saturated air mass descends down a slope its temperature increases at:

A higher rate than in dry air, as it gives up latent evaporation heat

A lower rate than in dry air, as condensation gives out heat

The same rate as if the air mass were dry

A lower rate than in dry air, as evaporation absorbs heat

In a low pressure system the convergence at the surface is caused by...

centripetal forces

frictional forces

the imbalance of the horizontal gradient force and the Coriolis force

the curvature of the isobars

The DALR is greater than the SALR because...

None is correct

saturated vapour pressure increases with increasing temperature

the rate of cooling of saturated air is reduced by the release of latent heat of condensation

of the release of latent heat of evaporation

A Foehn wind occurs on the...

Windward side of a mountain range and is caused by surface heating

Leeward side of a mountain range and is caused by significant moisture loss by precipitation from cloud

Leeward side of a mountain range and is caused by the condensation level being lower on the leeward side than on the windward side

Windward side of a mountain range and is caused by surface cooling and reverse air flow

What will be the effect on the reading of an altimeter of an aeroplane parked on the ground shortly before an active cold front passes?

be increasing

fluctuate up and down by about +/- 50 feet

remain unchanged

be decreasing

You have to make an emergency landing on water (MSL). From a neighbouring airfield (elevation 2000 ft) you receive a meteorological report: QNH = 1030 hPa, temperature = 25°C. What QNH-altitude is indicated after landing?

0 ft

less than 0 ft

more than 0 ft

How may the correct wind speed be found, for a level which is between two upper air chart levels?

By reading wind direction and speed from the next higher chart

By interpolation of the wind information available from the two charts, while also considering the maximum wind information found on the Significant Weather Chart

By simple interpolation of wind information available from the two charts

By reading wind direction and speed from the 300 hPa chart

The diameter of a typical tornado is...

About 2 to 6 km

In the order of 10 km

Only a few metres

100 to 150 metres

Which of the following statements is an interpretation of the METAR 00000KT 0200 R14/0800U R16/P1500U FZFG VV001 M03/M03 Q1022 BECMG 8000?

RVR for runway 14 800 metres, vertical visibility 100 ft, calm, meteorological visibility improving to 8000 metres in the next 2 hours

Meteorological visibility 200 ft, RVR for runway 16 more than 1500 metres, vertical visibility 100 ft, fog with hoar frost

Meteorological visibility for runway 14 800 metres, fog with hoar frost, RVR for runway 16 more than 1500 metres

Meteorological visibility 200 metres, RVR for runway 16 1500 metres, temperature -3°C, vertical visibility 100 metres

In what hPa range is an upper weather chart for FL 340 situated?

400 - 300 hPa

500 - 400 hPa

600 - 500 hPa

300 - 200 hPa

The weather is clear and the temperature decreases rapidly as you climb (≈3°C/1000 ft). What does that indicate?

Unstable air

Sublimation

Stable air

Saturation

You are flying with an outside air temperature of -12°C and a TAS of 250 kt at FL150 through 8 oktas NS. What type and degree of icing is most probable?

In clouds pushed up against the mountains, moderate to severe rime ice

Over flat terrain, moderate hoar frost

In clouds pushed up against the mountains, moderate to severe mixed ice

Over flat terrain, away from fronts, moderate to severe mixed ice

When do cold occlusions occur most frequently in Europe?

Winter

Summer

Autumn and winter

Winter and spring

A gustfront is...

Characterized by heavy lightning

Another name for a cold front

Formed by the cold air outflow from a thunderstorm

Normally encountered directly below a thunderstorm

8/8 stratus base 200 ft/AGL is observed at sunrise at an aerodrome in the north of France; the QNH is 1028 hPa and there is a variable wind of 3 kt. What change in these clouds is likely at 12:00 UTC in summer and winter?

Winter: BKN base 2’500 ft/AGL; summer BKN base 3’500 ft/AGL

Winter: clear sky; summer BKN CB base 1’500 ft/AGL

Winter: OVC base 500 ft/AGL; summer SCT base 3’000 ft/AGL

Winter: SCT base 3’000 ft/AGL; summer OVC base 500 ft/AGL
