• Turbulent air

• Showery precipitation

• Smooth air

If an unstable air mass is forced upward, what type of clouds can be expected?

• Stratus clouds with considerable associated turbulence.

• Clouds with considerable vertical development and associated turbulence.

• Stratus clouds with little vertical development.

What is the best way for a remote pilot to determine the likelihood of local fog formation?

• Monitor the temperature/ dew point spread.

• Monitor the wind conditions to insure the wind speed is not increasing.

• Monitor the barometric pressure to insure that it is not decreasing.

Which combination of atmospheric conditions will reduce aircraft takeoff and climb performance?

• Low temperature, low relative humidity, and low density altitude.

• High temperature, low relative humidity, and low density altitude.

• High temperature, high relative humidity, and high density altitude.

At what altitude does wind shear occur?

• Below 5,000 feet AGL

• Above 20,000 feet MSL

• At any altitude
