Weather part 2

(Refer to Figure 12.) What are current conditions at Boise Airport (KBOI)?

• Winds out of the southeast at 4 knots, scattered clouds at 15,000 feet.

• Variable winds, scattered clouds at 1500 feet.

• Winds out of the north at 4 knots, scattered clouds at 1500 feet.

(Refer to figure 15.) What conditions are expected at Will Rogers World Airport (KOKC) on the 5th at 1600Z? 

• Winds out of the southeast at 8 knots, mist.

• Winds out of the south at 10 knots, clear.

• Winds out of the south at 20 knots, showers.

How do ground-based obstructions, like skyscrapers or tall trees, impact wind behavior for aviators?

• They stabilize wind flow.

• They produce gusts that vary in speed and direction.

• They always cause a decrease in wind speed.

A stable air mass is most likely to have which characteristic?

• Poor surface visibility

• Turbulent air

• Showery precipitation

Every physical process of weather is accompanied by, or is the result of, a

• movement of air.

• pressure differential.

• heat exchange.

What cloud types would indicate convective turbulence?

• Cirrus clouds.

• Nimbostratus clouds.

• Towering cumulus clouds.

You have received an outlook briefing from flight service through 1800wxbrief.com. The briefing indicates you can expect a low-level temperature inversion with high relative humidity. What weather conditions would you expect?

• Light wind shear, poor visibility, haze, and light rain.

• Turbulent air, poor visibility, fog, low stratus type clouds, and showery precipitation.

• Smooth air, poor visibility, fog, haze, or low clouds.

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.

If there is thunderstorm activity in the vicinity of an airport at which you plan to land, which hazardous atmospheric phenomenon might be expected during recovery/landing of the sUAS?

• Precipitation static.

• Wind-shear turbulence.

• Steady rain.
