(Refer to Figure 12.) Which of the reporting stations have VFR weather?

Correct! Wrong!

What conditions are necessary for the formation of thunderstorms?

Correct! Wrong!

Clouds are divided into four families according to their

Correct! Wrong!

In which environment is aircraft structural ice most likely to have the highest accumulation rate?

Correct! Wrong!

Low-level turbulence can occur and icing can become hazardous in which type of fog?

Correct! Wrong!

(Refer to Figure 19.) Interpret the weather symbol depicted in Utah on the 12-hour Significant Weather Prognostic Chart.

Correct! Wrong!

What are the standard temperature and pressure values for sea level?

Correct! Wrong!

(Refer to Figure 269, area A.) Just southwest of Circle A what cloud layer is forecast to be over Lake Michigan?

Correct! Wrong!

Which weather phenomenon signals the beginning of the mature stage of a thunderstorm?

Correct! Wrong!

Steady precipitation preceding a front is an indication of

Correct! Wrong!

(Refer to Figure 269, area C.) What cloud layers are forecast in central New York?

Correct! Wrong!

When warm, moist, stable air flows upslope, it

Correct! Wrong!

(Refer to Figure 19.) How are Significant Weather Prognostic Charts best used by a pilot?

Correct! Wrong!

Which type of weather briefing should a pilot request to supplement mass disseminated data?

Correct! Wrong!

(Refer to Figure 19.) The enclosed shaded area associated with the low pressure system over northern Utah is forecast to have

Correct! Wrong!

What should pilots state when telephoning a weather briefing facility for preflight weather information?

Correct! Wrong!

(Refer to Figure 12.) What are the wind conditions at Wink, Texas (KINK)?

Correct! Wrong!

(Refer to Figure 262, area C.) The wind at Circle C is forecast to blow from which direction and at what velocity?

Correct! Wrong!

A nonfrontal, narrow band of active thunderstorms that often develop ahead of a cold front is a known as a

Correct! Wrong!

Squall lines are bands of severe thunderstorms that tend to develop ahead of fast-moving cold fronts. These squall lines often contain severe steady-state thunderstorms. This is the single most intense weather hazard for aircraft. Answer A is incorrect because a squall line is a specific type of a prefrontal system. Answer C is incorrect because a dry line is a front across which there is seldom any significant air mass contrast other than moisture content.
