General Weather


This just one for the sample exams of DLC (Distance Learning Course)

1: When its 0300 Zulu time, it is 0300Z everywhere in the world.
True
False
2: HIWAS is a continuous broadcast of in-flight weather advisories from:
the AFSS.
the ATCT.
radar controllers.
3: The international emergency frequency is:
the frequency you are on when you experience an emergency.
121.5Mhz
408 MHz.
4: Sectional and WAC charts are based on the:
Lambert Conformal Conic Projection
Rand McNally and Co. maps.
American Ephemeris and National Almanac.
5: The center of gravity is:
where the pilot sits.
the point where, if an imaginary finger lifted the airplane, it would balance both fore and aft.
a downwind vector reference the 5 forces of flight.
6: Longitudinal stability describes:
the pitching motion of an airplane.
the rolling moment of an airplane.
positive static stability.
7: Moving the CG rearward of the CG limit can lead to:
violent stalls and flat spins.
an excessive tail-down force to keep the nose up.
an inability to rotate on takeoff.
8: ATIS is a continuous broadcast of recorded non-control info.
Its purpose is to improve controller effectiveness and relieve frequency congestion.
It is good up to 60 NM and 25,000'.
Ceiling/sky condition, visibility, and obstructions to vision are omitted if the ceiling is above 5000' and vis is more than 5 mi.
All of the above are true.
9: The ICAO phonetic alphabet is used in aviation to spell out groups/letters or difficult words:
during adverse communication conditions.
because it's cool to use aviation slang and jargon.
it improves dispatcher effectiveness and reduces frequency congestion.
10: A seaplane base at night will display a rotating beacon that is yellow and white.
True,
False
11: The Mu meter provides a means of:
Measuring friction values on contaminated runways.
establishing numerical values for reports of 'good, fair, poor, or nil' on runway surfaces.
measuring stopping distances on dry runways.
12: For a standard 2-bar VASI, match the indications for LOW/ON GLIDESLOPE/HIGH:
Red / green / amber.
Steady red / steady white / flashing white.
Red over red / red over white / white over white.
13: TDZE is:
Touchdown Zone Elevation.
Takeoff Decision Elevation.
Temperature / Dewpoint Zone Error.
14: Weight X Arm equal Moments
True,
False.
15: LAHSO is:
a security program designed to catch terrorists on US airports.
n acronym for "Land & Hold Short Operation".
is mandatory where available.
16: Aircraft position lights are:
required to be ON from sunset to sunrise.
optional as long as the anti-collision light is ON.
mandated to be ON day or night.
17: ASOS/AWOS services via ATIS are updated:
every minute.
only by the tower controllers when there is a significant change.
only by the FSS.
18: For scheduled aircraft operating IFR, a flight plan must be submitted to ATC at least:
30 minutes prior to departure.
2 hours prior to departure.
4 hours prior to departure.
19: Civil aircraft in distress should begin their initial transmission:
with the words MAYDAY repeated 3 times.
with the words PAN repeated 3 times.
on 243.0 MHz.
20: Your night vision deteriorates at a cabin pressure as low as:
5000'
12000'
14.7 PSI or 29.92 inches of Hg.
