Continuing Education Atmosphere
The four forces acting on an airplane in flight are                                   .
  1. lift, weight, thrust, and drag
  2. lift, weight, gravity, and thrust
  3. lift, gravity, power, and friction
Continuing Education Atmosphere
What kind of weather can we expect from a cold front moving through?
  1. rapid drop in temperature and severe weather
  2. rapid drop in temperature and clear skies
  3. rapid increase in temperature and severe weather
Continuing Education Atmosphere
SIGMET's are issued as a warning of weather conditions hazardous to which aircraft?
  1. Small Aircraft Only
  2. Large Aircraft Only
  3. All Aircraft
Continuing Education Atmosphere
What is an Off Route Obstruction Clearance Altitude (OROCA)?
  1. The minimum altitude in each sector on a map to ensure obstruction and terrain clearance in that sector
  2. The minimum altitude in each sector on a map to ensure just terrain clearance in that sector
  3. The minimum altitude in each sector on a map to ensure obtruction and terrain clearance for the entire geographic region of the flight
Continuing Education Atmosphere
How does the hot air affect aircraft performance in both airplanes and helicopters?
  1. Hot air is less dense and therefore has less molecules in the air to create lift and propulsion
  2. hot air is more dense and therefore exerts more weight on the aircraft to overcome
  3. hot air makes the engines work harder so the engines overheat and create less power
Continuing Education Atmosphere
If a helicopter crew declares an emergency, what is the order of the first 3 basic emergency priorities the communication specialist can give the crew?
  1. Heading, Frequency, Altitude
  2. Frequency Altitude, Heading
  3. Altitude, Heading, Frequency
Continuing Education Atmosphere
Hot air is                                   , therefore, aircraft performance is decreased.
  1. Less dense
  2. more dense
  3. temperature doesn't affect density
Continuing Education Atmosphere
If the temperature/dewpoint spread is small and decreasing, what type weather is most likely to develop?
  1. Freezing precipitation
  2. Thunderstorms
  3. Fog or low clouds
Continuing Education Atmosphere
Which combination of atmospheric conditions will reduce aircraft takeoff and climb performance the most?
  1. Low temperature, low relative humidity, and low density altitude
  2. High temperature, low relative humidity, and low density altitude
  3. High temperature, high relative humidity, and high density altitude
Continuing Education Atmosphere
It is 30 degrees Celsius outside. What happens to my take off distance as the temperature decreases?
  1. Take off distance INCREASES.
  2. Take off distance DECREASES.
  3. Take off distance STAYS THE SAME.
Continuing Education Atmosphere

  2. Severe Icing at FL270
  3. Severe Turbulence from SFC - 10,000 feet
Continuing Education Atmosphere
An example of a SIGMET is                           .
  1. Severe Turbulence at FL230
  2. Moderate Icing at F230
  3. Mountain Obscuration
Continuing Education Atmosphere
What instrument approach is considered a precision approach?
