Study Notes
Mode A/C Interrogations
- Activation occurs through an inter-mode interrogation sequence.
Wind Shear and IAS
- Encountering wind shear at low altitude results in increasing IAS due to headwind and decreasing IAS due to tailwind.
TCAS Types
- Type 1 TCAS: Provides traffic information only, no advisories.
- Type 2 TCAS: Offers traffic information and advisories for vertical maneuvers only.
- Type 3 TCAS: Delivers comprehensive traffic information and advisories for both vertical and horizontal maneuvers.
Clear Ice Temperature Range
- Clear ice typically forms at temperatures ranging from 0 to 10 degrees Celsius, with severe conditions allowing formation up to 0 to 25 degrees Celsius.
Fog Cooling Process
- Fog cooling on a clear night occurs due to radiation cooling as it contacts the earth's surface.
CAT and Jet Stream Inquiry
- A question regarding Clear Air Turbulence (CAT) in relation to the jet stream requires selecting two options from a list of four possible choices.
