Study Notes
Aviation Quiz Study Notes
- VV003: Indicates a ceiling of 300 feet obscured.
- Temperature above Tropopause: Remains constant as altitude increases; no temperature change noted.
- PSR Measurement: Measures azimuth only; cannot provide altitude information.
- Turbulence and Icing: As indicated in the GFA (Graphical Flight Analysis), both turbulence and icing conditions are likely to increase.
- Relative Humidity and Dew Point Relationship: Dew point is a more reliable indicator of moisture; it is always higher than relative humidity.
- Radar Altimeter Function: Measures height above ground level (AGL), determining the altitude between the aircraft and obstacles.
- GPS/WAAS Usage: For LNAV (Lateral Navigation) approaches, utilize Barometric Vertical Navigation (BARO) and Vertical Navigation (VNAV) capabilities.
- LCL Definition: Refers to 'Spatial Coverage' which is considered to be 25% or less.
- Icing Conditions in GFA: Moderate mixed icing expected in altitudes between 5000 to 16000 feet.
- Heating in Saturated Air: Follow the dry lapse rate when air is saturated.
- AIR RANGE and GROUND RANGE Calculation: Use the formula involving f1350 and SGR (Specific Ground Range) of 0.17; essential to know the specific formula.
- Mach Meter Definition: Ratio comparing True Airspeed (TAS) of the aircraft to the speed of sound in the local environment.
- Adiabatic Process: Involves both expansion and compression, significant in thermodynamics related to air parcels.
