Study Notes
Radar Altitude
- Radar altitude is measured as Above Ground Level (AGL).
Thunderstorm Encounter
- If unable to avoid a thunderstorm, maintain current altitude and suitable power settings.
- Do not attempt to turn back during the encounter.
CDFA Approach with Temperature Variation
- Conducting a Constant Descent Final Approach (CDFA) using Barometric and LNAV systems can result in a shallower approach when the temperature decreases.
Surface Wind and Isobar Relationship
- The angle between surface wind and isobar is 0 degrees.
- At this angle, the wind speed is typically 30 knots.
GFA Flight Considerations
- During a cross-country flight with given General Forecast Areas (GFA), expect to encounter moderate to severe turbulence and moderate icing.
- Identifying moderate icing on the GFA may be challenging; pay attention to specific symbols.
Large Super Water Drops
- Large supercooled water drops may occur in conditions without an aloft freezing level.
- Avoid choices involving freezing levels or clear ice when selecting options related to supercooled water drops.
