Study Notes
GPS Warnings
- Upon receiving a GPS warning, follow all recommended actions to ensure safety.
Weather Conditions for Flight
- When flying from CYHZ to CYQI, expect:
- Isolated TCU (Turbulent Cumulus) clouds during takeoff.
- A patchy ceiling at 1500 feet during approach.
Radiation Fog
- Radiation fog thickens under calm wind conditions.
- Windy conditions typically disperse fog, leading to thinner occurrences.
Weather Phenomena Encounter during Descent
- Descending through snow pellets may lead to encountering:
- Freezing rain and severe icing conditions upon arrival.
Stable Warm Fronts and Precipitation
- Continuous rain can shift to rain showers when unstable warm air moves in.
Temperature Changes with Cold Front Approaches
- Following a cold front passage:
- Expect an increase in temperature shortly after.
- Subsequent decrease in temperature as front stabilizes.
