    Study Notes

    Weather and Flight Operations

    • GFA indicates lowest low-pressure location at 1800Z, positioned east of CYDB.
    • METAR reveals cloud coverage: few clouds at 170, broken at 190, overcast at 250; indicates 5/8 to 8/8 of the ground concealed by clouds for an aircraft flying at FL220.
    • Strong winds at an airport in a deep valley attributed to the funnel effect.
    • If LNAV/VNAV is unusable according to WAAS NOTAM, approach is still feasible with LNAV and barometer onboard.

    Aircraft Safety and Procedures

    • Radar altitude is associated with Ground Proximity Warning System (GPWS).
    • Hydroplaning risk on runway with standing water equivalent to CRF 10.3.
    • Encountering thunderstorms (TS) requires maintaining altitude and power without attempting a turn back.

    Aviation Terms and Acronyms

    • NC in SIGMET stands for "no change."
    • PIREP indicates strong tailwind during descent for a specific airport.
    • Keywords related to WAAS include LPV (Localizer Performance with Vertical guidance).

    Aircraft Systems

    • Aircraft lightning detection systems can identify various conditions, including static charge behind mountains; be cautious about selecting misleading options in assessments.
