1. Hydroplaning occurs most when,
a. When rudder used and nose wheel is not made to touch down early in the landing run.
b. On standing water, slush, high speed, smooth runway.
c. On any wet runway, brakes are not applied unless a wedge of water is formed ahead of
the tyre.
2. Air cooled to temperature where saturation occurs. Dew point.
3. Air mass in constant pressure and temperature moist air has less density or dry air.
4. Tropopause. -Max height for cloud development.
5. Tropause is highest. -Over equator and high temperature.
6. Stability of air is determined by. -Ambient lapse rate.
7. 500hpa equates to. -18,500ft.
8. Indication of warm front approaching. -Lowering cloud base.

10. TAF
11. METAR
12. Coriolis force in SH. causes air to move clockwise around a low.
13. Difference between low depression and tropical cyclone is. Pressure or wind.
14. Most TRS form in.

19. Stable air characteristics. Rises, slows down and dissipates.
20. How does mature stage of TS initiated. onset of precipitation.
21. In geostropic wind. coriolis force is balanced by PGF.
22. Gust front is formed due to.
a. Cool air downflow below TS.
b. Below TS.
23. Regarding SPECI which is not true. is issued when viz changes to 800m.
24. What standing clouds are formed due to mountain waves? standing lenticular.
25. What is observed when climbing or descending in an inversion or windshear. increase in
ROC and decrease in ROD.
26. Flying in severe turbulence. maintain level attitude.
27. You encounter CAT what would you do?

and 50E.
a. STJ.
b. Winds light and variable about 30kts.
c. Easterly winds.
32. When Flying in haze it is not easy to spot terrain and aircraft.
a. Eyes focus at infinity hence not possible.
