flying at 4000 feet what do you do?

You are on a flight that is 2 hours including a climb of 20 minutes. You are given fuel burns for a climb, cruise, and a
hold. You are night VFR. Asks you to calculate the the total fuel required.

possible is to?
You are in the jetstream and the temperature is dropping.. the best way to avoice turbulence is to?

Question about Thunderstorm detection while in cloud w/ precip. Is it harder to detect t-storms?
Given an accelerate go chart. find the max allowable take out weight.

9. what will occur? Or something close to this.
CRM is good because? Answer was it allows input from all crew members
An effective captain does, and there was 5 things and you had to pick 3. Answers were like "recognizes reduced
effectiveness of crew under stress" and "takes input from all crew members"
Question about reading the Jet Stream on an upper level anal chart. What height and what turb was associated with it.
Calculate the true wind direction when you are given Mag heading, track, GS,Variation.
When is your True Altitude lower than Indicated. Answers were like "temp is lower than ISA", "temp is higher than
ISA", "pressure is the same as ISA"
A couple compare TAF to actual METAR reports and say if the system is moving faster / slower than fore casted.
If you find yourself strongly disagree with the Capt, how do you approach the situation? Answer was to overcome
shyness to question, ask for clarification, and state your viewpoint.
How does airborn weather radar detech thnderstorm and lightning while you are in cloud
SAR/SGR Q to find SGR Groundspeed is required but they dont give you winds but wind factor of -50 or -80 << i didnt
know what to do -- give is TAS, Flight level, fuel flow .
Clear ice rather than rime ice is most likly to occur in : high catch, large droplets
You fly from 30.12 '' to 29.92 '' FL220 .. what would happen if u change the setting to 29.92 after levelling off @ FL220
and u have encoding altimeter ...
When is indicated altitude lower then actual: high pressure to low pressure
Calculate TAS
Overlays and Stand Alone - no traditional needed, and traditional can be out of service.
Maximum MTOW question - have to do chart from 2 ways, and find answer in the middle.
No pilot shall take off in conditions where blah blah could form - unless the A/C is inspected for contamination
True Altitude in Mountain conditions, temperature drops sharply - Indicated higher or True
Altitude higher question.
Calculate SGR
Viscous Hydroplaning
Fuel requirements question - night VFR.(45min) they b-s you with "plus time to hold"
EPR - definition
Wake turbulence question - become airborne before the point the jet did, stay above flightpath
Vortex generators
Worst wing tip vorticies experianced from heavy slow moving aircraft in the clean configuration.
Wake Turbulence after preceding aircraft, become airborne before the point of rotation and stay above there glidepath.
Calculate TAS
GPS and Overlay approaches, choose 2 that apply answer was B+C
Class A Airspace
Class B Airspace
Class C Airspace
High on final with high airspeed, how to slow the airplane down the best? Touch down as soon as possible and use
maximum braking.
Compressor stall on a jet engine? Caused by excessive angle of attack on the compressor blades.
Isotachs spaced closely together on 250 hpa chart you can expect? Sufficient horizontal wind shear for the occurance
of CAT.
When are you most likely to encounter CFIT? When you get below DH or MDA
Reversing in flight? Fine pitch stop or low pitch stop both are mentioned together, this is the answer.
Weather radar? Water droplet size.
Flight in -20, landind at +10 airport, what happens? Frost forms around the fuel tanks.
VFR flight fuel? They include PPH for a hold but you don't need it so don't falll for it.
Which part of an airplane do you de-ice first? I got it wrong, choices are fuselage, tailplane engine inlets or something
as viewed by the pilot? Look this one up.
EPR Definition.
CRM question.
LAHSO? When given this clearance it is the pilots responsibility to hold short of the position given and the instruction
must be read back.
Describe a Volmet
For flights above a certain altitude crew members need training on hypoxia...
Given a weather chart and asked to find max speed of jet stream and altitude/severity of CAT in the vicinity
Given upper weather chart and asked what wind speed over an airport is ( just read the barbs!)
Which condition would Clear Ice form best in (High Rate of Catch , Large drops etc. )
When is Indicated Altitude LOWER than true? Options were air warmer than standard/cooler than standard/flying high
to low press/press. Higher than ICAO standard
Difference between Vra and Vb (obvious answer because its the only one that mentions gust)
When reading checklist and youre interrupted, the best way to avoid missing items is to (I put read the rest silently to
yourself while the other CM handles the distraction but thats wrong I guess)
What is dynamic hydroplaning ( I mixed it up with reverted-rubber hydroplaning its the one
A pilot on a VFR flight plan must revise eta if entering the ADIZ when/where?
