Answer:

frost may prevent the aircraft from becoming airborne at normal takeoff speeds.Question 2: if there is thunderstorm activity in the vicinity of an airport at which you plan to land, which hazardous atmospheric phenomenon might be expected on the landing approach ?

Answer:

wind- shear turbulence Question 3: one of the most easily recognized discontinuities across the front is

Answer:

a change in temperature.

Question 4: what condition are necessary for the formation of thunderstorms?

Answer:

high humidity, lifting force, and unstable condition.

Question 5: the wind at 5,000 feet AGL is Southwesterly while the surface wind is southerly, the difference in direction is primarily due to

Answer:

friction between the wind and the surface.Question 6: what causes variations in altimeter settings between weather report points?

Answer:

unequal heating of the Earth's surface.Question 7: every physical process of weather is accompanied by,or is the result of,a

Answer:

heat exchange.Question 8: How will frost on the wings of an airplane affect takeoff performance?

Answer:

frost will disrupt the smooth flow of air over the wings, adversely affecting its lifting capacity.Question 9: Which weather phenomenon signals the beginning of the mature stage of a thunderstorm?

Answer:

precipitation beginning to fall Question 10: during the life cycle of a thunderstorm, which stage is characterize predominantly by downdrafts?

Answer:

dissipating.Question 11: one weather phenomenon which will always occur when flying across a front is a change in the

Answer:

wind direction.

Question 12: Why is frost considered hazardous to flight?

Answer:

frost spoils the smooth flow of air over the wings, thereby decreasing lifting capacity.

Question 13: Which weather phenomenon is always associated with a thunderstorm?

Answer:

lightning.

Question 14: the boundary between tow different air masses is referred to as a

Answer:

front Question 15: what feature is normally associated with the cumulus stage of the thunderstorm?

Answer:

continuous updraft.Question 16: Thunderstorms which generally produce the most intense hazard to aircraft are

Answer:

squall line thunderstorms.

Question 17: thunderstorms reach their greatest intensity during the

Answer:

mature stage.Question 18: a non frontal narrow band of active thunderstorms that often develop ahead of a cold front is known as a

Answer:

squall line.Question 19: convective circulation patterns associated with sea breezes are caused by

Answer:

cool dance air moving in land from over the water.
