Audio tones

25
Q

cA move to great lake, what will form ?

A

Steam fog

26
Q

Fly from CYVR to KFLA ? What icing and turbulence you meet ?

A

Moderate icing & occasional moderate to severe turbulence.

27
Q

What is radiation fog?

A

Radiation cooling, contact with the earth

28
Q

Fog that forms in the cold air section of a warm front because?

A

Cold air become saturated from rain falling from warm air

29
Q

GFA distance between the FZRA and first warm front?

A

150nm

30
Q

How to scan with weather radar TS ?

A

Middle to lower area

31
Q

TS shows on weather radar an echo up to 90nm ?

A

The intensity will decrease as distance increase

32
Q

PSR can be use to?

A

Detect weather, SSR need transponder, can’t detect weather.

33
Q

Surface have wind shear, which one is the correct effect?

A

Increase in A/S

34
Q

Comment fonctionne le DME

A

Time difference to determine the distance

The measurement of the time between the transmission of an aircraft interrogating signal and the receipt of a matched pulse reply signal from a ground station (the 2 signals having different frequencies)

35
Q

Flying through the jetstream, temperature drop, if you want to avoid the jet stream, what would you do ?

A

Descent

36
Q

How many satellites for 3D view?

Q

What cause Coriolis force

A

The earth’s rotation axis.

38
Q

Where you can find rotor cloud?

A

Left side (downwind)

39
Q

A warm and stable air mass go through rocky mountain will form Pacific ocean?

A

Upslope fog

40
Q

When do you use SSB ?

A

Must be used to contact FSS

41

43
Q

Jet stream location in winter and summer

A

Winter in south, summer in north

44
Q

Isotach chart, counter line, altitude gradient?

A

Slope of the pressure surface

45
Q

For TCAS and ACAS resolution advisory, how to do?

A

Manœuvre first, then tell ATC, return back to route.

46
Q

The reason for steam fog ?

A

Raising dewpoint and temperature

47
