46
AIRMETS
T -moderate turbulence (winds 30 knots or greater) an non convective wind shear Z - Moderate icing - gives freezing levels S - IFR conditions and mountain obscurations
47
SIGMETS
Non scheduled inflight advisory Servere icing (not with T storms) Severe or extreme turbulence (No T storms) Dust Storms, Sandstorms
48
Convective SIGMET
Convective weather -Severe thunderstorms -Tornados -Embedded t storms Line of t storms at least 50 miles long
49
Three conditions required for a thunderstorm
Water vapor Unstable temp lapse rate Uplifting force
50
Three stages of a thunderstorm
Cumulus Mature Dissipating
51
Types of fog Radiation Advection Ice Upslope/Adiabatic Steam
RADIATION - calm clear nights, ground cools quickly used to release of ground radiation ADVECTION - Warm moist air moves over cold surface. Winds required ICE - Temp far below freezing. Vapor turns directly to ice. UPSLOPE - Moist stable air forced up terrain and cooled dow by adiabatic cooling STEAM - Cold dry air moves over warm water
52
What causes hyperventilation
Excessive CO2 is eliminated from the body from breathing too rapidly.
53
LIFR IFR MVFR VFR
Ceiling Visibility LIFR - less than 500 ft less than 1 SM IFR 500 to 1000 AGL 1 SM to less than 3 SM MVFR 1000 to 3000 AGL 3 to 5 SM VFR Greater than 3000 Greater than 5 SM
54
Going missed procedure
1. Press GO AROUND button 2. Pitch up 7 degrees to command bars 2. Full throttle 3. Establish positive rate of climb 4. Hit Nav button (or heading if vectored) 5. Hit FLC and set climb to 80 its 6. Above 800 feet engage Autopilot
