To get a complete weather briefing for the planned flight, the pilot should request

A standard briefing.

SIGMETs are issued as a warning of weather conditions hazardous to which aircraft?

All aircraft.

AIRMET's are advisory of significant weather phenomena but of lower intensities that SIGMET's and are intended for dissemination to

All pilots.

To update a previous weather briefing, a pilot should request

An abbreviated briefing.

Which type of weather briefing should a pilot request to supplement mass disseminated data?

An abbreviated briefing.

A weather briefing that is provided when the information requested is 6 or more hours in advance of the proposed departure time is

An outlook briefing.

When requesting weather information for the following morning, pilot should request

An outlook briefing.

From which primary source should information be obtained regarding expected weather at the estimated time of arrival if your destination has no Terminal Forecast?

Area Forecast.

To best determine general Forecast weather condition covering a flight information region, the pilot should refer to

Aviation Area Forecasts.

(Refer to Figure 16.) What sky condition and visibility are forecast for upper Michigan in the eastern portions after 2300Z?

Ceiling 1000 feet overcast and 3 to 5 statute miles visibility.

(Refer to Figure 19.) what weather is forecast for the Florida area just ahead of the stationary front during the first 12 hours?

Ceiling 1000 to 3000 feet and/or visibility 3 to 5 miles with continuous precipitation.

(Refer to Figure 16.) What sky condition and type obstructions to vision are forecast for upper Michigan in the western portions from 0200Z until 0500Z?

Ceiling becoming 1000 feet overcast with visibility 3 to 5 statute miles in mist.

(Refer to Figure 18, area E) The marginal weather in central Kentucky is due to low

Ceiling.

The section of the Area Forecast entitled "VFR CLDS/WX" contains a general description of

Cloud and weather which cover an area greater than 3000 square miles and is significant to VFR flight operation.

(Refer to Figure 18.) what is the status of the front that extend from Nebraska through the upper peninsula of Michigan?

Cold.

(Refer to Figure 19.) The enclosed shaded area associated with the low pressure system over northern Utah is forecast to have

Continuous snow.

(Refer to Figure 15.) the only cloud type forecast in TAF reports is

Cumulonimbus.

(Refer to Figure 19.) how are Significant Weather Prognostic Charts best used by a pilot?

For determining areas to avoid (freezing levels and turbulence).

(Refer to Figure 18.) Of what value is the Weather Depiction Chart to the pilot?

For determining general weather conditions on which to base flight planning.

(Refer to Figure 18.) according to the Weather Depiction Chart, the weather for a flight from southern Michigan to north Indiana is ceilings

Greater than 3000 feet and visibility greater than 5 miles.

(Refer to Figure 15.) During the time period from 0600Z to 0800Z, what visibility is forecast for the KOKC?

Greater than 6 statute miles.

What should pilots state initially when telephoning a weather briefing facility for preflight weather information?

Identify themselves as pilots.

To determine the freezing level and areas of probable icing aloft, the pilot should refer to the

Inflight Aviation Weather Advisory.

(Refer to Figure 12.) which of reporting stations have VFR weather?

KINK, KBOI, and KLAX.

(Refer to Figure 14.) The intensity of the turbulence reported at as specific altitud is

Light from 5500 feet to 7200 feet.

(Refer to Figure 14.) The intensity and type of icing reported by a pilot is

Light moderate rime.

(Refer to Figure 18, area D.) The IFR weather in norther Texas is due to

Low ceiling.

(Refer to Figure 18, area D.) What weather phenomenon is causing IFR condition in central Oklahoma?

Low ceilings and visibility.

For aviation purposes, ceiling is defined as the height above the Earth's surface of the

Lowest broken or overcast layer or vertical visibility into an obscuration.

(Refer to Figure 19.) Interpret the weather symbol depicted in Utah on the 12-hour Significant weather Prognostic Chart.

Moderate turbulence, surface to 18000 feet.

(Refer to Figure 15.) In the TAF from KOKC, the clear sky becomes

Overcast at 2000 feet during the forecast period between 2200Z and 2400Z.

(Refer to Figure 12.) The remarks section for KMDW has RAB35 listed. This entry means

Rain began at 1835Z

(Refer to Figure 15.) In the TAF for KMEM, what does "SHRA" stand for?

Rain showers.

Which in-flight advisory would contain information on severe icing not associated with thunderstorms?

SIGMET.

(Refer to Figure 12.) What are the current condition depicted for Chicago Midway Airport (KMDW)?

Sky 700 feet overcast, visibility 1-1/2 SM, rain.

Which type weather briefing should a pilot request, when departing within the hour, if no preliminary weather information has been received?

Standard briefing.

When telephoning a weather briefing facility for preflight weather information, pilots should state

The aircraft identification or the pilot's name.

What should pilots state initially when telephoning a weather briefing facility for preflight weather information?

The intended route of flight and destination.

What is indicated when a current CONVECTIVE SIGMET forecasts thunderstorms?

Thunderstorms obscured by massive cloud layers.

What information is contained in a CONVECTIVE SIGMET?

Tornadoes, embedded thunderstorms, and hail 3/4 inch or greater in diameter.

What values are used for Winds Aloft Forecast?

True direction and knots.

(Refer to Figure 16.) What is the outlook for the southern half of Indiana after 0700Z?

VFR.

(Refer to Figure 15.) what is the forecast wind for KMEM from until 1600Z until the end of the forecast?

Variable in direction at 6 knots.

When speaking to a Flight Service weather briefer, you should state

Whether the flight is VFR or IFR.

When telephoning a weather briefing facility for preflight weather information, pilots should state

Whether they intend to fly VFR only.
