Thunderstorms
What conditions are required for a thunderstorm to form?
Moisture, Unstable air, lifting source
How would you recognize the pitot tube had a blockage from icing?
Airspeed indicator could act as an altimeter.
When flying from a high pressure system into a low pressure system your true altitude is (higher or lower) than your indicated altidude?
Lower
Where can you find the field condition reports?
Ficon Notams
When do the runway centerline lights begin to alternate red/white?
3,000feet from the end of the runway.
How far away from a thunderstorm should you fly?
What is considered known icing?
Visibile moisture and temperatures at or below freezing
When flying from hot temperatures into cold temperatures, your true altitude is (higher or lower) than your indicated altitude?
Lower
What kind of braking action can be expected upon landing on rwy 9R?
RWY 09R FICON 3/3/3 100 PCT WET OBS AT 2411132338.
Medium
When do the runway centerline lights change from alternating red/white to solid red
Last 1,000ft of the runway
What is radar attenuation?
When is an airmet zulu issued?
Moderate Icing conditions
What does the snowflake on this approach mean?
Cold temperature corrections must be done when temperatures are at or colder than -16 C
Where can you find the field condition reports?
Ficon notams
What are the required landing minimums if the approach lights are out of service for the Localizer Approach?
1sm
Are there any threats with nexrad? If so, what?
Delays
Which type of icing is this pilot reporting?
DSM UA /OV DSM170020/TM 0105/FL150/TP S22T/TA M14/IC LGT RIME
Light Rime
How would you request cold temperature correction from ATC when the following conditions exist?
Vectors onto the approach outside the FAF inside WRAYS with cold temperature corrected altitude of 5,500ft.
"Request 5,500 ft for cold temperature operations."
Assuming we are following Part 121 regs for this departure, can a C172 takeoff from runway 12 if the visibility is 1/2sm?
No. Standard takeoff mins are 1/2
What visibility is required to descend below DA or MDA?
If possible, which way around a thunderstorm should you deviate?
Upwind
Explain how pneumatic deice boots work?
Boots expand and retract to break off any ice that formed on the leading edge of the wing.
Which segments of this approach are we required to correct for cold temperature errors?
Final Segment
Assuming we are following Part 121 rules for this departure, can a C172 depart from this airport from runway 12 if the visibility is 1sm and the temperature is 40 degrees C?
No. 450fpm required to 5,600ft. C172 under these conditions can make about 400fpm.
When do runway lights change from white to yellow?
Last 2000ft or 1/2, whichever is shorter
