Question 1
Question
1- At temperatures of between 0oC and -10oC clouds consist of:
Question 2
Question
2- Turbulent clouds are most serious from the icing standpoint because:
Answer
-
Strong vertical currents mean that a predominance of large supercooled water droplets will be present.
-
Strong vertical currents mean that a predominance of small supercooled water droplets will be present.
-
Turbulent clouds produce hail which sticks to the aircraft.
-
Turbulent clouds indicate a low freezing level.
Question 3
Question
3- Hoar frost forms on an aircraft when:
Answer
-
The aircraft suddenly enters a cloud at below freezing temperature.
-
he aircraft in sub zero clear air suddenly enters a colder region.
-
The aircraft in sub zero clear air suddenly enters a warmer moist
region.
-
The aircraft suddenly enters a cloud which is at higher temperature than the surrounding air.
Question 4
Question
4- Stratus cloud of limited depth at a temperature of -5o C will most likely give:
Answer
-
Moderate to heavy rime ice.
-
Moderate to heavy glaze ice.
-
Light to moderate rime ice.
-
Light to moderate glaze ice.
Question 5
Question
5- Most cases of serious piston engine icing occur in cloud, fog, or precipitation with a temperature range between:
Answer
-
- 10ºC to +25ºC
-
-18ºC to +5ºC
-
-10ºC to 0ºC
-
-20ºC to +15ºC
Question 6
Question
6- Clear ice forms as a result of:
Answer
-
Large supercooled water droplets spreading as they freeze.
-
Ice pellets splattering on the aircraft.
-
Small supercooled water droplets splashing over the aircraft.
-
Water vapur freezing to the aircraft.
Question 7
Question
7- Orographic uplift in stable conditions gives a strong vertical component to air movement thus supporting larger supercooled droplets in orographically formed cloud. Consideration should also be given to the fact that in this cloud:
Answer
-
The 0ºC isotherm will be higher.
-
The 0ºC isotherm will be lower.
-
The lapse rate will be isothermal.
-
An inversion can be anti-cyclonic.
Question 8
Question
8- Carburettor icing is unlikely:
Question 9
Question
9- Flying 50 nm ahead of a warm front out of cloud at 1000 ft in winter, with an ambient temperature of -8oC, there is a strong risk of:
Answer
-
Hoar frost.
-
Rime icing and carburettor icing.
-
Structure damage caused by hail.
-
Clear ice in the form of rain ice.
Question 10
Question
10- In AS cloud at FL 170 and a temperature of -20oC the airframe icing most likely to be experienced is:
Answer
-
Moderate clear icing.
-
Light rime icing.
-
Hoar frost.
-
Severe clear icing.
