My attempt to get a perfect mark on my first Meterology test failed. I ended up with 89%, two questions out of eighteen incorrect. They were:
If an aircraft is flying from an airport that is very cold to an airport that is very warm,
a) It will be lower than its indicated altitude.
b) It will be higher than its indicated altitude.
c) It will be at the indicated altitude
d) it’s altitude won’t change.
Correct answer is B, I picked A.
How is the earth heated?
a) Short wave radiation from the sun
b) Long wave radiation from the sun
c) Terrestrial radiation
d) Conduction
Correct answer is A, I picked B.
For you first question remember this saying:
“From high to low, look out below” refers to pressure. Altimeter is over reading.
“From Hot to cold, look out below” refers to temperature. Altimeter is over reading.
