private pilot weather Question every physical process of weather is accompanied by,or is the result of,a what causes variations in altimeter settings between weather report points? the wind at 5,000 feet AGL is Southwesterly while the surface wind is southerly, the difference in direction is primarily due to convective circulation patterns associated with sea breezes are caused by the development of thermals depends upon the boundary between tow different air masses is referred to as a one weather phenomenon which will always occur when flying across a front is a change in the one of the most easily recognized discontinuities across the front is if there is thunderstorm activity in the vicinity of an airport at which you plan to land, which hazardous atmospheric phenomenon might be expected on the landing approach ? a non frontal narrow band of active thunderstorms that often develop ahead of a cold front is known as a what condition are necessary for the formation of thunderstorms? during the life cycle of a thunderstorm, which stage is characterize predominantly by downdrafts? thunderstorms reach their greatest intensity during the what feature is normally associated with the cumulus stage of the thunderstorm? Which weather phenomenon signals the beginning of the mature stage of a thunderstorm? Thunderstorms which generally produce the most intense hazard to aircraft are Which weather phenomenon is always associated with a thunderstorm? Answer heat exchange. unequal heating of the Earth's surface. friction between the wind and the surface. cool dance air moving in land from over the water. solar heating front wind direction. a change in temperature. wind- shear turbulence squall line. high humidity, lifting force, and unstable condition. dissipating. mature stage. continuous updraft. precipitation beginning to fall squall line thunderstorms. lightning. frost spoils the smooth flow of air over the wings, thereby decreasing lifting capacity. frost will disrupt the smooth flow of air How will frost on the wings of an airplane affect takeoff performance? over the wings, adversely affecting its lifting capacity. frost may prevent the aircraft from How does frost affect the lifting surfaces of an airplane of takeoff? becoming airborne at normal takeoff speeds. Why is frost considered hazardous to flight?
