Question 1

According to the ICAO Standard Atmosphere (ISA), what are the standard sea-level values for temperature, pressure, and air density?

15°C, 1013.25 hPa, and 1.225 kg/m³ 20°C, 1013.25 hPa, and 1.000 kg/m³ 15°C, 1000.0 hPa, and 1.225 kg/m³ 0°C, 1013.25 hPa, and 1.400 kg/m³

Correct Answer:

15°C, 1013.25 hPa, and 1.225 kg/m³

Question 2

How does the altitude of the tropopause typically vary from the equator to the geographic poles?

Higher at the equator (~16–18 km) and lower at the poles (~8–10 km) Lower at the equator (~8–10 km) and higher at the poles (~16–18 km) Uniform across all latitudes at approximately 11 km (36,000 ft) Higher over the poles during winter and lower over the equator during summer

Correct Answer:

Higher at the equator (~16–18 km) and lower at the poles (~8–10 km)

Question 3

An aircraft is parked at an aerodrome with an elevation of 4,500 ft AMSL. The current QNH reported by ATC is 1003 hPa. What is the pressure altitude of the aircraft?

4,800 ft 4,200 ft 4,500 ft 5,100 ft

Correct Answer:

4,800 ft

Question 4

An airport has a pressure altitude of 5,000 ft and an outside air temperature (OAT) of +25°C. What is the density altitude under these conditions?

7,400 ft 6,200 ft 5,000 ft 3,800 ft

Correct Answer:

7,400 ft

Question 5

When flying from an area of high barometric pressure into an area of low pressure without resetting the altimeter subscale from departure QNH, how will the true altitude compare to indicated altitude?

True altitude will be lower than indicated altitude. True altitude will be higher than indicated altitude. True altitude will remain exactly equal to indicated altitude. Indicated altitude will automatically adjust to display true altitude.

Correct Answer:

True altitude will be lower than indicated altitude.
