Question 1
What are the standard International Standard Atmosphere (ISA) sea-level values for temperature and pressure?
Correct Answer:
15°C and 1013.25 hPa
Question 2
What is the standard Dry Adiabatic Lapse Rate (DALR) applied to unsaturated air in aviation meteorology?
Correct Answer:
3.0°C per 1,000 feet
Question 3
Why is the Saturated Adiabatic Lapse Rate (SALR) lower than the Dry Adiabatic Lapse Rate (DALR)?
Correct Answer:
Latent heat is released when water vapour condenses, offsetting adiabatic cooling
Question 4
An altimeter set to QNH will read which value when the aircraft is resting on the apron at an airfield?
Correct Answer:
Field elevation above mean sea level (AMSL)
Question 5
What is the typical rate of barometric pressure change with height in the lower troposphere near sea level?
Correct Answer:
Decrease of 1 hPa per 30 feet
