and answers already passed
____________ turbulence is turbulent vertical motions that result from
convective currents and the subsequent rising and sinking air.
Convective
____________ stability is the state of a column of unsaturated air in the
atmosphere when its lapse rate of temperature is less than the dry adiabatic
lapse rate, but greater than the moist adiabatic lapse rate.
Conditional
What action should a pilot take to avoid convective turbulence?
fly above the haze layer
A compensating downward current of air results from rising thermals, but the
downdrafts are over a broad area and therefore weaker than the updrafts.
True
What type of stability does an atmosphere exhibit with an environmental lapse
rate indicated by A?
absolute instability
,Thermals continue to rise as long as their temperature is __________ than
their surroundings.
warmer
One method used to describe thermals is the column or plume model.
True
Which of the following atmospheric soundings was made in the afternoon or
early evening?
B
Which type of surface feature would heat-up the most and produce the
strongest convective thermals?
sandy or rocky wastelands
Would this airplane in this photo experience convective turbulence at this
altitude?
no
What is the average annual number of injuries that result from turbulence
accidents?
58
, The additional load factor that results from vertical gusts is _____ proportional
to the wing loading.
inversely
Which of the following is not a method to quantify the magnitude of
turbulence?
energy gradient (EG)
How does an upward vertical gust affect the angle of attack of an airplane in
flight?
it increases the angle of attack
The load factor of an airplane increases with _______ assuming all other
factors are the same
lift
Turbulence that affects aircraft occurs on the
microscale
How would an upward directed force (such as a turbulence gust) affect the
load factor of an airplane?
