How to breakdown a METAR can be located in what chapter of the FIH? - ️️Chapter C If a trial drift correction is too large to maintain a course track, what is the procedure used to return to course - ️️Turn to parallel original course and let wind drift Aircraft back on course; then decreases correction on next trial If a trial drift correction is too little to mintain a course track, what is the procedure used to return to course - ️️Increase second trial by adding 1/2 of the firs...

How can you file an IFR Flight Plan? - ️️Call a briefer by phone? Radio FSS Online (formerly DUATs), software like Foreflight Radio/Phone ATC How do you cancel an IFR flight pLan? - ️️Towered airports - ATC cancels for you upon landing Non-towered airports - call/radio FSS or ATC ATC while airborne as long as VFR conditions and not Class A How do you know if you need to file an alternate airport? - ️️+-1hr of ETA 2000ft ceiling and 3SM Visibility How do you know the static...

Are the courses depicted on an En-route Low Alt Chart mag or true course? - ️️Mag Course Are the winds of a "FB" true or magnetic? - ️️True north For IFR flight, what is the max allowable error for an altimeter? - ️️More then 75 feet from field elevation How do you determine if takeoff mins are not standard for an airport? - ️️If an airport has non-standard takeoff minimums, a "triangle T" symbol will be placed in the notes section of the instrument procedure chart...

why doesn't venus experience plate tectonics? - ️️Two Possibilities Venus is so hot that its lithosphere may slowly flow rather than break into plates Venus is so dry that its lithosphere may be too strong to break Why is Olympus Mons so big? - ️️Olympus Mons is a relatively flat shield volcano; 22 km high and over 600 km in diameter; avg. slope of 4 degrees Olympus Mons is this large due to: weak Mars gravity allows high topography, no plate tectonics on Mars to move a volcano of...

How we can simulate gravity on a spacecraft. - ️️By rotating the spacecraft, generating a centrifugal force that simulates gravity. "Down" always points outwards from the center of rotation How we know that the Oort Cloud is a sphere. - ️️Long period comets come form the oort cloud, a spherical collection of billions of small icy objects. We know it's a sphere because long period comets come at us from all directions. Why are there more impact cheaters on the moon today than ...

What provides the energy for hurricanes and what happens when they venture over land? - ️️Tropical cyclones get their energy from warm tropical waters. When hurricanes venture over land they lose their energy source, causing their winds to diminish rapidly. -With sustained winds of 196 mph (gusts up to 235 mph), Typhoon Haiyan (2013) was the strongest cyclone ever to make landfall (hit the Philippines at full strength) -Longest lasting and farthest traveling: Hurricane and Typhoon John, 19...

Is there debate within the scientific community about the current causes of global warming? - ️️Climate models lead to the unequivocal conclusion that human emissions of greenhouse gases are responsible for the current rise in global temperatures; There is no debate about this in the scientific community Why does the temperature of the troposphere decrease with altitude? - ️️This layer of the atmosphere is heated from the ground, causing it to be warmest near the surface. As warm air ri...

How do earthquake early warning systems work? - ️️seismic waves travel below the speed of light; therefore, a warning can arrive seconds before an earthquake (since EM radiation travels at the speed of light) Why does the mantle below the asthenosphere not flow easily? - ️️it is at higher pressure than the asthenosphere Why does the US Geological Survey believe there is high seismic hazard in the Midwest? - ️️historical data from previous earthquakes shows that a 500 year old fault...

Which are the terrestrial planets? - ️️Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars The relative angular velocity of Earth's satellites (natural and otherwise) based on their orbital distance - ️️Satellites orbit more slowly the more distant they orbit Satellites orbit faster the less distant they orbit The relative distance from the Sun to the giant planets - ️️Jupiter- 5.2, Saturn- 9.54, Uranus- 19.2, Neptune- 30.06, (AU) The relative distance from the Sun to the terrestrial planets - ️️...

How earthquake magnitudes are related to the relative magnitude of shaking? - ️️For every whole number increase in magnitude the amplitude of shaking goes up by a factor of 10. What is a mid-ocean ridge - ️️a long, seismically active submarine ridge system situated in the middle of an ocean basin and marking the site of the upwelling of magma associated with seafloor spreading/divergent margins. What is a passive plate margin? - ️️When a boundary between continental crust and ocean...
