The weather report lists the ceiling at 800 feet. What is the highest you can
operate your sUAS?

300 feet AGL.

200 feet AGL.

800 feet AGL.

4.2 / 4.2 pts
What feature is normally associated with the cumulus stage of a
thunderstorm?

Frequent lightning.

Roll cloud.

Continuous updraft.
The key feature of the cumulus stage is an updraft. Precipitation beginning
to fall from the cloud base is the signal that a downdraft has developed also,
and a cell has entered the mature stage. (UA.III.B.K1e) - AC 00-6

IncorrectQuestion 13
0 / 4.2 pts
What environment is most conducive to frost formation?

Surface temperature is above freezing, air temperature is below freezing.

Dewpoint of surface is below freezing, dewpoint is above freezing.

Surface temperature is below freezing, air temperature is below freezing.

On cool, clear, calm nights, the temperature of the ground and objects on
the surface can cause temperatures of the surrounding air to drop below the
dew point. When this occurs, the moisture in the air condenses and deposits
itself on the ground, buildings, and other objects like cars and aircraft. This
moisture is known as dew and sometimes can be seen on grass and other
objects in the morning. If the temperature is below freezing, the moisture is
deposited in the form of frost. (UA.III.B.K1g) - AC 00-6
IncorrectQuestion 14
0 / 4.2 pts
Which weather phenomenon signals the beginning of the mature stage of a
thunderstorm?

Maximum growth rate of the clouds.

Incorrect because the maximum growth rate of the clouds is during the mature
stage of a thunderstorm, but it does not signal the beginning of that stage.

The appearance of an anvil top.

Precipitation beginning to fall.

The key feature of the cumulus stage is an updraft. Precipitation beginning

to fall from the cloud base is the signal that a downdraft has developed also
and the cell has entered the mature stage. (UA.III.B.K1e) -AC 00-6

Question 15
4.2 / 4.2 pts
In what stage are thunderstorms the strongest?

Dissipating

Cumulus

Mature

Thunderstorm hazards reach their greatest intensity during the mature

stage, which is when precipitation begins. (UA.III.B.K1e)- AC 00-6

Question 16
4.2 / 4.2 pts
Where are squalls most likely to form?
Low altitude.

High altitude.

At any altitude.

A continuous line of thunderstorms, or squall line, may form along or ahead

of the front. Squall lines present a serious hazard to pilots as squall type
thunderstorms are intense and move quickly. Squalls can occur at
any altitude-they are not unique to high- or low-altitude operations.

Question 17
4.2 / 4.2 pts
If there is thunderstorm activity in the vicinity of an airport at which you plan
to land, which hazardous atmospheric phenomenon might be expected
during recovery/landing of the sUAS?

Precipitation static.

Wind-shear turbulence.

Steady rain.

Wind shear is an invisible hazard associated with all thunderstorms. Shear

turbulence has been encountered 20 miles laterally from a severe storm.

IncorrectQuestion 18
0 / 4.2 pts
Which is the most hazardous condition when flying an sUAS in the vicinity of
thunderstorms?
Wind shear and turbulence

Static electricity

Lightning

During the mature stage of a thunderstorm, updrafts and downdrafts in

proximity create strong vertical shears and a very turbulent environment. A
lightning strike can puncture the skin of an aircraft, damage communication
and navigation equipment, or hit the remote pilot or crew on the ground.

What is the expected duration of an individual microburst?

One microburst may continue for as long as 2 to 4 hours.

Two minutes with maximum winds lasting approximately 1 minute.

Seldom longer than 15 minutes from the time the burst strikes the ground

An individual microburst will seldom last longer than 15 minutes from the
time it strikes the ground until dissipation. However, there may be multiple
microbursts in the area. (UA.III.B.K1e) - AIM 7-1-25

Question 22
4.2 / 4.2 pts
What conditions are necessary for the formation of thunderstorms?

High humidity, lifting force, and unstable conditions.

High humidity, high temperature, and cumulus clouds.

Lifting force, moist air, and extensive cloud cover.

For a cumulonimbus cloud or thunderstorm to form, the air must have:

1. Sufficient water vapor,

2. An unstable lapse rate, and
3. An initial upward boost (lifting) to start the storm process in
motion. (UA.III.B.K1e) - AC 00-6

Two conditions are necessary for structural icing in flight:

1. The aircraft must be flying through visible water such as rain or

cloud droplets, and
2. The temperature at the point where the moisture strikes the
aircraft must be 0 ⁰C (32 ⁰F) or colder. (UA.III.B.K1g) - AC 00-6
