1. The tropopause in mid latitudes is

Lower in summer with a lower temperature.

Lower in winter with a lower temperature.

Lower in winter with a higher temperature.

Lower in summer with a higher temperature.

2. Under what condition does pressure altitude have the same value as density altitude?

When the altimeter has no position error.

At sea level when the temperature is 0°C.

When the altimeter setting is 1013,2 hPa.

At standard temperature.

3. Consider the following statements relative to Air Density and select the one which is correct:

At any given surface temperature the air density will be greater in anticyclonic conditions than it will be when the MSL pressure is lower.

Because air density increases with decrease of temperature, air density must increase with increase of height in the International Standard Atmosphere (ISA..

The effect of change of temperature on the air density is much greater than the effect of change of atmospheric pressure

Air density increases with increase of relative humidity.

4. In the troposphere

over cold air, the pressure is higher at upper levels than at similar levels over warm air

the upper level pressure depends solely on the relative humidity below

over cold air, the pressure is lower at upper levels than at similar levels over warm air

over warm air, the pressure is lower at upper levels than at similar levels over warm air

5. Generally as altitude increases

temperature, pressure and density decreases

temperature decreases and pressure density increases

temperature and pressure increase and density decreases

temperature decreases and density increases

6. At FL 180, the air temperature is -35°C.The air density at this level is

Equal to the density of the ISA atmosphere at FL 180.

Greater than the density of the ISA atmosphere at FL 180.

Unable to be determined without knowing the QNH.

Less than the density of the ISA atmosphere at FL 180

7. Density at the surface will be low when

Pressure is low and temperature is low.

Pressure is low and temperature is high.

Pressure is high and temperature is high.

Pressure is high and temperature is low.
