Questions for ICING
Answer the following questions
Test Mode
Training Mode
1. Freezing rain occurs when
water vapour first turns into water droplets
rain falls into a layer of air with temperatures below 0°C
snow falls into an above-freezing layer of air
ice pellets melt
2. A vertical temperature profile indicates the possibility of severe icing when the temperature profile
indicates temperatures below -40°C
coincides with a dry adiabatic lapse rate
intersects the 0°C isotherm twice
indicates temperatures above 3°C
3. Under which conditions would you expect the heaviest clear ice accretion to occur in a CB?
Between -2°C and -15°C
Close to the freezing level
Between -20°C and -30°C
Between -30°C and -40°C
4. Hoar frost is most likely to form when
flying inside convective clouds.
flying in supercooled drizzle.
flying inside stratiform clouds.
taking off from an airfield with a significant ground inversion.
5. Glaze or clear ice is formed when supercooled droplets are
small and freeze rapidly
small and at a temperature just below freezing
large and at a temperature just below freezing
of any size at temperatures below -35°C
6. Clear ice is dangerous because it
spreads out and contains many air particles
is heavy and is difficult to remove from the aircraft surfaces
is not translucent and forms at the leading edges
is translucent and only forms at the leading edges
7. A small supercooled cloud droplet that collides with an airfoil will most likely
travel back over the wing, creating clear ice
freeze immediately and create clear ice
travel back over the wing, creating rime ice
freeze immediately and create rime ice
8. In which of these cloud types can icing be virtually ruled out?
AS
NS
SC
CS
9. In which environment is aircraft structural ice most likely to have the highest rate of accretion?
Cirrus clouds
Stratus clouds
Snow
Freezing rain
10. Which of the following statements is true regarding moderate-to-severe airframe icing?
It always occurs in altostratus cloud
It will occur in clear-sky conditions
It is likely to occur in nimbostratus cloud
It may occur in the uppermost levels of a cumulonimbus capillatus formation
11. In which of these cloud types can icing be virtually ruled out?
CU
NS
CI
SC
12. You have been flying for some time in dense layered cloud. The outside air temperature is - 25°C. Which of the following statements is true?
If you do not have weather radar on board there is no need to worry as CB is unlikely to form in such cloud
Severe airframe icing is unlikely under these conditions
In a dense layered cloud icing is unlikely
Severe airframe icing is quite likely under these conditions
13. The most dangerous form of airframe icing is
hoar frost
rime ice
clear ice.
dry ice
14. Two aircraft, one with a sharp wing profile (S), and the other with a thick profile (T), are flying through the same cloud with same true airspeed. The cloud consists of small supercooled droplets. Which of the following statements is most correct concerning ice accretion?
Aircraft S and T experience the same amount of icing
Neither of the aircraft accumulate ice due to the small size of droplets
Aircraft T experiences more icing than S
Aircraft S experiences more icing than T
15. How does freezing rain develop?
Rain falls through a layer where temperatures are below 0°C
Rain falls on cold ground and then freezes
Through melting of ice crystals
Through melting of sleet grains
16. Large supercooled water drops, which freeze on impact on an aircraft, form
rime ice
cloudy ice
hoar frost
clear ice
17. How does a pilot react to heavy freezing rain at 2000 FT/AGL, when he is unable to deice, nor land?
He descends to the warm air layer below
He ascends to the cold air layer above
He turns back before the aircraft loses maneuverability
He continues to fly at the same altitude
18. In which of the following situations can freezing rain be encountered?
Ahead of a cold front in the winter
Ahead of a warm front in the winter
Ahead of a cold front in the summer
Behind a warm front in the summer
19. Freezing fog exists if fog droplets
are frozen
freeze when temperature falls below zero
are freezing very rapidly
are supercooled
20. While descending through a cloud cover at high level, a small amount of a white and rough powder-like contamination is detected along the leading edge of the wing. This contamination is called
Frost
Clear ice.
Mixed ice.
Rime ice.
21. Supercooled droplets can be encountered
at any time of the year
only in winter above 10000 FT
only in winter at high altitude
in winter only in high clouds
22. During the formation of rime ice in flight, water droplets freeze
slowly and spread out
rapidly and do not spread out
slowly and do not spread out
rapidly and spread out
23. Which of the following conditions is most likely to cause airframe icing?
GR
+FZRA
PE
SHSN
24. Supercooled droplets are always
at a temperature below -60°C
at a temperature below freezing
large and at a temperature below freezing
small and at a temperature below freezing
25. Freezing precipitation occurs
mainly in the form of freezing hail or freezing snow
only in the precipitation of a warm front
mainly in the form of freezing rain or freezing drizzle
only in the precipitation of a cold front
26. At what degree of icing should ICAO’s “Change of course and/or altitude desirable” recommendation be followed?
Light
Moderate
Extreme
Severe
27. Hoar frost forms on an aircraft as a result of
droplets forming on the aircraft and then freezing
water vapour turning directly into ice crystals on the aircraft surface
freezing rain striking the aircraft
small super-cooled droplets striking the aircraft
28. On the approach, the surface temperature is given as -5°C. The freezing level is at 3000 FT/AGL. At 4000 FT/AGL, there is a solid cloud layer from which rain is falling. According to the weather briefing, the clouds are due to an inversion caused by warm air sliding up and over an inclined front. Would you expect icing?
No, flights clear of cloud experience no icing
Yes, between ground level and 3000 FT/AGL
No, absolutely no icing will occur
Yes, but only between 3000 and 4000 FT/AGL.
29. Supercooled droplets can occur in
clouds but not in precipitation
clouds, fog and precipitation
precipitation but not in clouds
clouds but not in fog
30. What type of fronts are most likely to be present during the winter in Central Europe when temperatures close to the ground are below 0°C, and freezing rain starts to fall?
Cold fronts.
Warm fronts, warm occlusions.
Cold occlusions.
High level cold fronts.
