Identify the potential hazards for a flight from Shannon (53°N 009°W) to Warsaw (52°N 021°E) at FL120. The flight will...
-
A
Pass through an area of thunderstorms, hail, moderate or severe icing and turbulence, cross below a jet stream and associated CAT area and finally encounter an area of moderate turbulence and moderate icing.
-
B
Cross through an area of CAT passing below the jet stream core and later through an area of moderate turbulence.
-
C
Encounter no hazards although it will pass both above and below areas of significant weather and CAT.
-
D
Pass below a CAT area but through an area of moderate turbulence and moderate icing.
Refer to figure.
Begin by locating Shannon and Warsaw on the map, and then draw a line connecting these two cities for simplicity.
You’ll notice that the aircraft will pass beneath CAT area 3, which indicates moderate clear-air turbulence (CAT) from FL180 up to FL370.
As the flight progresses, specifically when south of Denmark, the aircraft will enter a scalloped cloud area where moderate icing and moderate turbulence are expected from below FL100 up to FL200. At FL120, the aircraft will be within this cloud zone.
