A pilot has planned a flight but the destination reports a weather phenomenon which induced the pilot to update his/her fuel log. Which of the following phenomena does this refer to (most likely)?

  • A
    Haze or mist.
  • B
    Recent snow showers.
  • C
    Recent rain showers.
  • D
    Shallow fog.

This question can be tricky - because all the weather conditions given may lead to diversion to the alternate. But let's try to keep it simple => a Snow Shower will contaminate the runway and clearing the runway will take some time - which means that the runway might not be ready for landing. Furthermore, we do not know how much we will be able to see upon landing (snow showers/blowing snow is known for being one of the phenomenons which reduces visibility the most).

Note: According to our feedback, the correct option for this question has been updated recently, and we can confirm that "recent snow showers" is being marked as correct.
