The JAA
CPL Meteorology
test bank contains questions pertaining to
050-01-06 Altimetry
. The following list contains only a relatively small percentage of the pertinent
questions. Our software, which you are free to download now at no cost, will
generally contain a much more complete set of questions associated with this
test bank. This list is intended only to familiarize you in a general way with
the questions of the
Meteorology
test bank.

That said, while the following questions are intended
as a general familiarization tool, this list may not be up-to-date nor accurate.
We do not update this website as often as we update our software, which will
contain at any moment all questions that we have for a given test / topic. Therefore,
if you need to actually study for your test, instead of using the list below,
we strongly, strongly encourage you to download our GroundSchool
JAA CPL
written test prep software. Not only is it more complete and up-to-date, but is also considerably faster and more efficient as a study tool.

- The QNH of an airport at sea level is 983hPa and the temperature deviation from ISA is -15°C below FL100. What is the true altitude of FL100?
- The pressure altitude is equal to the true altitude if
- You are flying at FL200. Outside air temperature is -40°C, and the pressure at sea level is 1033hPa. What is the true altitude?
- The following temperatures have been observed over a station at 1200UTC. Assume the station is at MSL. Height in feet. Temperature in degrees C. 20000: -12; 18000: -11; 16000: -10; 14000: -10; 12000: -6; 10000: -2; 8000: +2; 6000: +6; 4000: +12; 2000: +15; surface: +15
- An aircraft is flying through the Alps on a very cold winter's day. The regional QNH is 1013hPa. During the flight, you circle around a mountain at an altitude of its summit. What reading will the aneroid altimeter give, compared to the elevation of the summit?
- Which of the following conditions gives the highest value of the QNH?
- Which of the following statements is true?
- After landing at an aerodrome (QNH 993hPa) it is noticed that the altimeter is still set to 1013.2hPa and that it reads 1200ft. What is the elevation of the aerodrome above mean sea level?
- An aircraft is descending to land under IFR. If the local QNH is 1009hPa, what will happen to the altitude reading when the altimeter is reset at the transition level?
- In Geneva, the local QNH is 994hPa. The elevation of Geneva is 1411ft. The QFE adjustment in Geneva is
- What information is required to convert a minimum safe altitude into a lowest usable flight level?
- What happens to an aircrafts altimeter on the ground at the approach of a cold front?
- If an aircraft, without changing altimeter reference, flies so that the altimeter all the time indicates the same altitude, this always means that:
- Aerodrome QFF is the:
- The QNH is 1030Hpa and at the Transition Level you set the SPS. What happens to your indicated altitude?
- QNH is defined as:
- An airfield has an elevation of 540ft with a QNH of 993mb. An aircraft descends and lands at the airfield with 1013mb set. What will its altimeter read on landing?
- An aircraft is in level flight at FL100 over a mountain range, which extends up to 2400 metres AMSL. If the regional QNH is 998 hPa, what is the approximate terrain clearance?
- You are flying in the Alps at the same level as the summits on a hot day. What does the altimeter read?
- At an airport 1.700 ft above sea level the temperature reading is +10° C . from the barometer readings made at the same time QFE, QFF and QNH are computed. Which of the following statements concerning air pressure in correct?
- On the ground, an altimeter will read ... ft if QFE is set and ... if QNH is set:
- If the Bahrain QNH = 1003mb, how thick is the Transition Layer assuming that 1mb = 40 ft at altitude; the Bahrain TA = 13.000 ft and the TL is FL 150?
- If the QFE at Locarno (200 metres above sea level) is 980 hPa, what is the approximate QNH ?
- An aircraft lands at an airport (airport elevation 1240 FT, QNH 1008 hPa). The altimeter is set to 1013 hPa. The altimeter will indicate :
- During a flight over the sea at FL 100 from Marseille (QNH 1012 hPa) to Palma de Mallorca (QNH 1012 hPa), the true altitude is constantly increasing. What action, if any, should be taken ?
- An aircraft is descending to land under IFR. If the local QNH is 1009 hPa, what will happen to the altitude reading when the altimeter is reset at the transition level ?
- An aircraft is flying at FL 80. The local QNH is 1000 hPa. After the second altimeter has been adjusted to the local QNH, the reading will be approximately
