The JAA
IR 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 IR
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.

- You intend to overfly a mountain range. The recommended minimum flight altitude is, according to the aviation chart, 15000ft/AMSL. The air mass that you will fly through is on average 15°C warmer than the standard atmosphere. The altimeter is set to QNH 1023hPa. At what altimeter reading will you effectively be at the recommended minimum flight altitude?
- During a flight over the sea at FL100 from Marseille (QNH 1016hPa) to Palma de Mallorca (QNH 1016hPa), the true altitude is constantly decreasing. What is the probable reason for this?
- An aircraft is flying at FL180 on the northern hemisphere with a crosswind from the left. Which of the following is correct concerning its true altitude?
- An aircraft is flying from Point A to Point B on the upper level contour chart. Thr altimeter setting is 1013.2hPa. Which of theese statements is correct?
- An aircraft is flying from Point A to Point B on the upper level contour chart. The altimeter setting is 1013.2hPa. Which of theese statements is correct?
- An aircraft is flying through the Alps on a warm summer's day. The weather is fine, and there is a high pressure system in the area. During the flight, a mountain is passed at an altitude of its summit. What reading will the aneroid altimeter give, compared to the summit's elevation?
- The QNH is equal to the QFE if
- The barometric compensator of an altimeter is locked on reference 1013.2hPa. The aircraft has to land on a point with an elevation of 290ft where the QNH is 1023hPa. Assuming that 1hPa corresponds to 27ft, the reading on the altimeter on the ground will be:
- An aircraft lands at an airport (airport elevation 540ft, QNH 993hPa) with the altimeter set to 1013hPa. What will it indicate?
- What pressure is defined as QFE?
- After landing at an aerodrome (elevation 1715ft), the altimeter indicates an altitude of 1310ft. The altimeter is set to the pressure value of 1013hPa. What is the QNH at this aerodrome?
- Which weather condition lowers true altitude as compared to pressure altitude to a position where flight over mountains could be dangerous?
- After landing at an aerodrome (aerodrome elevation 1715 FT), the altimeter indicates an altitude of 1310 FT.The altimeter is set to the pressure value of 1013 hPa. What is the QNH at this aerodrome?
- Your altimeter indicates 3600 ft, while set to standard pressure. You now adjust the subscale to the local QNH of 991 hPa. What will the indication than be:
- State the definition for QNH:
- QNH 1025 hPa at an altitude of 200 m AMSL: What will the approximate QFE be?
- At an airport (200 m AMSL), a QNH of 1022 hPa is observed and the temperature is unknown:
- The QNH at an airfield 200m AMSL is 1009 hPa, air temperature is 10 C lower than standard. What is the QFF?
- The difference between QNH and QFE at an airport is:
- Which factors below increase density altitude for a given aerodrome:Decreasing air pressure.Increasing air pressure.Decreasing temperature.Increasing temperature.
- While passing the Transition Level, you set the subscale on your altimeter to the local QNH of 1009 hPa:
- What pressure is defined as QFE?
- At an airport (0 m AMSL), a QNH of 1022 hPa is observed and the temperature is unknown:
- If the QFE at Locarno (200 metres above sea level) is 1000 hPa, what is the approximate QNH?
- You are flying at FL 130, and your true altitude is 12000 FT. What is the temperature deviation from that of the standard atmosphere at FL 130 (QNH 1013,2 hPa) ?
- During a flight over the sea at FL 100 from Marseille (QNH 1016 hPa) to Palma de Mallorca (QNH 1016 hPa), the true altitude is constantly decreasing. What is the probable reason for this ?
- An aircraft lands at an airport (airport elevation 540 FT, QNH 993 hPa) with the altimeter set to 1013 hPa. What will it indicate ?
- For a given airfield the QFE is 980 hPa and the QNH is 1000 hPa. The approximate elevation of the airfield is
