Question 1
Which performance characteristics should be recognized during take-off when encountering a tailwind shear that increases in intensity?
Question 2
Which of the following statements are correct?\n1. A rapid increase in headwind is an 'energy gain'.\n2. A rapid loss of tailwind is an 'energy gain'.\n3. A shear from a tailwind to calm is an 'energy gain'.\n4. A shear from calm to a headwind is an 'energy gain'.\n5. A shear from headwind to calm is an 'energy loss'.
Question 3
Which of the following statements are correct?\n1. A downdraught is an 'energy gain'.\n2. A rapid loss of tailwind is an 'energy loss'.\n3. A shear from a tailwind to calm is an 'energy loss'.\n4. A shear from calm to a headwind is an 'energy gain'.\n5. A downdraught is an 'energy loss'.
Question 4
Which of the following statements about windshear is true?\n1. Windshear can subject your aircraft to sudden updraughts, downdraughts, or extreme horizontal wind components.\n2. Windshear will cause abrupt displacement from the flight path and require substantial control action to counteract it.\n3. Windshear only affects small single and twin engine aircraft. Large, modern, powerful, fast gas turbine engine powered aircraft will not suffer from the worst effects of a microburst.\n4. Microbursts are associated with cumulonimbus clouds.\n5. Windshear can strike suddenly and with devastating effect which has been beyond the recovery powers of experienced pilots flying modern and powerful aircraft.
Question 5
What is the expected duration of an individual microburst?
