Refer to Figure 12. Precipitation in the form of rain, which may accompany thunderstorms and the resulting microbursts that produce hazardous wind shear for small UAS, is reported at which airport?
medium
A remote pilot is operating a small unmanned aircraft system (sUAS) near a thunderstorm and encounters a microburst. This will most likely affect the sUAS performance by causing
hard
Refer to the Low-Level Significant Weather (SIGWX) Prognostic Chart. The severe turbulence symbol near 80W and 40N on the 24 HR forecast (VT 06Z Sun Apr 15 2012) represents the greatest risk to small UAS performance from
hard
Your small unmanned aircraft (sUA) is flying at 300 feet above ground level (AGL) when it encounters the core of a microburst with a downdraft speed of 6,000 feet per minute (fpm). Assuming no corrective action by the remote pilot and constant vertical velocity, approximately how many seconds will elapse before the sUA impacts the ground?
hard
Refer to the provided figure, which depicts Low-Level Significant Weather (SIGWX) Prognostic Charts. The combination of the 'Ceiling less than 1,000 feet and/or visibility less than 3 miles' symbol and an adjacent moderate or greater turbulence symbol near 90W at 40N on the 12 HR SIG WX PROG chart is most indicative of what weather condition that adversely affects small UAS performance?
easy
A remote pilot in command (PIC) is planning a small UAS flight and forecasts indicate developing thunderstorms along the route. To address the effects of thunderstorms and microbursts on UAS performance, the PIC should
