Question 1 of 8

1. Question
Of the below situations, which one has the highest likelihood of producing clear ice on the airframe in flight?
- Flying in the cold air under an approaching warm front, in rain, while the outside air temperature is less than 0°C
- Flying through persistent and heavy snow
- Descending into warm and moist air after flying in dry air with an outside air temperature of less than 0°C
- Flight through cloud with a temperature of -20°C
Correct

Incorrect
Question 2 of 8

2. Question
Rain ice can seriously degrade performance and cause safety issues to an aircraft. Which of the below is most likely to result in rain ice?
- Flying above the freezing level in the cold air before an advancing warm front
- Flying below the freezing level in the cold air before an advancing warm front
- Flying above the freezing level in the warm air behind an advancing warm front
- Flying below the freezing level in the warm air behind an advancing warm front
Correct

Incorrect
Question 3 of 8

3. Question
Airframe icing:
- Will reduce lift, increase drag, and increase weight, all of which will reduce aircraft performance
- Reduces friction between the air and the airframe skin, reducing drag and increasing aircraft performance
- Is not possible when flying clear of cloud and in sight of the surface
- Will reduce airspeed, meaning fuel consumption per mile flown increases but it is not a major risk to flight safety
Correct

Incorrect
Question 4 of 8

4. Question
Flying through cloud with an outside air temperature (OAT) of -7°C, a pilot should expect:
- Primarily rime ice to form on the leading edges, though other types of icing are possible too
- Primarily clear ice to form spread across the entire airframe, though other types of icing are possible too
- No ice to form as any water droplets in the atmosphere will already be frozen ice pellets that will not attach to the airframe
- Only rime ice to form
Correct

Incorrect
Question 5 of 8

5. Question
While completing the pre-flight inspection on your aircraft, you find ice on the airframe. What should you do?
- All ice must be removed from the airframe before departure
- Ice on the airframe that is more than half an inch thick must be removed. Ice less than half an inch thick is acceptable for a departure in which you can remain clear of cloud
- All ice must be removed from any flying surfaces. After removing ice from the wings, tail, and control surfaces the aircraft is safe to fly
- If the air temperature is above 0°C it is acceptable to depart with ice on the airframe as it will melt
Correct

Incorrect
Question 6 of 8

6. Question
Which of the following conditions are most favourable for ice accretion?
- Temperatures between 0°C and -20°C, presence of clouds
- Temperatures between -20°C and -40°C, presence of clouds
- Temperatures between +10°C and -30°C, presence of clouds
- Temperatures below 0°C, strong winds, sky clear of clouds
Correct

Incorrect
Question 7 of 8

7. Question
Refer to the diagram below.

What is the risk of carburettor icing while taxiing with a temperature of 15°C and a dew point of 6°C?
- Serious Icing
- Moderate Icing
- Light Icing
- Nil Icing
Correct

Incorrect
Question 8 of 8

8. Question
Which of the below listed conditions is NOT likely to result in carburettor icing?
- All of these conditions are likely to produce carburettor icing
- Cruising slightly below cloud base with an outside air temperature of +4°C
- Expediting descent by reducing power to idle with an outside air temperature of +23°C
- Climbing through a cloud layer with an outside air temperature of -5°C
Correct

Incorrect
