No
Which option correctly describes a Runway End Identifier Lighting (REIL) system?
White strobe lights positioned either side of the landing threshold

quiz me on – Met Exam 1

What are the flight conditions like above an inversion?
Good visibility, smooth air above the inversion but wind shear and turbulence is usually experienced descending through the inversion layer.
What is QNH?
The air pressure at sea level. With QNH set on the altimeter subscale the altimeter will read height above sea level. 1013.2
What happens to the dewpoint of a parcel of air if the temperature remains constant but the water content is increased?
The dew point will increase because there will be a higher relative humidity.
