What this covers

Sample questions

A METAR reads in part: 3SM BR. What does this mean?

  1. Clouds at 3,000 ft with broken coverage
  2. Visibility 3 statute miles in light rain
  3. Visibility 3 nautical miles in haze
  4. Visibility 3 statute miles in mist
Show the answer

D. Visibility 3 statute miles in mist

SM is visibility in statute miles and BR is mist. Rain is RA and haze is HZ, while broken cloud is written BKN followed by a height.

Reference: AIM 7-1-28

A METAR reports the sky as FEW009 SCT020 BKN035 OVC050. What is the ceiling?

  1. 900 ft AGL
  2. 2,000 ft AGL
  3. 3,500 ft AGL
  4. 5,000 ft AGL
Show the answer

C. 3,500 ft AGL

The ceiling is the lowest layer reported as broken or overcast (or a vertical visibility). Few and scattered layers do not make a ceiling, so it is the BKN035 layer at 3,500 ft AGL.

Reference: AIM 7-1-28; FAA-H-8083-28

Which METAR temperature and dew point group, taken at dusk with calm wind, most suggests fog will form overnight?

  1. 30/15
  2. 24/08
  3. 14/13
  4. 14/M02
Show the answer

C. 14/13

The group gives temperature and dew point in degrees Celsius. A spread of only 1 degree means the air is nearly saturated, and overnight cooling can bring it to the dew point. M means minus, giving a wide spread.

Reference: FAA-H-8083-28, Fog; AIM 7-1-28
