    Standard Lapse rate - 2c
  13. When is the most intense stage of a thunderstorm?
    The mature stage. Mature stage is signaled by the beginning of rainfall.
  14. How far should you avoid a thunderstorm?
    20 miles.
  15. How do you convert gallons to liters?
    X 3.785

    • Example:
    • 10 g x 3.785 = 37.85 L
  16. How do you convert liters to gallons?
    Divide by 3.785

    Example:

    40 L / 3.785 = 10.56
  17. How do you convert kilos to pounds?
    Multiply by 2.2046

    • Example
    • 10 K x 2.2046 = 22.046
  18. How do you convert pounds to kilogram?
    Divide by 2.2046

    Example:

    22 lbs / 2.2046 = 9.979
  19. How do you convert Fahrenheit to Celsius?
    Good to bad - minus and divide 32 is always closest to F

    (F-32)/1.8=C

    • 60-32=28
    • 28/1.8=15.55c
  20. How do you convert Celsius to Fahrenheit?
    Bad to good multiple and add. 32 always closest to F

    • Cx1.8+32=f
    • 20x1.8=36
    • 36+32=68
  21. What airspace is between 18000 and 60000
    Class A
  22. What airspace is below 18000
    Class E
  23. How long are holding legs
    • 1 minute 14000 ft and Below
    • 1.5 minutes above 14000 ft
  24. What does heavy mean for a call sign?
    Greater than 300,000 lbs
  25. When do you have to notify ATC that your average true AirSpeed has changed?
    5% or 10 knots
  26. What is cost index
    • It gives the ratio between the unit cost of time in the unit cost fuel.
    • A low-cost index will result in a lower fuel burn but a longer amount of time.
    • A high cost index or result in higher fuel burn but less time steeper climb and faster descent.
