UAV-Q0601. How many feet is 100 meters?
Explanation
Using the formula ft = m × 3.28084: 100 m × 3.28084 ≈ 328.08 feet, closest to 328 feet.
UAV-Q0602. About how many feet is 60 meters?
Explanation
Using the formula ft = m × 3.28084: 60 m × 3.28084 ≈ 196.85 feet, closest to 200 feet.
UAV-Q0603. The atmosphere is a mixture composed of ______.
Explanation
The atmosphere contains clouds, rain, and dust: it is a mixture of air, water vapor, and liquid or solid impurities.
UAV-Q0604. The troposphere is named for its strong convective air motion. Its lower boundary is the ground, and its upper boundary height varies with latitude, season, weather, and other factors. In the same region, tropopause height is
Explanation
The higher the surface temperature, the stronger the convection and the higher the tropopause. Therefore it is higher in summer than in winter, and higher at the equator than at the poles.
UAV-Q0605. Flying above nimbostratus, a pilot sees a cloud tower protruding upward from dense cloud, its top extending above 9000 meters and blown by strong upper winds into a mane-like shape leaning to one side. He can conclude that within the stratiform cloud there must be:
Explanation
Cumulonimbus cloud towers rise high, with tops blown by strong upper winds into a mane-like shape, matching the description; altocumulus and false cirrus lack this feature.
UAV-Q0606. Regarding inversion layers, which statement is correct?
Explanation
An inversion layer is a stable air layer that suppresses air convection, so pollutants do not disperse easily and visibility below it is poor. Option A is wrong (density changes have little flight effect); option C is wrong (in an inversion layer, temperature rises with height).
UAV-Q0607. The large-scale climate feature associated with an inversion layer is
Explanation
In an inversion layer, air is cold below and warm above, in a stable state, so it is a stable air layer.
UAV-Q0608. When circumnavigating thunderstorms outside clouds, an aircraft must stay no less than ______ from cumulonimbus and towering cumulus at night.
Explanation
According to regulations, when circumnavigating thunderstorms outside clouds at night, distance from cumulonimbus and towering cumulus must be no less than 10 km.
UAV-Q0609. Within the troposphere, air temperature
Explanation
Tropospheric air heat comes mainly from ground radiation; the farther from the ground, the less heating, so temperature decreases with increasing height.
UAV-Q0610. Within the atmosphere, atmospheric pressure
Explanation
The higher the pressure, the lower the density. Simple memory: under gravity, plateau air is thin and low-density, with lower pressure than plains.
