1. What do the groups 19/12 A3002 at the end of a METAR report?
- A.Temperature 19 C, visibility 12 SM, pressure altitude 3,002 ft
- B.Temperature 19 C, dew point 12 C, altimeter 30.02 inHg
- C.Temperature 19 F, dew point 12 F, altimeter 3,002 ft
- D.Dew point 19 C, temperature 12 C, altimeter 30.02 inHg
Answer: B. METAR temperature and dew point are reported in degrees Celsius, temperature first. The A group is the altimeter setting in inches of mercury, so A3002 is 30.02 inHg.

2. A remote pilot plans to fly at 350 ft AGL inside the shaded magenta vignette near a nontowered airport, well clear of any surface area. Which airspace is the aircraft in?
- A.Class E airspace beginning at 700 ft AGL
- B.Class E airspace from the surface
- C.Class D airspace
- D.Class G airspace
Answer: D. The magenta vignette shows Class E airspace with a floor of 700 ft AGL, so the airspace below 700 ft AGL is Class G. At 350 ft AGL the aircraft is in Class G and needs no ATC authorization.

3. At 0500 local on a clear night with calm wind, a valley airport reports 08/07. What should a remote PIC planning a dawn flight expect?
- A.Radiation fog forming as the spread closes
- B.Advection fog driven by strong onshore winds
- C.Thunderstorms forming from strong surface heating
- D.Clear skies, because calm winds prevent fog
Answer: A. A 1 C temperature and dew point spread on a clear, calm night favors radiation fog in low areas as the ground cools. Advection fog needs wind moving moist air over a cooler surface.

4. A Class B segment on a sectional chart is labeled 70 over 40. What do these numbers mean?
- A.Ceiling 7,000 ft AGL; floor 4,000 ft AGL
- B.Floor 7,000 ft MSL; ceiling 4,000 ft MSL
- C.Ceiling 7,000 ft MSL; floor 4,000 ft MSL
- D.Radius of 7 NM; ceiling of 4,000 ft MSL above the airport
Answer: C. Class B and Class C segments show the ceiling over the floor in hundreds of feet MSL. The ceiling is the top of that segment and the floor is its base, so 70 over 40 means 7,000 ft MSL down to 4,000 ft MSL.

5. Which statement about controlled firing areas is correct?
- A.They require ATC authorization to enter while the area is active
- B.They exist only over international waters
- C.They are not charted; activity stops when aircraft approach
- D.They are charted as magenta hatched areas
Answer: C. Controlled firing areas are not charted because spotters or radar suspend the hazardous activity whenever an aircraft approaches (AIM 3-4-8). They need no permission or ATC authorization, and warning areas are the special use airspace found over international waters.
