Question 136-36 : At a certain position the temperature on the 300 hpa chart is 48°c .according to the tropopause chart the tropopause is at fl 330 .what is the most likely temperature at fl 350 ?

54°c

Admin .300 hpa = fl300.gap between fl300 and fl330 is 3000 ft .the decrease in temperature per 1000 feet is 2°c .at fl330 temperature is . 48°c + 6° = 54°c .tropopause is at fl330 and the temperature remains constant above the tropopause so at fl350 54°c exemple 376 -54°c.

Question 136-37 : Which fl corresponds with the 200 hpa pressure level ?

Fl 390

Admin .there is a few questions in the exam that take information directly from that table below write these down on a sticky and have them on the wall beside you .1013 hpa = msl.850 hpa = fl50.700 hpa = fl100.500 hpa = fl180.300 hpa = fl300.200 hpa = fl390.any others you can interpolate between these and figure it out .the decrease of 1hpa/27ft is only applicable at the lower levels of the troposphere as you go up and air pressure decreases the change of height per 1 hpa increases at msl 1hpa/27ft at fl180 it's 50ft/hpa and at fl390 it's 105ft/hpa exemple 380 Fl 390.

Question 136-38 : What is the approximate vertical interval which is equal to a pressure change of 1 hpa at an altitude of 5500 m ?

15 m 50 ft

V.the decrease of 1 hpa/27ft is only applicable at the lower levels of the troposphere as you go up and air pressure decreases the change of height per 1 hpa increases at msl 1 hpa/27ft at fl180 it's 50 ft/hpa and at fl390 it's 105 ft/hpa .fl180 = 18000 ft = approximately 5500 m exemple 384 15 m (50 ft).

Question 136-39 : The temperature at fl 140 is 12°c what will the temperature be at fl 110 if the icao standard lapse rate is applied ?

6°c

Admin .the temperature lapse rates of the troposphere is mean value 0 65°c/100 m or 2°c/1000 ft .in isa temperature at fl140 should be 15° 2x14 = 13°c .as the current temperature at that level is 12°c you can say that at fl140 it is currently isa+1 .therefore at fl110 15° 2x11 = 7°c +1 from isa+1 = 6°c exemple 388 -6°c.

Question 136-40 : If atmospheric conditions exist such that the temperature deviation is isa +10°c in the lower troposphere up to 18000 ft what is the actual layer thickness between fl 60 and fl 120 ?

6240 ft

Admin .the following rules shall be considered for altimetry calculations . the value for the barometric lapse rate near mean sea level is 27 ft 8 m per 1 hpa . to determine the true altitude/height the following rule of thumb called the '4% rule' shall be used the altitude/height changes by 4% for each 10°c temperature deviation from isa ..the air mass is hotter than isa density is lower and layer must be thicker than 6000 ft .4% x 1 x 6000 = 240 ft .6000 + 240 = 6240 ft exemple 392 6240 ft.
