1. When may hazardous wind shear be expected?
A. When stable air crosses a mountain barrier where it tends to flow in layers forming lenticular clouds
B. Following frontal passage when stratocumulus clouds form indicating mechanical mixing.
C. In areas of low-level temperature inversion, frontal zones, and clear air turbulence.
D. In a tailing crosswind
2. You check the flight instruments while taxiing and find that the vertical speed indicator (VSI) indicates a descent of 100 feet per minute. In this case, you:

B. May not take off under IFR conditions
C. May take off under IFR conditions and use a 500’ descent as the zero indication
D. May take off in IFR conditions but must land in VFR conditions
3. While in level flight, if it becomes necessary to use an alternate source of static pressure vented inside the airplane, which of the following should you expect?
A. The altimeter will read lower than normal, airspeed will be greater than normal and VSI momentarily shows a climb
B. The altimeter will read higher than normal, airspeed will be greater than normal and VSI momentarily shows a climb
C. The altimeter will read lower than normal, airspeed will be less than normal and VSI momentarily shows a descent
D. The altimeter will read greater than normal, airspeed will be less than normal and VSI momentarily shows a descent
