Met Question

[Chuffer Chadley]

Ladies and Gents

Here's a bit of a teaser- I found this question in the samples on the Jar website. I'm not sure what they're getting at:

30. You intend carrying out a VFR flight over the Alps on a fine and hot summer day. What is the best time to go?

a) Early evening
b) Afternoon
c) Midday
d) Morning

Any ideas? I imagine it's something to do with turbulence building due to insolation, and might be tempted to plump for answer d.

Suggestions, Please!

CC:ok:

[VFE]

ANS: Morning.

The CAA reckon the questions on the website are no longer in the bank but a couple of the POF ones have shown up in recent exams.

VFE.

agreed VFE, ANS : morning, reasons thermal and anabatic turbulence, and CB build ups in the afternoon, oh and the mountains look nicest just after sunrise ! :cool:
