Hi - I was doing a mock test in prep for the PPL Met exam and tehre was one question that I was sure I had right but it's been marked wrong and I don't know why. Any wise heads able to help?
You are flying to an airfield on the east coast, to arrive early afternoon and you suspect a sea breeze will be blowing when you arrive. What is the most likely direction of the surface wind just after the sea breeze has reached the airfield?
A - 350 deg
B - 100 deg
C - 260 deg
D - 290 deg
In the afternoon a sea breeze will be blowing from sea to land. As the airfield is on the east my assumption is that it would be blowing on a westerly heading, closest match 100 deg. I was marked incorrect and the right answer was 260 deg.
Help, I don't understand!
