Met Question

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!

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 !
