9 An aircraft is flying over the Alps on a warm summer's day. The weather is fine, and
there is a high pressure system in the area. During the flight, a mountain is passed at
an altitude of its summit. What reading will the aneroid altimeter give, compared to the
summit's elevation?

There is insufficient information to come to a conclusion

A lower altitude than the elevation of the summit

The same altitude as the elevation of the summit

A higher altitude than the elevation of the summit

34 On the approach, the surface temperature is given as -5°C. The freezing level is at 3000
FT/AGL. At 4000 FT/AGL, there is a solid cloud layer from which rain is falling.
According to the weather briefing, the clouds are due to an inversion caused by warm
air sliding up and over an inclined front. Would you expect icing?

No, flights clear of cloud experience no icing.

No, absolutely no icing will occur.

Yes, but only between 3000 and 4000 FT/AGL.

Yes, between ground level and 3000 FT/AGL.
