16 You cross a jet stream in horizontal flight at approximately right angles. While
crossing, in spite of a strong wind of 120 kt, you notice the temperature barely
changes. Which of the following statements is correct ?

This phenomenon does not surprise you at all, since normally no large
temperature differences are possible at these heights.

This phenomenon is absolutely normal as you are crossing the jet core.

Since the result of such readings seems impossible, you will have the instruments
tested after landing.

You assume the front associated with the jet stream to be very weak with
practically no temperature difference between the two air masses.
