Across
  1. 1. : Height above ground of a broken or overcast cloud layer.
  2. 2. ICING : Icing that restricts air entering intake manifold.
  3. 3. : Updraft illusion—pilot feels aircraft is climbing and pushes nose down.
  4. 6. : Stationary lights at night appear to move—pilot may lose control trying to align.
  5. 10. ALOFT FORECAST : Issued twice daily showing wind direction, speed, and temperature aloft.
  6. 11. : Issued for severe turbulence or icing not related to thunderstorms.
  7. 12. ANALYSIS CHART : Depicts pressure systems, fronts, and weather—valid for 3 hours.
  8. 14. ICE : Combination of rime and clear ice.
  9. 17. BRIEFING : Requested when departure is more than 6 hours away.
  10. 19. ICING : Ice forming on wings, propellers, or tail surfaces.
  11. 20. : TAF code for temporary weather lasting less than one hour.
  12. 21. : Inner ear system that senses pitch, roll, and yaw.
  13. 23. BRIEFING : Update to existing weather information or supplement to broadcasts.
  14. 24. WEATHER PROG CHART : Forecast of icing, freezing levels, turbulence—valid 12 & 24 hrs.
  15. 25. : Inability of red blood cells to carry oxygen—often caused by carbon monoxide poisoning.
  16. 26. : TAF code for gradual weather change over one hour.
  17. 28. FORECAST : Weather forecast for larger region—includes synopsis, VFR clouds, and outlook.
  18. 32. : Abrupt recovery from a roll makes pilot feel like turning opposite direction.
  19. 33. TANGO : Advises of moderate turbulence or surface winds over 30 knots.
  20. 37. ICE : Large supercooled droplets freeze slowly—smooth and hard to detect.
  21. 38. : Rapid acceleration causes illusion of nose-up attitude.
  22. 40. : Occurs when oxygen is not available at adequate pressure for the lungs to absorb.
  23. 41. : Type of hypoxia caused by poor circulation, such as during excessive G-forces.
  24. 42. : Routine aviation weather report issued hourly and valid for one hour.
  25. 44. SUMMARY CHART : Displays areas of precipitation and echo tops—valid for 1 hour.
  26. 45. : Probability indicator for weather occurrence in TAF.
Down
  1. 1. SIGMET : Issued for thunderstorms, hail ≥ ¾ inch, or winds ≥ 50 knots.
  2. 4. : Abnormally fast breathing reducing CO₂—causes dizziness or fainting.
  3. 5. ICING : Ice that affects pitot tube or static ports causing faulty readings.
  4. 7. : Terminal Aerodrome Forecast—issued every six hours, valid for 24–30 hours.
  5. 8. : “Seat of the pants” sense detecting acceleration and turns.
  6. 9. ICE : Small droplets freeze on impact—white and rough texture.
  7. 13. : Rapid head movement illusion—feeling of turning or accelerating.
  8. 15. : Enroute Flight Advisory Service giving real-time weather to pilots enroute.
  9. 16. : A state of oxygen deficiency in the body (AIM 8-1-2).
  10. 18. DEPICTION CHART : Graphical METAR data showing surface conditions—valid for 8 hours.
  11. 22. SIERRA : Advises of IFR or mountain obscuration.
  12. 27. : Abrupt altitude change creates illusion of tumbling backward.
  13. 29. ZULU : Advises of moderate icing and freezing levels.
  14. 30. : Cells’ inability to use available oxygen, often caused by drugs or alcohol.
  15. 31. HORIZON : Sloping clouds or obscured horizons cause misalignment with true horizon.
  16. 34. ICE : Ice formed inside the carburetor venturi due to fuel vaporization and pressure drop.
  17. 35. : TAF code for rapid weather change within one hour.
  18. 36. : Body system using eyes and light to maintain orientation.
  19. 39. SPIRAL : Prolonged turn causes pilot to lose sense of motion and tighten spiral.
  20. 43. BRIEFING : Full weather briefing before flight when no previous info gathered.
