In reference to FRQ's exam question. I understand that the question is an ATPL question, however would that be similar to something you would get in the CPL met exam. I ask because I have studied CPL met now and thought I was ready to sit the exam (2 weeks booked) and havent the faintest clue about that question.

Don't worry, Roxy - I've sat and passed ATPL Met, and I still don't have any idea about that question! No, it isn't a question you'd find on a CPL Met exam.

"High to low down you go"
Works in three ways
-Altimeter error - if pressure or temperature decreasing altimeter will overread
-Jetstreams when southbound, decreasing temp=you'll go under it
Remember this - Lenticular cloud = Mountain wave turbulence. Sounds obvious but when I did it there was more then one correct answer to their question.
Work out where jet streams are in relation to the tropopause, I got a question wrong in the test when I answered "at the tropopause". I'm still not sure if they are slightly above or slightly below.

Also, I suspect that the third thing on the 'High to Low' list is about being lower than expected should you fail to change QNH, is that what you meant?
Last;

- in the trough between the lenticular clouds
- under the lenticular clouds

PS is anybody else sitting this in the near future?
