I have answered 97 questions about flight environment, and I’m stuck with those three. I have read the book and every website that I might find answers, but I couldn’t find any. If you have the knowledge, I would be really grateful if you can help me. Thanks in advance. They are multiple choice, and that's why they are confusing.

1. During the preflight, you discover a thin coating of frost about the roughness of medium sandpaper only on the outboard section of the pilot’s side wing. If you had missed this contamination and had attempted to take off, the aircraft would have probably:

a) Flown fine
b) Had a roll upset
c) Had a pitch upset



2. You are the captain of a light jet flying with a new FO. After completing his preflight inspection, the FO joins you in the cockpit and announces that the aircraft looks clean except for some loose ice on the fuselage above the cabin door. Should you be concerned?

a) No, the fuselage is not a critical surface
b) No, the ice will blow off on the takeoff roll
c) Yes, ice could be ingested into an engine


3. You are flying a light jet for a fractional airline. You fuel up using fuel from trucks that sat out overnight in the below freezing temperatures. The outside air is relatively warm +8ºC and very moist from a recent warm front passage. Should you be concerned about frost?

a) No, frost is not a hazard for jets
b) No, frost cannot form under these conditions
c) Yes, under these conditions, frost could form on engine inlets and instrument probes but not on the wings
d) Yes, under these conditions, frost could form on the wings
