- (b) False. https://www.bom.gov.au/aviation/data/education/taf.pdf (A TAF can contain information on hazardous turbulence when present, in addition to turbulence associated with CB and TCU.)

- (c) AIP GEN 2.2-8, contaminated runway
- (c) Ground speed in Knots = 9 × √(tyre pressure in psi), pilotinstitute.com/aircraft-hydroplaning/ Explanation: Dynamic aquaplaning occurs when water pressure builds up a ‘wedge’ that lifts the tyre off the runway surface. A lower tyre pressure results in a larger footprint and less resistance to this upward water pressure. This causes the tyre to be supported by the water film at a lower speed (a lower critical speed), thereby increasing the vulnerability to aquaplaning during the landing roll.

- (a) BOM Graphical Area Forecast and Airmet User Guide: Para 6.1 Issuance – Cloud, Pg 36. The criterion for issuing an AIRMET regarding cloud cover is a change to broken (BKN) or overcast (OVC) with a base below 1,500 feet above ground level (AGL). https://www.bom.gov.au/aviation/data/education/GAF-user-guide.pdf
