IFR test question

Where did you get the question? It looks like an Aerocourse question.

As always, you must pick the "most correct" answer.

In the remarks section, it says "FG5" which means the obscuring
phenomenon is 5/8 fog. For an obscuring phenomenon to be considered a
ceiling it needs to be 8/8. Therefore the answer is c because 5/8 + 3/8
= 8/8.

John,
I did not know that it was a Canadian test question. You are
correct that FG5 means 5/8 fog according to this document

If not uncommon that in a multiple choice test, you can get the
right answer for the wrong reason ;-)

You can't, I can't! : )

They aren't 'tips'.
We just post what we buy and sell. In near real time.
But we never tell or advise anybody to try it.
What is best is when a discussion developes about 'why ' something is
bought.
I've learned a lot about investing from some of the people there.
