Checkride question.
What does the alternating red and blue line depict on a surface analysis chart?

That symbol represents a stationary front.

Fronts are defined by which air mass is advancing.
Cold front means the cold air mass is advancing.
Warm front means the warm air mass is advancing.

When neither air mass is really moving, the front becomes stationary.

Stationary fronts matter because the weather outcome is not obvious.
It depends on moisture content in the atmosphere.

With enough moisture, you can see clouds and precipitation.
Without it, the weather may stay quiet.

This is why surface analysis always comes first.

Checkride question.
What are the required IFR fuel reserves?

Now ask the better question... Is that enough?

Legal fuel does not account for holds, or stress, or comfort.

When weather deteriorates, margins matter.
