The Australian Aviation Theory Forum is a place for student pilots to ask questions, discuss CASA theory exams and share knowledge about RPL/PPL, CPL, IREX and recreational aviation study.
Just got a few questions about Pages 5.8-5.10 in the June 2010 Met book.
Page 5.8 has the question in 'interpreting the chart' asking how many col's there are in the given MSL chart. I cant determine the exact location of this col and was wondering if somebody could point it out.

Hi 172,
The col is at point C. Remember a col sits between two highs and two lows.
There is a high marked off the QLD coast, the other high is at point B (it has a ridge extending M->N). There is a Low marked south west of Darwin and the other is south of Tassie (marked A).
You can also confirm that C is the col because the isobars are convex to it and the isobars are the same on opposite sides (check out the 1016 mb isobar lines to confirm this).
Cheers,
Rich
Much thanks Richard.
