Read the text and answer questions 25 and 26.
Does the weather forecast affect flights?
The weather forecast is a key element of the pilot’s preflight checks and flight crew will continually update their weather information throughout a flight. There are lots of types of weather to consider.
Fog, snow, ice and crosswind mean that air traffic controllers have to increase the gap between planes that are landing, reducing the number of aircraft that an airport can manage. The same weather can make it slower and more difficult for the planes to taxi between runway and terminal building.
As many commercial flights are cruising more than five miles above the ground, they can be affected by different weather than we are experiencing on the ground.
Safety is always the first consideration for the aviation industry.
An aircraft that’s stood overnight in freezing weather will need de-icing before its first flight in the morning. That’s a fairly big task.

🟨 QUESTÃO 26
According to the text, we can infer that ___________________.
🄰 snow, fog, ice and crosswind are climatic factors that directly influence the work of air traffic controllers.
🄱 controllers mustn’t reduce the time between landing aircraft in case of bad weather conditions.
🄲 weather conditions mainly affect airships on the ground.
🄳 the taxiing of an aircraft is never affected by weather.
🔐 Gabarito trancado (clique para revelar)
🧭 1️⃣ Leitura orientada
O texto afirma que fenômenos como fog, snow, ice and crosswind obrigam os controladores de tráfego aéreo a aumentar o espaçamento entre aeronaves durante o pouso, o que reduz a capacidade do aeroporto. Logo, o clima interfere diretamente no trabalho desses profissionais.
📝 2️⃣ Análise técnica das alternativas
(A) ✅ snow, fog, ice and crosswind are climatic factors that directly influence the work of air traffic controllers
O texto diz que essas condições forçam os controladores a aumentar o espaçamento entre aviões.
🚩 Pegadinha: o candidato pode achar que a influência é indireta, mas o verbo “have to increase the gap” indica ação direta.
(B) ❌ controllers mustn’t reduce the time between landing aircraft in case of bad weather conditions
O texto afirma o contrário: em mau tempo, eles aumentam o intervalo entre pousos.
🚩 Pegadinha: uso de modal (“mustn’t”) para inverter a lógica operacional descrita.
(C) ❌ weather conditions mainly affect airships on the ground
O texto menciona efeitos no solo, mas também em voo e em altitude de cruzeiro.
🚩 Pegadinha: palavra “mainly” restringe indevidamente um impacto que o texto apresenta como amplo.
(D) ❌ the taxiing of an aircraft is never affected by weather
O texto diz explicitamente que o mau tempo torna o taxiamento mais lento e difícil.
🚩 Pegadinha: advérbio absoluto “never”, clássico para contrariar informação textual direta.
🧠 Resumo Final
✔ Condições climáticas impactam decisões dos controladores de tráfego aéreo
✔ Mau tempo exige maior espaçamento entre aeronaves
✔ Leitura inferencial baseada em causa e efeito
🎯 Gabarito confirmado: (A)
