During the preflight inspection who is responsible for determining the aircraft is safe for flight?
The Pilot in Command. 14 CFR Part 107.49 discusses the responsibilities of the rPIC when it comes to preflight familiarization, inspection, and actions for aircraft operation, including inspecting the sUAS.

Before each flight. 14 CFR Part 107.49 discusses the responsibilities of the rPIC when it comes to preflight familiarization, inspection, and actions for aircraft operation, including inspecting the sUAS. Inspections should be done prior to each flight.

See lessWhat feature is normally associated with the cumulus stage of a thunderstorm?
Continuous updraft. There are three phases to a thunderstorm, Cumulus stage (where the storm builds up), the Mature stage (greatest intensity, lots of updraft, rain hitting the ground), and the Dissipating stage (predominantly downdraft and the storm dies down).

Freezing rain. Freezing rain has a tendency to freeze on impact on the aircraft and will have the highest rate of accumulation.

See lessOne of the most easily recognized discontinuities across a front is
a change in temperature. Because the two air masses that are colliding have different temperatures and different characteristics, they also tend to have different wind directions, so crossing a front will almost always lead to a change in wind direction and a change in temperature.
