All of the following can be found on a Pilot Chart EXCEPT information concerning the _______________.

A percentage of frequency of wave heights
B percentage of poor visibility conditions
C sea surface temperatures
D amounts of precipitation
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) amounts of precipitation. Pilot Charts provide detailed information about oceanographic and meteorological conditions in various maritime regions, including data on wind speeds and directions, percentage of frequency of wave heights, percentage of poor visibility conditions, and sea surface temperatures. However, Pilot Charts do not contain information about amounts of precipitation, as this data is typically found in separate weather forecast resources. The other answer choices (A, B, and C) are all types of information that can be found on Pilot Charts, which is why they are incorrect.
