Aeromedical Factors and Aeronautical Decision Making (ADM)

Question 1

Hazardous attitudes which contribute to poor pilot judgment can be effectively counteracted by

Answer 1

redirecting that hazardous attitude so that appropriate action can be taken.

Question 2

How many hours does it take the body to rid itself of all the alcohol contained in one beer ?

Answer 2

3 hours.

Question 3

When a pilot recognizes a hazardous thought, he or she then should correct it by stating the corresponding antidote. Which of the following is the antidote for MACHO?

Answer 3

Taking chances is foolish.

Question 4

Hypoxia is the result of which of these conditions?

Answer 4

Insufficient oxygen reaching the brain.

Question 5

The passengers for a charter flight have arrived almost an hour late for a flight that requires a reservation. Which of the following alternatives best illustrates the ANTIAUTHORITY reaction?

Answer 5

Those reservation rules do not apply to this flight.

Question 6

Which would most likely result in hyperventilation?

Answer 6

Insufficient carbon dioxide.

Question 7

What are the four types of Hypoxia ?

Answer 7

histotoxic, hypoxic, hypemic, and stagnant hypoxia.

Question 8

Rain on a windscreen can create the illusion of what ?

Answer 8

being a greater height from the runway

Question 9

Haze can create the illusion of what ?

Answer 9

being a greater distance from the runway

Question 10

An early part of the Aeronautical Decision Making (ADM) process involves

Answer 10

taking a self-assessment hazardous attitude inventory test.

Question 11

What are the 6 steps of the DECIDE model ?

Answer 11

detect, estimate, choose, identify, do, and evaluate.

Question 12

While conducting an operational check of the cabin pressurization system, the pilot discovers that the rate control feature is inoperative. He knows that he can manually control the cabin pressure, so he elects to disregard the discrepancy. Which of the following alternatives best illustrates the INVULNERABILITY reaction?

Answer 12

What is the worst that could happen?

Question 13

What are some of the hazardous attitudes dealt with in Aeronautical Decision Making (ADM)?

Answer 13

Antiauthority (don’t tell me),
impulsivity (do something quickly without thinking),
macho (I can do it).

Question 14

Aeronautical Decision Making (ADM) is a

Answer 14

systematic approach to the mental process used by pilots to consistently determine the best course of action for a given set of circumstances.

Question 15

What effect does haze have on the ability to see traffic or terrain features during flight?

Answer 15

All traffic or terrain features appear to be farther away than their actual distance.

Question 16

To help manage flight deck stress, pilots must

Answer 16

condition themselves to relax and think rationally when stress appears.

Question 17

Risk management, as part of the aeronautical decision making (ADM) process, relies on which features to reduce the risks associated with each flight?

Answer 17

Situational awareness, problem recognition, and good judgment.

Question 18

Hypoxia is a state of what ?

Answer 18

Oxygen deficiency.
