Air Transport Pilot Chap 18 And Commercial Pilot Chap 6 Flashcards
Hypoxia is the result of which of these conditions?
Insufficient oxygen reaching the brain.
Example sentence: Loss of cabin pressure may result in hypoxia.
What causes Hypoxia?
A decrease of oxygen partial pressure.
Example sentence: Loss of cabin pressure may result in hypoxia.
Loss of cabin pressure may result in hypoxia because as cabin altitude increases
Oxygen partial pressure is decreased.
What is a symptom of Carbon Monoxide poisoning?
Dizziness.
Symptoms include: headache, drowsiness and dizziness.
What is the effect of alcohol consumption on functions of the body?
Alcohol has an adverse effect, especially as altitude increases.
Which is a common symptom of hyperventilation?
Tingling of the hands, legs and feet.
Which would most likely result in Hyperventilation?
A stressful situation causing anxiety.
Scanning procedures for effective collision avoidance should constitute
Looking outside for 15 seconds, then inside for 5 seconds, then repeat.
What is the most effective way to use the eyes during night flight?
Scan slowly to permit off-center viewing.
Which observed target aircraft would be of most concern with respect to collision avoidance?
One which appears to be ahead with no lateral or vertical movement and is increasing in size.
When using the Earth’s horizon as a reference point to determine the relative position of other aircraft, most concern would be for aircraft
On the horizon and increasing in size.
A pilot is more subject to spatial disorientation when
Body sensations are used to interpret flight altitudes.
Which procedure is recommended to prevent or overcome spatial disorientation?
Rely entirely on the indications of the flight instruments.
When making an approach to a narrower-than-usual runway, without VASI assistance, the pilot should be aware that the approach
Altitude may be lower than it appears.
While making prolonged constant rate turns under IFR conditions, an abrupt head movement can create the illusion of rotation on an entirely different axis. This is known as
Coriolis illusion
The illusion of being in a nose-up altitude which may occur during a rapid acceleration takeoff is known as
Somatogravic illusion
in the dark, a stationary light will appear to move when stared at for a period of time. This illusion is known as
Autokinesis
When making a landing over darkened or featureless terrain such as water or snow, a pilot should be aware of the possibility of illusion. The approach may appear to be too
High
Haze can give the illusion the the aircraft is
Farther from the runway than it actually is.
Sudden penetration of fog can create the illusion of
Pitching up
What illusion, if any, can rain on the windscreen create?
Higher than actual.
Hypoxia susceptibility due to inhalation of carbon monoxide increases as
Altitude increases.

Which is true regarding the presence of alcohol within the human body?
Judgement and decision-making abilities can be adversely affected by even small amounts of alcohol.
Which is a common symptom of hyperventilation?
Drowsiness
As hyperventilation progresses, a pilot can experience
Symptoms of suffocation and drowsiness.
To overcome the symptoms of hyperventilation, a pilot should
Slow the breathing rate.
Which would most likely result in hyperventilation?
Insufficient Carbon dioxide.
To best overcome the effects of spatial disorientation, a pilot should
rely on aircraft instrument indications.
To scan properly for traffic, a pilot should
use a series of short, regularly spaced eye movements that bring successive areas of the sky into the central visual field.
Aeronautical Decision Making (ADM) is a
Systematic approach to the mental process used by pilots to consistently determine the best course of action for a given set of circumstances.
Risk management, as part of the Aeronautical Decision making (ADM) process, relies on which features to reduce the risks associated with each flight?
Situational awareness, Problem recognition and good judgement.
The Aeronautical Decision Making (ADM) process identifies the steps involved in good decision making. One of these steps includes a pilot
Identifying personal attitudes hazardous to safe flight.
An early part of the Aeronautical Decision Making (ADM) process involves
taking a self-assessment hazardous attitude inventory test.
What are some features that the Aeronautical Decision Making (ADM) process relies on to reduce the risks associated with each flight?
Situational awareness, Problem recognition and good judgement.

What are some examples of classic behavioral traps that experienced pilots may fall into?
Trying to complete a flight as planned, please passengers, meet schedules and demonstrate the “right stuff”.
Source: Classic behavioral traps for pilots
What can the basic drive for a pilot to demonstrate the “right stuff” lead to?
Generating tendencies that lead to practices that are dangerous, often illegal, and may lead to mishap.
Source: Aeronautical Decision Making (ADM) process
What are some dangerous tendencies or behavior problems that pilots must identify and eliminate?
Peer pressure, get-there-itis, loss of positional or situational awareness, and operating without adequate fuel reserves.
Source: Aeronautical Decision Making (ADM) process
What are some of the hazardous attitudes dealt with in Aeronautical Decision Making (ADM)?
Antiauthority (don’t tell me), impulsivity (do something quickly w/o thinking), macho (I can do it).
Source: Aeronautical Decision Making (ADM) process
Which reaction best illustrates the ANTIAUTHORITY attitude in a given situation?
Those reservation rules do not apply to this flight.
Source: Aeronautical Decision Making (ADM) process
Which reaction best illustrates the IMPULSIVITY attitude in a given situation?
They want to hurry and get going before things get worse.
Source: Aeronautical Decision Making (ADM) process
Which reaction best illustrates the INVULNERABILITY attitude in a given situation?
What is the worst that could happen?
Source: Aeronautical Decision Making (ADM) process
Which reaction best illustrates the MACHO attitude in a given situation?
He closer flies a little closer, just to show him.
Source: Aeronautical Decision Making (ADM) process
Which reaction best illustrates the RESIGNATION attitude in a given situation?
Well, nobody told him about the extra weight.
Source: Aeronautical Decision Making (ADM) process
How can attitudes that contribute to poor pilot judgment be effectively counteracted?
By redirecting that hazardous attitude, so that appropriate action can be taken.
Source: Aeronautical Decision Making (ADM) process
What is the first step in neutralizing a hazardous attitude in the ADM process?
Recognition of hazardous thoughts.
Source: Aeronautical Decision Making (ADM) process
What should a pilot do when recognizing a thought as hazardous?
Label the thought as hazardous, then correct the thought by stating the corresponding learned antidote.
Source: Aeronautical Decision Making (ADM) process
What is the antidote for ANTIAUTHORITY in the ADM process?
Don’t tell me. Follow the rules. They are usually right.
Source: Aeronautical Decision Making (ADM) process
What is the antidote for MACHO in the ADM process?
Taking chances is foolish.

What does cockpit stress management begin with?
Good life stress management.
Source: Cockpit stress management
What must pilots do to help manage cockpit stress?
Condition themselves to relax and think rationally when stress appears.
