Ch 6 - Aeronautical Factors & ADM - Questions 587 - 630 Flashcards
Which statement best define hypoxia?
A state of oxygen deficiency in the body
Which is not a type of hypoxia?
Hypertoxic
Which of the following is a correct response to counteract the feelings of hypoxia in flight?
Promptly descend to a lower altitude
A pilot making a blood donation in order to help a sick associate should be aware that for several weeks
Sufficient oxygen may not reach the cells in the body
Anemic (hypemic) hypoxia has the same symptoms as hypoxic hypoxia, but it is mist often a result of
A leaking exhaust manifold
Altitude-induced hypoxia is caused by what atmospheric condition?
Insufficient partial pressure of the inhaled oxygen
A piot should be bale to overcome the symptoms or avoid future occurrences of hyperventilation by
Slowing the breathing rate, breathing into a bag, or talking aloud
Rapid or extra deep breathing while using oxygen can cause a condition known as
Hyperventialltion
When a stressful situation is encountered in flight, an abnormal increase in the volume of air breathed in an out can cause a condition known as
Hyperventilation
Which would most likely result in hyperventilation?
`Emotional tension, anxiety or fear
A pilot experience the effects of hyperventilation should be able to restore the proper carbon dioxide level in the body by
Slowing the breathing, breathing into a paper bag, or talking aloud
Which is a common symptom of hyperventilation?
Tingling Sensations
Pilots are more subject to spatial disorientation if
They ignore the sensations of muscles and inner ear
If a pilot experiences spatial disorientation during flight in a restricted visibility condition, the best way to overcome the effect is to
Rely upon the aircraft instrument indications
A lack of orientation with regard to the position, altitude, or movement of the aircraft in space is defined as
Spatial Disorientation
A state of temporary confusion resulting from misleading information being sent to the brain by various sensory organs is defined as
Spatial Disorientation
The danger of spatial disorientation during flight in poor visual conditions may be reduced by
Having faith in the instruments rather than taking a chance on the sensory organs
Which technique should a pilot use to scan for traffic to the right and left during straight-and-level flight?
Systematically focus on different segments of the sky for short intervals
What effect does haze have on the ability to see traffic or terrain features during flight?
All traffic or terrain features appear to be farther away than their actual distance
What preparation should a pilot make to adapt the eyes for night flying?
Avoid bright white lights at least 30 mins before the flight
What is the most effective way to use the eyes during night flight?
Scan slowly to permit off-centre viewing
The best method to use when looking for other traffic at night is
Look to the code of the object and scan slowly
The illusion associated with landing on a narrower than usual runway may result in the pilot flying a
Tower approach with the risk of striking objects along the approach path or landing short
Large accumulations of carbon monoxide in the human body result in
Loss of muscular power
Susceptibility to carbon monoxide poisoning increases as
Altitude increases
What is correct response if an exhaust leak were to be deterred while in flight?
Open air vents or windows
Effects of carbon monoxide poison include
Dizziness, blurred vision and loss of muscle power
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
What often leads to spatial disorientation or collision with ground/obstacles when flying under Visual Flight Rules (VFR)?
Continual flight into instrument conditions
What is one the neglected items when a pilot relies on short and long term memory for repetitive tasks?
Checklists
Hazardous altitudes occur to every pilot ti some degree at some time. What are some of these hazardous altitudes?
Antiauthority, impulsivity, macho, resignation and invulnerability
In the aeronautical decision making (ADM) process, what is the first step in neutralizing a hazardous altitude?
Recognizing hazardous thoughts
What is the antidote when a pilot has a hazardous altitude, such as “Antiauthority”?
Follow the rules
WhWhat is the antidote when a pilot has a hazardous altitude, such as “Impulsivity”?
Not so fast, think first
What is the antidote when pilot has the hazardous altitude of “Invulnerability”?
It could happen to me
What is the antidote when pilot has a hazardous altitude, such as “Macho”?
Taking chances is foolish
What is the antidote when a pilot has a hazardous altitude, such as “Resignation”?
I am not helpless
Who is responsible for determining wether a pilot is fit to fly for a particular flight, even though he or she holds a current medical certificate?
The pilot
What is one common factor which affects most preventable accidents?
Human error
What antidotal phrase can help reverse the hazardous altitude of impulsivity?
Not so fast, think first
The most important key to risk management is
Management of external pressures
One purpose of crew resource management (CRM) is to give crew tools to
Recognize and mitigate hazards
