26
Q

You are lost.. what should you do?

A 
Confess
Climb
Circle
Conserve
Communicate
27
Q

What is hyperventilation?

A

Too little carbon dioxide in blood

28
Q

What is spatial disorientation?

A

The brain not properly interpreting the signals it receives from the rest of the body

29
Q

What are the systems used to detect movement?

A

Vestibular- inner ear
Somatosensory- feeling with hands
visual system- eyes

30
Q

What is the leans?

A

Happens when you enter a banked turn too slowly.

You feel like you’re upright, but you’re actually turning.

31
Q

What is the Coriolis Illusion?

A

You stay in a constant turn long enough for the fluid in your ears to stop moving.

If you take a look elsewhere this could trick your brain into thinking your moving somewhere you’re not.

32
Q

What is graveyard spiral?

A

Stay in a turn long enough, fluid in ears stop moving. When you return to level flight you feel like your turning in the opposite direction so you return back to the previous turn. Aircraft loses altitude so you pitch up, back tightening the spiral

33
Q

What is somatogravic illusion?

A

Rapid acceleration (takeoff) makes you feel like your pitched up, so you pitch down

34
Q

What is inversion illusion?

A

Quick change from climb to level flight may trick you to think your tumbling backward

35
Q

What is elevator illusion?

A

Fast upward vertical acceleration (updraft) can trick you into being in a climb.

36
Q

What are the different definitions of night?

A

Sunset to sunrise - lights
Civil twilights - log flight time
1 hour after sunset to 1 hour before sunrise - currency
