Q

What is precession as it pertains to gyroscopes

A

Procession is a tilting or turning of a gyro in response to a deflective force, this Force when applied occurs at a 90° point later in the direction of rotation

Q

Inclinometer general functions

A

Used to depict aircraft yaw. during coordinated straight and level flight, the force of gravity causes the ball to rest in the lowest part of the tube centered between the reference lines.

Q

Attitude indicator general principles of function

A

Depicts miniature aircraft as in relation to the horizon. The gyro is mounted in a horizontal plane, the bar is fixed to the gyro and remains in horizontal plane as he aircraft is pitched or banked about its lateral a longitudinal axis. The aircraft actually rotates around the spinning gyro.

Q

Diluted demand oxygen system

A

supply oxygen only when the user inhales through the mask. Can mix cabin air an oxygen or supply 100% oxygen. Tight seal and can be used up to 40,000 ft

Q

Pressure demand oxygen system

A

Similar to diluted except the oxygen is supplied to the mask under pressure at cabin altitudes above 34000 ft. Oxygen tight seal positive pressure which allows a uses lungs to be pressurized with oxygen. Safer at altitudes above 40000 feet.

Q

Continuous Flow oxygen system

A

Usually provided for passengers. Typically has a reservoir bag that collects oxygen from The continuous Flow oxygen system. Ambient air headed to the supplied oxygen during lesion after reserve back oxygen is depleted.

Q

Electric pulse demand oxygen system

A

Deliver Oxygen by detecting the individuals inhalation effort. Only provide oxygen during initial portion of inhalation. Can reduce the amount of oxygen needed by 50 to 85% since oxygen is not wasted.

Can create an illusion of being at a greater distance and height from the runway

23
Q

Fog illusion

A

Can create an illusion of pitching up

24
Q

Federal aviation regulations pertaining to drugs

A

61.53

Prohibited acting as pic four non medical conditions or taking medication or receiving another treatment whichresults in the person being unable to meet the requirements for the medical certificate necessary for the pilot operation

91.17

prohibits the use of any drug that affects the person’s faculties in any way contrary to safety

25
Q

Actions during a decompression sickness emergency

A

Put on oxygen if available switch to 100%
Being an emergency descent and landing soon as possible even if the symptoms disappeared during descent
If one of the symptoms of joint pain keep the affected area still
Apollo landing seek medical assistance from an FAA medical officer a m a military flight surgeon or a hyperbaric medicine specialist
Treatment may involve the use of a hyperbaric chamber

26
Q

Wait times after scuba diving

A

Altitudes of up to 8,000 feet is 12 hours after diving that does not require controlled ascend, and at least 24 hours after diving that does require controlled descent.

Waiting time before going to flight altitudes above 8000 feet should be at least 24 hours after scuba

27
Q

Pave checklist is for?

A

Hey wait a mitigating risk

28
Q

P in the pave checklist

Stress
Alcohol (less then .04%bac or 8 hours bottle to throttle)
Fatigue
Emotion
29
Q

A in the pave checklist

A

You asked yourself:

Right aircraft for the flight
Familiar and current in the circuit
Remember performance figures based on new aircraft
is the aircraft equipped for the flight? instruments? lights navigation and communication equipment?
Can this aircraft use a runway available for the trip?
Can the aircraft carrier the plan load?
Can the aircraft operate at the altitudes required?
Does this aircraft have sufficient fuel capacity for the legs planned?
Does the fuel quantity delivered match the fuel quantity ordered?

check the air space and temporary flight restrictions along the route of flight

Nighttime
Be prepared to fly IFR
