Emergencies, Hazards, and Flight Physiology Flashcards
You have just landed in the rain on a narrower-than-usual runway at night. You realize you have just experienced
an atmospheric height illusion
An experienced pilot mistakes the runway heading for the instructed heading for departure. What kind of error is this?
Detection Error
You should advice ATC of minimum fuel status when your fuel supply has reached a state where, upon reaching your destination, you cannot accept any undue delay.
If your remaining usable fuel supply suggests the need for traffic priority to ensure a safe landing, declare an emergency due to low fuel report fuel raining in minutes.
A pilot is holding at an initial approach fix after having experienced two-way radio failure. When should that pilot begin descent for the instrument approach?
At the EFC time as amended by ATC
CRM training refers to
the three components of initial indoctrination awareness, recurrent practice and feedback, and continual reinforcement.
The illusion associated with landing on a narrower than usual runway may result in the pilot flying a
lower approach with the risk of striking objects along the approach path or landing short
In order to achieve the highest level of safety
each crew member must carefully monitor the aircraft’s flight path.
When a recently certificated pilot decides to not wait any longer for the fog and low ceilings to burn off, this pilot may be exhibiting the hazardous
impulsive attitude
After experiencing two-way radio communications failure en route, when should a pilot begin the descent for the instrument approach?
Upon arrival at an any initial approach fix for the IAP but not before the flight plan ETA as amended by ATC.
Penetrating fog while flying an approach at night, you might experience the illusion of
pitching up.
What is the most fatal (in number) phase of flight
APPROACH
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 apple to be too
high
What is a symptom of carbon monoxide poisoning?
Dizzinesss
When making an approach to a narrow runway, without a VASI, the pilot should be aware that the approach
altitude may be lower than it appears.
The most important key to risk management is
management of external pressures
What wind condition prolongs the hazards of wake turbulence on a landing runway for the longest period of time?
light quartering tailwind
If a pilot being radar vectored in IFR conditions and loses radio comms with ATC, what action should be taken?
Flying direct to a fix, route, or airway specified in the vector clearance.
An experienced pilot trying to meet a schedule
can fail to perceive operational pitfalls
Sleep inertia refers to a period of
impaired performance following awakening from a regular sleep cycle or nap.
