Q

Hypoxia

A

A lack of oxygen in the body that can be caused by decompression or unpressurized aircraft cabins at high altitudes. Other causes include oxygen system failure. Symptoms include headache, shortness of breath, palpitations, numbness, restlessness, and even euphoria.

Q

carbon monoxide poisoning

A

can be caused by equipment malfunction or cockpit contamination, such as an exhaust leak in a light airplane heater. Symptoms include headache, dizziness, blurred vision, drowsiness, and muscle weakness.

Q

how to fix hypoxia

A

Check your equipment:
Make sure the regulator is on, the flow indicator is working, and all connections are secure

Monitor your breathing:
Slow your breathing to avoid hyperventilation

Descend to a lower altitude:
If it’s safe, try to descend to an altitude below 10,000 feet where supplemental oxygen is no longer needed. depending on how high you are, you may need to declare an emergency.

Q

how to fix carbon monoxide poisoning

A
  1. Turn off the heat
  2. Open the vents
  3. Increase fresh air ventilation
  4. Open windows if possible
  5. Consider using supplemental oxygen
  6. Inform air traffic control

25
Q

It is the responsibility of the pilot and crew to report a near midair collision as a result of proximity of at least

A

500 feet or less to another aircraft

26
Q

FAA advisory circulars containing subject matter specifically related to Airmen are issued under which subject number?

A

60

27
Q

What is an advantage of a constant-speed propeller?

A

Permits the pilot to select the blade angle for the most efficient performance.

28
Q

If the ground wire between the magneto and the ignition switch becomes disconnected, the engine

A

could accidentally start if the propeller is moved with fuel in the cylinder.

29
Q

If an aircraft is equipped with a fixed-pitch propeller and a float-type carburetor, the first indication of carburetor ice would most likely be

A

loss of RPM.

30
Q

How can a military airport be identified at night?

A

Dual peaked (two quick) white flashes between green flashes.

31
Q

What action can a pilot take to aid in cooling an engine that is overheating during a climb?

A

Reduce rate of climb and increase airspeed.

32
Q

If the ground wire between the magneto and the ignition switch becomes disconnected, the most noticeable result will be that the engine

A

cannot be shut down by turning the switch to the OFF position.

33
Q

One purpose of the dual ignition system on an aircraft engine is to provide for

A

improved engine performance.

34
Q

The operating principle of float-type carburetors is based on the

A

difference in air pressure at the venturi throat and the air inlet.

35
Q

What causes an airplane (except a T-tail) to pitch nosedown when power is reduced and controls are not adjusted?

A

The downwash on the elevators from the propeller slipstream is reduced and elevator effectiveness is reduced.

36
Q

The amount of excess load that can be imposed on the wing of an airplane depends upon the

A

speed of the airplane.

37
Q

Most training airplanes are designed so that the wing stall begins

A

At the wing root outward to the wing tip.

38
Q

Changes in the center of pressure of a wing affect the aircraft’s

A

aerodynamic balance and controllability.

39
Q

In what flight condition must an aircraft be placed in order to spin?

A

Stalled.

40
Q

What force makes an airplane turn?

A

The horizontal component of lift.

41
Q

During an approach to a stall, an increased load factor will cause the airplane to

A

stall at a higher airspeed.

42
Q

How does the wake turbulence vortex circulate around each wingtip?

A

Outward, upward, and around each tip.

43
Q

A precaution for the operation of an engine equipped with a constant-speed propeller is to

A

avoid high manifold pressure settings with low RPM.

44
Q

Pilots should develop an instrument cross-check technique that avoids excessive and abrupt movements to avoid

A

Spatial disorientation.

45
Q

The “runway hold position” sign denotes

A

an entrance to runway from a taxiway.

46
Q

If a pilot suspects that the engine (with a fixed-pitch propeller) is detonating during climb-out after takeoff, the initial corrective action to take would be to

A

lower the nose slightly to increase airspeed.

47
Q

If the engine oil temperature and cylinder head temperature gauges have exceeded their normal operating range, the pilot may have been operating with

A

too much power and with the mixture set too lean.

48
Q

The ‘yellow demarcation bar’ marking indicates

A

runway with a displaced threshold that precedes the runway.
