General Flashcards
What should a pilot do when recognizing a thought as hazardous?
Label the thought as hazardous and then correct that thought by stating the corresponding antidote
What is the antidote for an anti authority hazardous attitude?
follow the rules
Acute fatigue that occurs as a result of application to a learning task may be evident by a student’s apparent
errors in timing
Chronic fatigue as a result of physiological problems and/or psychological issues may be evidenced by a student pilot’s apparent
unwarranted risk taking as a result of impaired judgment
Which is a sign of acute fatigue?
Lack of awareness of error accumulation
Fatigue is such a treacherous hazard to flight safety because
it may not be apparent to a pilot before serious errors are made
Chronic fatigue
is a combination of both physiological problems and psychological issues
Chronic fatigue
Occurs when there is not enough time for a full recovery from repeated episodes of acute fatigue
Acute fatigue is
characterized by error accumulation, inattention, and distractibility
Acute fatigue
manifests itself by performance deficiencies that are apparent to others before the individual notices any physical signs of fatigue
Recovery from chronic fatigue requires
a prolonged and delibrate solution that mitigates the underlying physiological/psychological cause
Ignoring minimum fuel reserve requirements is generally the result of overconfidence, disregarding applicable regulations, or
lack of flight planning
A sign that a student may be experiencing acute fatigue is
lack of awareness of error accumulation
What are some characteristics of acute fatigue?
Errors in timing, inattention, and irritability
A sign that a pilot may be experiencing chronic fatigue is
impaired pilot judgment and decision making
