An example of a countermeasure that may be used by flight crew in order to manage threats, errors and undesired aircraft states is
[standard operating procedures].
The duration of a period of sleep is primarily governed by the
a.duration of your previous sleep
b.point within your circadian rhythm at which you try to sleep
c.number of points you have in your credit/deficit system
d.amount of time you have been awake

The 3 basic components of the Threat and Error Management (TEM) model are, from the perspective of flight crews, threats, errors and undesired aircraft states. With regard to errors, the TEM model
a.Considers three categories of errors namely, aircraft handling, procedural and communications
b.Distinguishes three classes or errors namely, operational, organisational and environmental
c.Recognises three types of human errors namely, anticipated, unanticipated and latent errors
d.Differentiates between three kinds of errors, namely aircraft handling, navigation and aircraft configuration
a.Considers three categories of errors namely, aircraft handling, procedural and communications
Blood pressure is normally measured in
[mmHg].
High altitude flight operations expose flight crew to increased levels of cosmic radiation. The four main factors influencing the level of radiation, in order of their relative importance, are
a.Altitude, latitude, normal solar activity and random solar activity (e.g. solar flares)
b.Latitude, altitude, space weather (e.g. solar storms) and the earth’s magnetic field
c.Altitude, latitude, solar activity (e.g. solar flares) and the ionosphere
d.Altitude, airspeed, the earth’s magnetic field and solar activity (e.g. solar flares)
a.Altitude, latitude, normal solar activity and random solar activity (e.g. solar flares)
How does the human body behave during the REM phase of sleep?
a.irregular heart beat
b.high brain activity
c.rapid breathing
d.no dream activity
b.high brain activity
Which of the following terms describe some of the different parts of the auditory system?
a.External ear, eardrum, malleus, incus, stapes and vestibular nerve
b.Ear canal, eustachian membrane, cochlea and auditory nerve
c.Ear canal, eardrum, tympanic cavity, cochlea and eustachian nerve
d.Auditory canal, eardrum, ossicles, cochlea and auditory nerve
d.Auditory canal, eardrum, ossicles, cochlea and auditory nerve
Monocular cues for depth perception include [ ],
[ ] and [ ].
[obscuration], [texture] [atmospheric perspective]
In Europe, the blood alcohol concentration level should be:
a.Below 0.02%, or less if company guidelines say otherwise, before flight briefings but not before flight operations
b.Below 0.02%, or less if company guidelines say otherwise, not necessarily before flight briefings but before flight operations
c.Below 0.02%, or less if company guidelines say otherwise, before flight briefings and also before flight operations
d.Below 0.02%, or less if company guidelines say otherwise, before landing after flight operations
c.Below 0.02%, or less if company guidelines say otherwise, before flight briefings and also before flight operations
Competence of an individual pilot is based on
a.focus, age and knowledge
b.rules, character and upbringing
c.age, skill and determination
d.knowledge, skill and ability
d.knowledge, skill and ability
Hypoxic hypoxia is caused by
a.reduced partial oxygen pressure in the lung
b.an increased number of red blood cells
c.reduced partial pressure of nitrogen in the lung
d.a higher affinity of the red blood cells (haemoglobin) to oxygen
a.reduced partial oxygen pressure in the lung
In a multi-pilot aircraft, what course of action should be taken in the event of a crew member becoming incapacitated during the flight?
a.continue as normal without taking any other action as one crew member can still land the aircraft
b.ensure that the upper torso restraint of the affected crew member is loosened to ensure unrestricted breathing
c.carry out a steep descent in the event of sinus or ear pain
d.declare an emergency to ensure priority landing at the nearest suitable aerodrome
d.declare an emergency to ensure priority landing at the nearest suitable aerodrome
The type of sunglasses that should be avoided whilst flying are [ ].
