HPL Q10 - Perceptual Errors Flashcards
When stopping the rotation of a spin we have the sensation:
Select one:
-of turning in the same direction.
-of the sharp dipping of the nose of the aircraft.
-that we are starting a spin in the opposite direction.
-of the immediate stabilisation of the aircraft.
-that we are starting a spin in the opposite direction.
Which sense do we normally consider to be our most reliable?
[Vision]
The proprioceptors do not orient an individual to his or her surroundings, but informs him or her of:
Select one:
a.Their surroundings.
b.The condition of the body itself.
c.A touch on the skin.
d.The relative motion and relative position of his body parts.
d.The relative motion and relative position of his body parts.
When a pilot is staring at an isolated stationary light for several seconds in the dark, he might get the illusion that..
Select one:
a.The size of the light is varying.
b.The light is moving.
c.The colour of the light is varying.
d.The intensity of the light is varying.
b.The light is moving.
A shining light is fading out (i.e. when flying into fog, dust or haze). What kind of illusion could the pilot get?
Select one:
a.That the source of light stands still.
b.That the light source will make the pilot believe that he or she is climbing.
c.That the source of light is more distant.
d.That the source of light is drawing closer with increasing speed.
c.That the source of light is more distant.
Which of the following conditions can cause an approach to be too steep or too high?
a.Narrow runway or rain on the windscreen
b.Down-sloping or wide runway
c.Upsloping or narrow runway
d.Upsloping or wide runway
b.Down-sloping or wide runway
How will the size of an aircraft on a collision course with another aircraft appear to change?
[It will remain the same then increase rapidly prior to collision]
The somatogravic illusion gives the pilot a false impression of:
Select one:
-climbing or descending.
-descending and turning to the left.
-descending and turning to the right.
-climbing and turning to the right.
-climbing or descending.
Which are some of the most critical types of perceptual illusions?
a.Geometric (depth perception), somatosensory (autokinesis) and vestibular (feeling dizzy)
b.Visual (blind spot), kinaesthetic (the leans) and auditory (missed radio call)
c.Coriolis (constant turning), neurological (after-images) and auditory (hearing voices)
d.Haptic (colour blindness), Vestibular (graveyard spiral) and sensory (spatial disorientation)
b.Visual (blind spot), kinaesthetic (the leans) and auditory (missed radio call)
What procedure is recommended to prevent or overcome spatial disorientation?
a.Adapt to low levels of illumination before flying and use off-centre vision
b.Rely entirely on the indications of the flight instruments
c.Rely on the ‘seat-of-the-pants’ sense
d.Tilt your head to the side to get better information from the vestibular system
b.Rely entirely on the indications of the flight instruments
