29
Q

What is a Prohibited Area?

A

Prohibited areas contain airspace of defined dimensions identified by an area on the surface of the earth within which the flight of aircraft is prohibited. Such areas are established for security or other reasons associated with the national welfare. These areas are published in the Federal Register and are depicted on aeronautical charts.

A

30-45 minutes
Rhodopsin takes time to increase in the rod cells
Avoid bright light
Wear red lenses if able
Cover one eye if bright light is not avoidable

57
Q

Cues of Depth Perception (NVG)

A

Geometric perspective (objects appear to have different shapes when viewed at varying distances and angles)

Retinal Image Size (When an image is focused upon the retina it is perceived to be a certain size by the brain, this is used to determine distance or rate of closure)

Aerial Perspective (When distance is judged by clarity or by a shadow of an object)

Motion Parallax (Relative motion of stationary objects is used to determine distance, far out objects appear to move slow and close in objects appear to move fast)

58
Q

Relative Motion Illusion (NVG)

A

The relative motion between you and a nearby object may cause confusion as to who or what is moving. Common over tall grass, water, or low contrast surface.

59
Q

Crater Illusion (NVG)

A

Occurs when the searchlight is pointing directly below the aircraft, may cause the illusion that the ground is sloping up in all directions.

60
Q

False Horizons (NVG)

A

Illusion can occur due to ground based lights giving false horizontal reference, or caused by sloping clouds. Recovery is reference the instruments.

61
Q

Height and Depth Perception Illusion (NVG)

A

Occurs when flying over areas of poor contrast, gives the crew the illusion that they’re higher than they actually are.

62
Q

Size Distance Illusion (NVG)

A

Occurs when there is a false perception of distance from an object or the ground. Example: A pilot used to landing on a large runway is likely to fly a lower and faster approach to a smaller runway.

63
Q

Fascination or Fixation (NVG)

A

Occurs when a pilot fixates on a landing zone and fails to detect closure rates and or obstructions.

64
Q

Protecting Night Adaptation (NVG)

A

When exposed to bright lights the Rhodopsin in the Rods quickly bleaches itself. The duration of the light exposure will dictate how long it will take to restore night vision.

65
Q

67
Q

How long do you need to keep record of your NVG time?

A

12 Calendar months

68
Q

What are the (O) and (M) procedures in the MEL

A

O procedures indicate that there is an operational requirement that may affect planning or operation of the aircraft with the deferred item.

M procedures require a maintenance action be performed to the aircraft before continued operation may begin with the deferred item.
