Q

What is Decompression sickness and associated symptoms

A

Decompression sickness – Inert gasses (mainly nitrogen) are released rapidly from solution in the body tissues and fluids as a result of low barometric pressure. The gasses form bubbles that may harm the body in several ways. The most common
result of decompression sickness is joint pain (“the bends”).

28
Q

Types of hypoxia

A

Hypoxic
Histotoxic
Hypemic
Stagnant

29
Q

Hypoxic hypoxia

A

Hypoxic hypoxia – Insufficient supply of O2 to the body as a whole. As altitude increases, O2 percentage of the atmosphere is constant, but its pressure decreases. The reduced pressure becomes insufficient for the O2 molecules to pass through the
respiratory system’s membranes.

30
Q

Hypemic hypoxia

A

Hypemic hypoxia – Inability of the blood to carry the O2 molecules. It may be a result of insufficient blood (bleeding or blood
donation), anemia or CO poisoning.

31
Q

Histotoxic hypoxia

A

Histotoxic hypoxia – Inability of the body cells to affectively use the O2 supplied by the blood. This can be caused by use of
alcohol or drugs.

32
Q

Stagnant hypoxia

A

Stagnant hypoxia - Caused by the blood not flowing efficiently. Can be caused by heart problems, excessive acceleration
(Gs), shock or a constricted blood vessel. Cold temperatures can restrict circulation and decrease blood supplied to the
extremities.

33
Q

Aircraft heater concerns

A

Carbon Monoxide poisoning and recognize the symptoms
- Light headed
- Loss of muscle power
- Headache
- Drowsiness
- Tingling in fingers and toes
- Blue fingernails and lips

34
Q

Visual Illusions

A

False Horizon - An illusion in which the pilot may misidentify the horizon line. May be caused by sloping cloud formation, an obscured horizon, an aurora borealis, dark night with scattered lights and stars or the geometry of the ground

Autokinesis - Staring at a stationary point of light in a dark or featureless scene for a prolonged period of time may cause the light to appear to be moving. A pilot may attempt to align the aircraft with the perceived moving light, resulting in loss of
control.

35
Q

Optical Illusions

A

-Runway Width Illusion - During approach to land, a narrow runway may give the pilot the illusion that the airplane is too high, whereas a wide runway may make it seem too low.
-Runway and Terrain Slope Illusion - An up-sloping terrain or runway can give the illusion that the plane is higher than it
actually is.
-Featureless Terrain Illusion - Also known as “black hole approach.” Flying over dark or featureless terrain (for example,
during an over-water approach) can give the illusion that the aircraft is at a higher altitude, causing the pilot to fly lower than desired.
-Water Refraction - Light refraction due to rain on the windshield may cause the horizon to seem lower and, as a result, the aircraft to appear higher. This illusion may lead the pilot to fly lower than desired.
-Haze - During an approach, haze may give the illusion that the runway is further or that the airplane is higher than it is.
-Fog - Flying into fog may create an illusion of a nose-up motion.
-Ground Lighting Illusion -
◦ Lights along straight paths (e.g., road or train lights) can be mistaken for runway or approach lights.
◦ Bright runway and approach lights can make the runway appear closer than it is, especially when the surrounding terrain is dark. This illusion may lead the pilot to fly a higher approach than desired.

36
Q

Types of AIRMETs

A

▷ An advisory of significant weather phenomena at lower intensities than those which require the issuance of SIGMETs. These conditions may
affect all aircraft but are potentially hazardous to aircraft with limited capability.
▷ Valid for 6 hours.
▷ AIRMET (S) - describes IFR conditions and/or extensive mountain obscurations.
▷ AIRMET (T) - describes moderate turbulence, sustained surface winds of 30 knots or greater, and/or non-convective low-level wind shear.
▷ AIRMET (Z) - describes moderate icing and provides freezing level heights.

37
Q

SIGMETs

A

▷ A non-scheduled inflight advisory with a maximum forecast period of 4 hours. Advises of non-convective weather potentially hazardous to all
types of aircraft. A SIGMET is issued when the following is expected to occur:
▷ Severe icing not associated with
thunderstorms
▷ Severe or extreme turbulence or Clear Air Turbulence (CAT) not associated with
thunderstorms.
▷ Dust storms, sandstorms lowering surface visibility below 3 miles.

38
Q

Convective SIGMET

A

-An inflight advisory of convective weather significant to the safety of all aircraft.
-Issued hourly at 55 minutes past the hour for the western (W), eastern (E) and central (C) USA.
□ Not issued for Alaska or Hawaii.
▷ Valid for 2 hours.
▷ Contains either an observation and a forecast or only a forecast.
Convective (thunderstorm-related weather)
* Severe Icing
* Severe Turbulence
* winds at the surface > 50 kts
* Thunderstorm-related weather.
* tornadoes.
* Hail
