Q

Define Hypoxia and list the types.

A

A condition in which tissues are starved of oxygen

Hypoxic
Hypemic
Histotoxic
Stagnant

40
Q

Hypoxic

A

Insufficient oxygen available to the body as a whole

41
Q

Hypemic hypoxia

A

Blood is unable to transport oxygen through the body

42
Q

Stagnant hypoxia

A

Oxygen rich blood in the lungs isn’t moving.

43
Q

Histotoxic hypoxia

A

Cells can’t use the oxygen. Interruption from drugs or alcohol

44
Q

Hyperventilation

A

Excessive rate of respiration

45
Q

CO2 poisoning

A

Exhaust getting into the cabin. Feeling drowsy and nauseated.

Turn off the heat, ventilate, land asap

46
Q

The Leans

A

Most common illusion

Caused by sudden return to level flight following prolonged turn

Pilot may lean in the direction of the original turn in a corrective attempt to regain the perception of correct posture

47
Q

Coriolis illusion

A

Fluid in the ear moves at the speed of the canal due to a turn.

Illusion of turning or accelerating.

Pilot may maneuver the aircraft into a dangerous attitude.

48
Q

Graveyard spiral

A

Prolonged coordinated turn. Fluid settles and pilot forgets they’re turning.

When the disoriented pilot recovers, they will experience a sensation of turning opposite. The pilot will correct and lose altitude in the process

49
Q

Somatogravic illusion

A

A rapid acceleration such as experienced during takeoff creates the illusion of being in a nose up attitude.

Pilot may push aircraft nose into a low or diving attitude.

50
Q

Inversion illusion

A

Abrupt change from climb to level flight creates illusion of tumbling backwards

Pilot may push Nose low. Intensifies illusion.

51
Q

Elevator illusion

A

Abrupt vertical acceleration as can occur in an updraft can create the illusion of being in a climb.

Pilot may go nose low

52
Q

False horizon

A

Attempting to align the aircraft with either a sloping cloud formation, obscured horizon or a dark scene spread with ground lights and stars.

Pilot may place aircraft in an unusual attitude.

53
Q

Autokinesis

A

A stationary light may begin to move if stared at

54
Q

A

Less than .04% and 8 hours pass between drinking and flying.

67
Q

Detonation

A

Spontaneous combustion of the end gas that remains in the chamber after normal combustion.

Knocking or pinging.

Comes from using shitty fuel.

68
Q

Pre-ignition

A

Occurs when something other than the spark plug ignites the mixture.

A glowing hotspot can cause it.

Can be caused by running the engine too lean.

69
Q

Torque (left turning tendency)

A

Propeller turns clockwise, the plane rotates around the long axis

On the ground, especially on the roll, rotation of the prop puts pressure on the left landing gear.

70
Q

Gyroscopic precession (left turning tendency)

A

Mostly affects tail wheel planes

Force applied manifests 90° laters

Pushes nose to the left

71
Q

Spiraling slipstream

A

People was from the propeller spirals around the plane in a cork screw pattern which hits then vertical stabilizer.

Causes yawing to the left

72
Q

P factor

A

Prop creates lift like a wing. When increasing the AOA, like in a climb, the right side of the prop creates more lift causing a left yaw.

73
Q

Definition of a stall

A

A rapid decrease in lift caused by separation of airflow from the wing brought on by exceeding the critical AOA.

74
Q
