Q

Types of Hypoxia

A
  • Hypoxic: Lack of oxygen due to atmospheric conditions (High altitudes where air is thinner)
  • Hypemic: Inability to carry oxygen in blood cells (Blood loss, CO poisoning, Anemia)
  • Stagnant: Oxygen deficiency due to poor circulation of blood (Pulling excessive G’s)
  • Histotoxic: Inability for body to use the oxygen (Drugs, Alcohol)

Q

Cause of Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

A

Cabin Heater

  • Many piston aircraft heat the cabin by air flowing over the manifold
  • Exhaust escaping through crack in manifold or seals allow exhaust fumes to mix with air and enter cabin

Q

Sinus Block

A

-Sinuses are most often affected by pressure changes
Air Pressure in sinuses equalize through small openings in the nasal passages during altitude changes.
-Differences in pressure from sinuses eventually plug the openings
-Sinus block most often occur in descents

Q

Altitude Decompression Sickness

A
  • Pilots or passengers who intent to fly after SCUBA diving should allow enough time to rid themselves of excess nitrogen build up.
  • Recommended waiting times:
  • -Uncontrolled Ascent 12 hrs: flights up to 8,000ft MSL
  • -Uncontrolled Ascent 24 hrs: flights above 8,000ft MSL
  • -Controlled Ascent 24 hrs: flights any altitude

Q

Left Turning Tendencies

A
  • Torque
  • Spiraling Slipstream
  • Gyroscopic Precession
  • P-Factor
17
Q

Left Turning Tendencies: Torque

A
  • Force that causes and opposite reaction

- Propeller spins clockwise, airplane want to spin counterclockwise

18
Q

Left Turning Tendencies: Spiraling Slipstream

A

-Prop creates spiral of air that rotates around fuselage and hits the left side of the tail, causing aircraft to Yaw Left

19
Q

Left Turning Tendencies: Gyroscopic Precession

A

-A force applied is manifested 90 degrees ahead of the direction of rotation

20
Q

Left Turning Tendencies: P-Factor

A
  • In straight and level flight, both blades of prop have equal AoA
  • When in Climb, Descent, on blade has higher AoA than other, creating more lift to one side, thus yawing to that side
  • The Blade on the down moving side has a larger angle of attack, causing it to produce more thrust than the up moving side
21
Q

ATOMATOFLAMES

A
  • Airspeed Indicator
  • Tachometer
  • Oil Pressure Gauge
  • Manifold Pressure Gauge
  • Altimeter
  • Temperature Gauge
  • Oil Temperature Gauge
  • Fuel Level Gauge
  • Landing Gear Position Indicator
  • Anti-Collision Lights
  • Magnetic Compass
  • Emergency Location Transmitter
  • Seat Belts
22
Q

Types of Fog

A
  • Radiation
  • Advection
  • Upslope
  • Precipitation
  • Steam Fog
23
Q

Radiation Fog

A
  • Clear Skies
  • Low Winds
  • Small Temp/Dewpoint Spread
  • Surface cooled by radiation, adjacent air cooled to its dewpoint
24
Q

Advection Fog

A
  • Warm Moist Air Condensing as it moves across a cool surface
  • Along Coastlines
25
Q

Upslope Fog

A

-Warm moist air condensing as forced upslope terrain

26
Q

Precipitation Fog

A

-Warm rain falls through cool air

27
Q

Steam Fog

A
  • During winter when cold, dry air passes from land to warmer ocean air
  • (Sea Smoke)
28
Q

Types Of Clouds

A
  • Cirrus: Wispy
