Psychological Factors Flashcards
A pilot should be able to overcome the symptoms or avoid future occurrences of hyperventilation by
1 increasing the breathing rate in order to increase lung ventilation.
2 slowing the breathing rate, breathing into a bag, or talking aloud.
3 closely monitoring the flight instruments to control the airplane.
slowing the breathing rate, breathing into a bag, or talking aloud.
The most effective method of scanning for other aircraft for collision avoidance during daylight hours is to use
1 peripheral vision by scanning small sectors and utilizing off-center viewing.
2 regularly spaced concentration on the 3-, 9-, and 12-o’clock positions.
3 a series of short, regularly spaced eye movements to search each 10-degree sector.
a series of short, regularly spaced eye movements to search each 10-degree sector.
Which would most likely result in hyperventilation?
1 The excessive consumption of alcohol.
2 Emotional tension, anxiety, or fear.
3 An extremely slow rate of breathing and insufficient oxygen.
Emotional tension, anxiety, or fear.
You are a remote pilot for a co-op energy service provider. You are to use your UA to inspect power lines in a remote area 10 hours away from your home office. After the drive, fatigue impacts your abilities to complete your assignment on time. Fatigue can be recognized
1 by an ability to overcome sleep deprivation.
2 easily by an experienced pilot.
3 as being in an impaired state.
as being in an impaired state.
A pilot experiencing the effects of hyperventilation should be able to restore the proper carbon dioxide level in the body by
1 increasing the breathing rate in order to increase lung ventilation.
2 breathing spontaneously and deeply or gaining mental control of the situation.
3 slowing the breathing rate, breathing into a paper bag, or talking aloud.
slowing the breathing rate, breathing into a paper bag, or talking aloud.
Which is true regarding the presence of alcohol within the human body?
1 A small amount of alcohol increases vision acuity.
2 Consuming an equal amount of water will increase the destruction of alcohol and alleviate a hangover.
3 Judgment and decision-making abilities can be adversely affected by even small amounts of alcohol.

Which technique should a remote pilot use to scan for traffic? A remote pilot should
1 concentrate on relative movement detected in the peripheral vision area.
2 systematically focus on different segments of the sky for short intervals.
3 continuously scan the sky from right to left.
systematically focus on different segments of the sky for short intervals.
When a stressful situation is encountered in flight, an abnormal increase in the volume of air breathed in and out can cause a condition known as
1 aerotitis.
2 aerosinusitis.
3 hyperventilation.
hyperventilation.
Why is fatigue hazardous to flight safety?
1 The pilot is lazy and rushes to get done quickly.
2 The pilot hurries to get done in order to rest.
3 Fatigue may not be apparent to a pilot until serious errors are made (an impaired pilot is a dangerous pilot).
Fatigue may not be apparent to a pilot until serious errors are made (an impaired pilot is a dangerous pilot).
Rapid or extra deep breathing while using oxygen can cause a condition known as
1 aerotitis.
2 aerosinusitis.
3 hyperventilation.
hyperventilation.
What effect does haze have on the ability to see traffic or terrain features during flight?
1 Haze causes the eyes to focus at infinity.
2 All traffic or terrain features appear to be farther away than their actual distance.
3 The eyes tend to overwork in haze and do not detect relative movement easily.
All traffic or terrain features appear to be farther away than their actual distance.
Most midair collision accidents occur during
1 hazy days.
2 cloudy nights.
3 clear days.
clear days.
Eye movements during daytime collision avoidance scanning should
1 be 30 degrees and view each sector at least 3 seconds.
2 use peripheral vision by scanning small sectors and utilizing off-center viewing.
3 not exceed 10 degrees and view each sector at least 1 second.
not exceed 10 degrees and view each sector at least 1 second.
