Random Deck Flashcards
In Flight Illusions
Inversion (Climb to straight and level = Tumbling backwards feeling)
Coriolis (Head movements in prolonged turns)
Elevator (Updraft/Downdraft causes a pilot to pitch up or down)
False Horizons (Sloping clouds, terrain, etc)
Leans (Banking illusion that occurs by relying on physical sensations rather than instrumentation)
Autokinesis (Stationary lights appear to move)
Graveyard Spiral (Constant rate turn downwards)
Graveyard Spin (Pilot recovers from spin but senses they are in a new spin, so re-enter that spin)
Somatogravic (Caused by rapid acceleration or deceleration that results in a pitch up or down)
What is a hazard?
A present condition, event, object, or circumstance that could lead to or contribute to an unplanned or undesired event such as an accident.
What is risk?
The future impact of a hazard that is not controlled or eliminated. Future uncertainty created by the hazard.
What is risk management?
The method used to control, eliminate, or reduce the hazard within parameters of acceptability.
What are the two kinds of stress?
Acute and Chronic
DECIDE Model

What is a straight departure?
One which the initial departure track is within 15 degrees of the alignment of the runway center line.
What is a turning departure?
A departure which requires a turn of more than 15 degrees from the runway centerline. Assumes straight flight until reaching 394ft above the runway.
