Q

Stagnant

A
  • oxygen deficiency due to poor circulation of blood (doesn’t move)
  • example: pulling excessive G’s

Q

Oxygen requirements required for crew

A

When flying between 12500’ - 14000’ MSL for > is required to have oxygen after flying 30 minutes
After flying for 30mins in between 12500’ - 14000’ you will need to have supplemental oxygen

Q

What can cause carbon monoxide Poisoning

A

Cabin heater

  • exhaust escaping through crack in manifold or seals allow exhaust fumes to mix with air and enter cabin

Q

Resolution for carbon monoxide poisoning

A
  • turn heater off
  • open windows
  • tell ATC you suspect CO poisoning
  • declare emergency
  • land as soon as possible

Q

What is Hyperventilation

A
  • rapid breathing/ abnormal volume of air breathed in and out of lungs
  • results in decrease of carbon dioxide (CO2) content in blood

16
Q

How to help hyperventilation

A
  • talking aloud
  • singing
  • controlled breathing into a bag
  • remove cause of stress/ anxiety
17
Q

Sinus block

A
  • sinuses are most often affected by pressure changes
  • air pressure in sinuses equalize though small openings in the nasal passages during altitiude changes
  • upper respiratory infections such as a cold can produce enough congestion to slow equalization
  • the difference in pressure from sinuses eventually plus the opening
  • sinus block occurs most often during descent
18
Q

Altitude decompression sickness

A
  • pilots or passages who intent to fly after scuba diving should allow enough time to rid themselves of Excess nitrogen buildup
  • recommended waiting times
  • uncontrolled ascent
  • 12 hours for flights up to 8000’ MSL
  • 24 hours for flights about 8000’ MSL
  • controlled ascent
  • 24 hours for flight at any altitude
19
Q

Hazardous attitudes

A
  • undermine pilots aeronautical decision making (ADM)
  • important to understand why these attitudes may compromise our safety
  • these 5 attitudes are embodied in psyche of even human mind
20
Q

What are the 5 hazardous attitudes

A
  • anti authority: don’t tell me
  • impulsivity: do something quickly
  • invulnerability: it won’t happen to me
  • macho: I can do it
  • resignation: what’s the use
21
Q

What are the antidotes to the hazardous attitude

A
  • anti authority: follow the rules. They are usually right
  • impulsivity: not so fast. Think first
  • invulnerability: it could happen to me
  • macho : taking chances is foolish
  • resignation: I’m not helpless.I can make a difference
22
Q

Nighttime requirements

A

Lights required
-sunset- sunrise

Logging night
- civil twilight ( 30 minutes after sunset/ before sunrise

Currency
- 3 takeoff/landing to full stop ( 1 hour before sunrise/ after sunset

23
Q

Left turning tendency

A

Torque, spiraling slipstream, gyroscopic precession, p-factor

24
Q

Torque

A
  • force that causes an opposite reaction
  • propeller spins clockwise, airplane wants to spin counterclockwise
25
Q

Spiraling slipstream

A
  • prop creates spiral of air that rotates around fuselage and hits the left side of tail, causing aircraft to yaw left
26
Q

Gyroscopic precession

A
  • a force applied is manifested 90 degrees ahead of the direction of rotation
  • this example is more drastic in tailwheel aircraft but still applies to tricycle gear
27
Q

P- factor

A
  • in straight and level, both blades of prop have equal AoA
  • when in climb /descent, one blade has higher AoA that other, creating more lift to one side, thus yawing to that side
28
Q

ADAHRS

A

Air data computer, and attitude and heading reference system

29
Q

What are the 4 types of fog

A

Radiation
Up-slope
Advection
Precipitation induced

30
Q

How is radiation fog formed

A

Forms on clear nights with little or no wind and only over land

31
Q

How is upslope fog formed

A

Moist unstable air is cooled as wind pushed it up a slope

32
Q

How is precipitation- induced fog formed

A

Warm rain falls through cool air
Evaporation from the rain saturates the cool air and fog forms

33
Q

How is advection fog formed

A

Moist warm air moves over colder land or water

34
Q

What do the ADHARS control

A

G1000NXI
ADAHARS
- air date computer
* computes pitot static system and gives TAD and GS
- attitude and heading reference system
* inclinometer -, * accelerometer- * inertia sensors, rate sensor, and magnetometer gives HSI ( horizontal situational indicator ) there are 2, attitude, heading , and coordination information
*autopilot ( duel accuse auto pilot )
*transponder mode s
* ADS-B in and out
