Question 1

1. What can help minimize and prevent spatial disorientation?

Answer 1

• Proper scanning techniques–using a slow, purposeful head movement and positive aircraft control
• Proper avionics/ system management
• Smooth handeling of the aircraft
• Never fly VMC/IMC at the same time
• Never fly without a visual reference point

Question 2

How does a pilot’s experience affect susceptibility to spatial disorientation (SD)?

Answer 2

All pilot`s, rookie to experienced will be more or less equal susceptible to get SD.

The experience may come in benificial in the recognition phase, and the knowledge/experience may help prevent and avoid SD (Never-Never-Avoid-Trust).

Question 5

What are the different altitude settings available for the Threat Intervisibility on the TAC/MFD?

Answer 5

Threat Intervisibility control is provided for plan altitude selections of Radar Altitude/Baro Altitude (RAD ALT/BARO ALT), PRESET (which uses AGL for plan altitude), or OFF.

If TIV is set to Radar Altitude/Baro Altitude and a valid Rad Alt input is received, RAD ALT will be displayed below TIV.

If the Rad Alt is failed but a valid Baro Alt input is received, BARO ALT will be displayed below TIV.

If both the Rad Alt and Baro Alt are failed, the MFD will be forced into Preset mode and PRESET will be displayed in red text below TIV.

Question 6

What plan altitude is used by the Threat Intervisibility when PRESET mode is selected on the TAC/MFD?

Answer 6

PRESET uses AGL for plan altitude.
