THAT DOESN’T SOUND RIGHT AT ALL.
You’re body colder in the morning than warmer throughout the day?
During an ILS approach, you noticed that a decrease in rate of descent is needed and more power is required to maintain the target approach speed. This may be an indication that:
The friction layer is affecting airplane’s performance.
The airplane in entering a high pressure area.
The wind shifted from tailwind to headwind.
The wind shifted from headwind to tailwind
The wind shifted from tailwind to headwind.
Human performance varies widely during periods of: Stress Panic Emotional troubles Relative calm situations
Stress
During approach to land on a runway with a downward slope of 1 degree at night, you may think that:
Due to the night operations, you will fly a higher approach for safety.
You are accustomed, it is a normal glide path on low terrain
You are too high, thus making a lower than normal descent
You are too low, thus making a higher than normal descent
You are too low, thus making a higher than normal descent
You are clear to land during a CAT I ILS approach to runway 36C by the Memphis tower controller. Visual references are not established during the approach. You should initiate the missed approach upon:
Arrival at the DH on the glide slope
Arrival at the visual descent point
Expiration of the published time on the approach plate
After reaching CAT II minimums
Arrival at the DH on the glide slope
Human factors involve:
Ergonomics
Engineers manufacturing aviation equipment safely
The relationship of people with machines and equipment
Manuals, procedures, and computer software
The relationship of people with machines and equipment
You depart from Memphis with a correct altimeter setting of 29.92 in. Hg., and fly to Bogota, Colombia airport (elevation 8,300 feet). The local altimeter setting at Bogota is 30.02. If the altimeter was not reset to 30.02, upon landing the altimeter would read: Airport elevation 8,200 feet 8,400 feet 8,290 feet
8,200 feet
Which of the following is the most common physiological symptom associated with long-range flying?
Oral temperatures disturbances
Disturbances of the normal eating pattern
Disturbance of the normal sleeping pattern
Body systems shift their phases at the same rate
Disturbance of the normal sleeping pattern
If you have an aircraft that was incorrectly loaded with an extreme aft CG, what characteristics of aircraft handling could you expect on landing?
You will use more control column aft pressure on landing.
No change in control inputs since the plane still within the safe flight envelope.
Longitudinal unstable, requiring greater input for pitch control.
You may run out of nose up pitch authority.
Longitudinal unstable, requiring greater input for pitch control.
At the outer marker during an ILS approach to runway 36L, the tower clears you to land with the wind reported as 360 at 25 Gust 31. The previous airplane goes around with instructions to climb to 2000 feet in a left turn to 330 heading. If you go around, what would you do:
Go into a published holding pattern and wait for better conditions.
Climb to pattern altitude and maintain runway heading.
Climb to 2000 feet with a left turn to 330 heading.
Comply with the published miss approach procedure instructions.
Comply with the published miss approach procedure instructions.
You are approaching to land an airport that has been raining for the last 4 hours. You are flying a heavier than normal airplane. Upon landing you experienced hydroplaning. Which type did you experienced? Reverted Rubber Oil and Gas Malay Viscous Dynamic
Dynamic
Body rhythms measurably oscillate through \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_hour periods? 36 72 48 24
24
You are clear for the LDA RWY 06 in ROA (Roanoke, VA). You should brief your crew that the main difference between an LDA and ILS LOC is:
None, both approaches have vertical and lateral guidance
LDA is 6 to 12 degrees wide with vertical guidance
LDA is offset from the runway more than 3 degrees
LDA is 15 degrees usable off course indications
LDA is offset from the runway more than 3 degrees
In the SHEL model, which of the following describes the human? Software Hardware Environment Liveware
Liveware
Which of the following are reasons for team building?
Increase departmental results and budgetary controls
Increase corporate profits and revenues
Increase corporate governance and guidance
Increase performance and foster problem solving
Increase performance and foster problem solving
All other factors equal, if you land at Bogota, Colombia with an elevation of approximately 8,300 feet. vs landing in Miami, Florida with a sea level elevation:
Groundspeed is going to be higher in Bogota.
Groundspeed is going to be lower in Bogota
Groundspeed is a function of airplane weight
No change in groundspeed
Groundspeed is going to be higher in Bogota.
You are flying from Miami, Florida to Toronto, Canada during the winter months. The temperature during landing at Toronto is colder than standard. If you forget to set the local altimeter setting:
The temperature has no effect on the pressure changes
The airplane will be lower than the indicated altitude
The temperature has no effect on the altimeter
The airplane will be higher than the indicated altitude
The airplane will be lower than the indicated altitude
During an ILS approach, the crew in front of you communicate to the control tower an increase of airspeed of +5 on short final, as you approach short final you noticed that an increase in rate of descent is necessary to maintain a normal glide path. This may be an indication of:
The effects of wake turbulence from the previous airplane.
Wind shear, a shift from tailwind to headwind.
Winds at the surface have change to calm.
Wind shear, a shift from headwind to tailwind
Wind shear, a shift from headwind to tailwind
