why is hypoxia particularly dangerous during flights with one pilot
|
Symptoms of hypoxia may be difficult to recognize before the pilot's reactions are affected
|
|
What action should be taken if hyperventilation is suspected?
|
Consciously breathe at a slower rate than normal
|
|
which is not a type of hypoxia
|
hypertoxic
|
|
Which of the following is a correct response to counteract the feelings of hypoxia in flight
|
Promptly descend altitude
|
|
Carbon monoxide poisoning,common if flying as a result of an exhaust leak, is considered what type of hypoxia
|
hypermic
|
|
Hyperventilation occurs when
|
an excessive amount of air is breathed into the lungs
|
|
A corrective action to overcome symptoms of hyperventilation is to
|
slow the breathing rate
|
|
A pilot more subject to spacial disorientation if
|
body signals are used to interpret flight attitude
|
|
which procedure is recommended to prevent or overcome spacial disorientation
|
rely on the indications of the flight instruments
|
|
The sensations which lead to spacial disorientation during instrument flight conditions
|
Must be suppressed and complete reliance placed on the indications of the flight instruments
|
|
How can an instrument pilot best overcome spacial disorientation
|
Read and interpret the flight instruments, and act accordingly
|
|
How can an instrument pilot best overcome spacial disorientation
|
properly interpret the flight instruments and act accordingly
|
|
Without visual aid, a pilot often interprets centrifugal force as a sensation of
|
rising or falling
|
|
Abrupt head movement during a prolonged constant rate turn in IMC or simulated instrument conditions can cause
|
pilot disorientation
|
|
An abrupt change from climb to Straight-and-level flight can create the illusion of
|
Tumbling backwards
|
|
A rapid acceleration during takeoff can create the illusion of
|
being in a noseup attitude
|
|
A sloping cloud formation, an obscured horizon, and a dark scene spread with ground lights and stars can create an illuison known as
|
false horizons
|
|
Which use of cockpit lighting is correct for night flight
|
Reducing the interior lighting intensity to a minimum level
|
|
which statement is correct regarding the use of cockpit lighting for night flight
|
the use of regular white light, such as a flashlight, will impair night adaption
|
|
Which technique should a pilot use to scan for traffic to the right and left during straight-and-level flight
|
systematically focus on different segments of the sky for short intervals
|
|
what effect does haze have on the ability to see traffic or terrain features during flight
|
Haze creates the illusion of being a greater distance than actual from the runway, and causes pilots to fly a lower approach
|
|
Due to visual illusion, when landing on a narrower-than-usual runway, the aircraft will appear to be
|
higher than actual, leading to a lower-than-normal approach
|
|
What visual illusion creates the same effect as a narrower-than-usual runway
|
An upsloping runway
