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
