ARMY AEROMEDICAL EXAM REVIEW 2026
COMPLETE QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
◉ Body Area and Site
Answer: The greater the size of
the body area affected,
the less severe the effects
◉ Intensity
Answer: The greater the intensity, the more severe the effects of
accelerative forces
Closely related to duration
◉ The faster the rate of acceleration, the more severe the effects
Answer: What is Rate of Onset as it relates to vibration?
◉ The longer the force is applied, the more severe the effects
Answer: What is the effect of Duration as it relates to vibration?
◉ Force in the Gy axis will not be tolerated as well as a force applied
to another axis because of aircraft structural and human
physiological limitations
,Answer: On which axis does Impact Direction have the most severe
effects?
◉ Asymptomatic hypertension
Fear & excitement
Tensing of muscles
Short stocky build
L-1 maneuver

Answer: List the Factors Increasing G Tolerance.
◉ Factors Decreasing G Tolerance
Answer: Blood volume decrease / Blood pressure decrease
Dehydration
Fatigue/illness
Hemorrhage
Acute alcohol abuse
Varicose veins
◉ Gx Tolerance
Answer: Greater than +/-7 G's breathing may be difficult
+/-20 G's for several seconds without severe effects
, ◉ High Magnitude Accelerations
Answer: What are G-forces exceeding 10 G's and lasting less than a
second?
◉ Minor discomfort
Minor injury
Incapacitating
Irreversible injury
Lethal
Answer: What are the effects of High Magnitude Accelerations
◉ Amount of decelerative (crash) force transmitted to the
crewmember
