ACS - Human Factors Final Exam |100% Correct| #LATEST What is hypoxia? - lack of oxygen to the brain Where does hypoxia usually occur, and what symptoms should one expect? (AIM 8-1-2) - around 12,000 - 15,000ft - headache, drowsiness, dizziness What factors can make a pilot more susceptible to hypoxia? (AIM 8-1-2) - carbon monoxide inhaled by the exhaust fumes - alcohol - drugs How can hypoxia be avoided? (AIM 8-1-2) - maintaining comfortable altitude What is hyperventilation? (AIM 8-1-3) - breathing in and out an abnormal amount of air What symptoms can a pilot expect from hyperventilation? (AIM 8-1-3) - extremities in the finger tips - light-headed - drowsiness How can a hyperventilating condition be reversed? (AIM 8-1-3) - breathing into a bag - calm down your passengers or yourself What is carbon monoxide poisoning? (AIM 8-1-4) - gas that is contained in exhaust fumes - when inhaled, effects of hypoxia occur What action should be taken if a pilot suspects carbon monoxide poisoning? (AIM 8-1-4) - immediately shut off cabin heat and open all air vents What is the cause of motion sickness, and what are its symptoms? (FAA-H-8083-25) - caused by continued stimulation of the inner ear which controls the sense of balance - nausea, disorientation, headaches, vomiting What action should be taken if a pilot or his passenger suffers from motion sickness? (FAA-H-8083-25) - open up air vents - keep the eyes on a point outside the airplane What is "ear block"? (AIM 8-1-2) - when cabin pressure decreases during ascent the expanding air in the middle ear pushes the tube open - during descent pilot must periodically open the tube to equalize pressure What action can be taken to prevent ear block from occurring in flight? (AIM 8-1-2) - swallowing, yawning, pinch nose and blow through nostrils What regulations apply and what common sense should prevail concerning the use of alcohol? (14 CFR 91.17, AIM 8-1-1) - 8 hours bottle to the throttle or blowing .04 percent - due to slow destruction of alcohol in the bloodstream Can you operate an aircraft while taking an over-the-counter medication for an on-going condition (allergies, hay fever, etc.)? (FAA-P-8740-41) - safest rule is to take no medicine while flying except with advice of your AME Define the term "single-pilot resource management." (FAA-H-8083-9) - using all available resources for safe flight What practical application provides a pilot with an effective method to practice SRM? (FAA-H-8083-9) - The "Five P" checklist Plan Plane Pilot Passengers Programming Explain the use of the "Five P" model to assess risk associated with each of the five factors. (FAA-H-8083-2) Plan - weather, route, ATC routes, fuel onboard Plane - mechanical status, database currency, backup systems Pilot - IMSAFE checklist Passnegers - pilots/non pilots, nervous or quiet, experienced or now Programming - autopilot, GPS When is the use of the "Five P" checklist recommended? (FAA-H-8083-9) - during the whole duration of flight as well as preflight Define the term "aeronautical decision making." (FAA-H-8083-9) - to determine the best course of action in response to a given set of circumstance
