Aeromedical Factors Exam Questions
With 100% Verified Answers
Spatial Disorientation -
correct answer ✅a pilot's erroneous perception of position,
attitude, or motion in relation to the gravitational vertical and the
Earth's surface.
Degraded Visual Environment -
correct answer ✅A state of reduced visibility whereby spatial
situational awareness and aircraft control cannot be maintained
with the same precision as in normal VMC. (ex: brownout,
whiteout, fog, smoke, blowing dust, snow, heavy rain, sea spray, or
low illum)
+
Types of Spatial Disorientation -
correct answer ✅Unrecognized, Recognized, Incapacitating
Hypoxia -
correct answer ✅deficiency in the amount of oxygen in the blood
cells and tissues significant enough to cause impairment of
function.
Types of Hypoxia -
correct answer ✅Hypoxic

Hypemic
Stagnant
Histotoxic
Hypoxic Hypoxia -
correct answer ✅there is not enough O2 in the air or when
decreasing atmospheric pressure prevents diffusion of O2 from the
lungs to the bloodstream (above 10,000 MSL).
Hypemic Hypoxia -
correct answer ✅a reduction in blood's O2-carrying capacity.
Anemia and blood loss are the most common causes of this type of
hypoxia.
Stagnant Hypoxia -
correct answer ✅blood's oxygen-carrying capacity is adequate but
circulation is inadequate. This occurs when a crewmember
experiences extreme gravitational forces and blood flow is
disrupted, causing blood to stagnate.
