These are up to date flashcards as of SEP2022. All information is ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\

||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




CASA documents. There is conflicting information from old ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\

3 Categories of an Undesired Aircraft State
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




1. Aircraft Handling - Aircraft handling in the air - Track & speed
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




deviations, airspace penetration, non stabilised approach. ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




2. Ground Navigation - Management of aircraft while navigating
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\

,on ground (this includes taxi speed!)
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




3. Aircraft Configuration - Settings & Configurations of Aircraft
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




ie. Power setting, fuel configuration, Autopilot mode, loading
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




configuration.
What are the three methods of coping with stress? ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




Action Coping - Removing yourself or altering situation ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




Cognitive Coping - Psychological change ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




Symptom-Directed Coping - Drugs & Alcohol ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




What are the 3 gas laws pertinent to Human Factors? ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




Boyles Law (Pressure & Volume) ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




Charles Law (Partial Pressure - Concentration) ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




Daltons Law (Temperature & Volume) ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




You join a circuit on a right downwind what is the natural
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




tendency?
The natural tendency is to keep the runway in view. Often on a
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




right downwind the runway is obstructed this causes the pilot to
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




dip the wing towards the runway and descend. Descending is
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




the most dangerous as we are now lower than expected on
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




approach!
What are the notable problems with reliance on the vestibular ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




system?
1. Not reliable without a visual indication
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




2. Also may cause nausea with conflicting information
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\

,What are the three primary categories of errors?
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




Aircraft Handling Error - You touch the aircraft it's a handling
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




error (ie. forgetting to put on carb heat)
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




Procedural Error - SOP's, Checklists, Approach Charts ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




Communication Error - ATC, Crew Communication ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




What are the three types of threats?
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




Anticipated - Pre-flight planning, or reviewed threats ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




Unexpected - Usually inflight, anything we didn't prepare for. ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




Latent - Something that lies dormant and may not be apparent
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




until an error has been committed.
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




Difference between latent and unexpected threats are, latent ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




threats can lie dormant on multiple flights without being
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




apparent while an unexpected threat will show up in flight. ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




Latent threat (Runway illusion), Unexpected Threat (Aircraft on
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




that runway)
||\\||\\




What are the two categories of threats?
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




Environmental (Weather, Airspace Communication, Ground ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




environments, Terrain, Operational pressures such as arriving ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




late)
Organisational (Documentation errors/ incorrect data entry, ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




tour of duty problems)
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




What temperature ranges are considered "Uncomfortable"
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\

, <15°C and >30°C ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




What are "Zeitgerbers"?
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




Things that help align our body rhythms such as day/night
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




cycles, clocks, meals ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




What do we call the model that fits the human to task?
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




SHELL With liveware (human) in the middle
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




What happens to body rhythms as we travel East?
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




They compress/shorten
||\\||\\




Note: You will get a question on this. This is the worst case
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




scenario as the body rhythms have to extend. ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




What is a committed error?
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




Pilot expecting a certain situation and is primed with an
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




appropriate repsonse however the situation varies from the ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




expected and the prepared response is incorrect. ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




Environmental Capture is associated with an error in "Skills ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




Memory" define and give an example. ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




Where multiple or sequential skills that are usually used
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




together are automatically carried out even though not all were ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\




required ie. Selecting flap on a flapless approach ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\
