What are the primary gases/percentages in the atmosphere? -
CORRECT|ANSWER
Nitrogen - 78%
Oxygen - 21%
Other gases - 1%
These percentages do not change.
What are the layers of the atmosphere? -
CORRECT|ANSWER
Troposphere - sea level to 26,405 feet
Tropopause
Stratoshpere
Stratopause
Mesosphere
Thermoshere
Exosphere
What are the 3 physiologic zones of the atmosphere? -
CORRECT|ANSWER
Physiological zone - sea level to 10,000 feet
Physiologically Deficient Zone - 10,000 feet - 50,000 feet
Space Equivalent Zone - 50,000 feet - 120 miles
What law requires pilots to use oxygen when flying at altitudes above 10,000 feet? -
CORRECT|ANSWER
Federal Aviation Requirements (FAR) Part 135.89
, What is the barometric pressure at sea level? -
CORRECT|ANSWER
760 mmHg
What is one physiologic symptom that can be affected at altitudes above 5,000 feet can affect? -
CORRECT|ANSWER
Night vision
What are the 3 distinct parts of flight? -
CORRECT|ANSWER
1) Aircraft
2) Flight crew
3) Atmosphere
What is the the weight per unit area of all of the molecules of the gas above the point at which the
measurement was taken, with temperature and humidity as variables called? Also called
"atmospheric pressure." -
CORRECT|ANSWER
Barometric Pressure
What gas law states that when volume of gas increases, pressure decreases; when volume of gas
decreases, pressure increases?
Ex: Air trapped in pneumothorax will expand with increase in altitude due to decrease in
atmospheric pressure. Barotitis media, barodontalgia, barosinusitis, etc. This is an ASCENT problem. -
CORRECT|ANSWER
Boyle's Law - "Boil Very Prudently"
Boyle = Volume (Very) x Pressure (Prudently)
What gas law states that as air heats up, volume increases, allowing molecules to spread out, making
air less dense.
Helicopters fly better in cold weather.
Significant in flight medicine because aircraft cabins get cold at altitude
Hypothermia -
