A sloping cloud formation, an obscured horizon, and a dark scene spread with
ground lights and stars can create an illusion known as - ANSWER false horizons.
A pilot is more subject to spatial disorientation if - ANSWER body signals are used
to interpret flight attitude.
Which technique should a pilot use to scan for traffic to the right and left during
straight and-level flight? - ANSWER Systematically focus on different segments of
the sky for short intervals.
To preserve night vision, the most appropriate flight deck lighting is - ANSWER
reducing the interior lighting intensity to a minimum level.
What effect does haze have on the ability to see traffic or terrain features during
flight? - ANSWER Haze creates the illusion of being a greater distance than actual
from the runway, and causes pilots to fly a lower approach.
An abrupt change from climb to straight-and-level flight can create the illusion of -
ANSWER tumbling backwards.
The sensations which lead to spatial disorientation during instrument flight conditions
- ANSWER must be suppressed and complete reliance placed on the indications of
the flight instruments.
You are most likely to experience somatogravic illusion during - ANSWER rapid
acceleration on takeoff.
Why is fatigue hazardous to flight safety? - ANSWER Fatigue may not be apparent
to a pilot until serious errors are made (an impaired pilot is a dangerous pilot).
Pilots should take care when retrieving charts or dropped objects on the flight deck
to avoid - ANSWER Coriolis illusion.
Without visual aid, a pilot often interprets centrifugal force as a sensation of -
ANSWER rising or falling.
Hyperventilation occurs when - ANSWER an excessive amount of air is breathed
into the lungs
Which of the following is a correct response to counteract the feelings of hypoxia in
flight? - ANSWER Promptly descend to a lower altitude.
Why is hypoxia particularly dangerous during flights with one pilot? - ANSWER
Symptoms of hypoxia may be difficult to recognize before the pilot's reactions are
affected.
Abrupt head movement during a prolonged constant rate turn in IMC or simulated
instrument conditions can cause - ANSWER pilot disorientation.
