CORRECT ANSWER - 4-6
Proprioception, or the body's sense of motion, provides the human with orientation cues through:
- CORRECT ANSWER - Pressure
Which of the following could be a long-term condition of gravitational stress? - CORRECT
ANSWER - Muscular weakness
Where is the safest place to sit on airplane during a crash? - CORRECT ANSWER - There
is no "safest place" during a crash
,Decreasing impact force can be accomplished by - CORRECT ANSWER - * Skidding
across the ground
* Allowing the vehicle and the environment to absorb as much energy as possible
* Crashing into the wind as much as possible
Flying straight & level for about 20 seconds and believing your instruments is the best remedy
for disorientation in flight. - CORRECT ANSWER - True
Laser strikes to a pilot's eyes is a wide-spread threat to aviation and could happen anywhere at
any time. - CORRECT ANSWER - True
Flying into an airport with a narrow-than-normal runway then you were used to could make a
pilot feel which of the following? - CORRECT ANSWER - You were too high on the
approach
What percentage of orientation information comes from the eyes? - CORRECT
ANSWER - 90%
Spatial Disorientation is only a problem if a pilot cannot confirm his orientation to the surface of
the Earth, or the horizon. - CORRECT ANSWER - False
To keep the cabin deceleration less than 9 G's during an impact at 50 mph, minimum stopping
distance must be at least - CORRECT ANSWER - 12 ft
Which of the following is considered to be a primary problem due to pulling sustained G forces?
- CORRECT ANSWER - * Restriction of movement
* Impairment of circulation
Which of the following conditions would make it difficult for a pilot to be able to assess distance
or altitude along the approach path? - CORRECT ANSWER - Flying over flat, snow
covered terrain
, After a survivable crash, the person at the controls often has these injuries: - CORRECT
ANSWER - Bruising on the palms of their hands and bottoms of their feet.
What is the most common cause of death in a non-survivable crash? - CORRECT
ANSWER - Head injuries
Which of these would cause crushing from the aft section forward, literally curling the
longitudinal axis? - CORRECT ANSWER - Light aircraft with nose-low impacts
Rotation above what threshold is a human's ability to sense motion? - CORRECT
ANSWER - 3 degrees per second
Central and peripheral represent the two visual systems of the human. - CORRECT
ANSWER - True
Which of the following human systems are involved in the orientation process? - CORRECT
ANSWER - Vision
What makes it so hard to land properly? - CORRECT ANSWER - Visual perspective and
depth perception.
Commercial Aircraft- 52% of fatalities involve IAP, Final, and landing issues
Absence/alteration of visual references modifies pilot perception of: - CORRECT
ANSWER - ability to acquire runway during transition from IMC/instrument to
VMC/visual segment.
Induces deviation from intended vertical or lateral flight path- unable to reconcile information
fast enough and confusion occurs.
