What is a correct response if an exhaust leak were to be detected while in
flight?
Open air vents or windows.
Effects of carbon monoxide poisoning include...
Dizziness, blurred vision, and loss of muscle power.
Risk management, as part of the aeronautical decision making (ADM)
process, relies on which features to risk associated with each flight?
Situational awareness, problem recognition, and good judgment.
What is it often called when a pilot pushes his or her capabilities and the
aircraft's limits by trying to maintain visual contact with the terrain in low
visibility and ceiling?
Scud running.
What often leads to spatial disorientation or collision with
ground/obstacles when flying under Visual Flight Rules (VFR)?
Continual flight into instrument conditions.
What is one of the neglected items when a pilot relies on short and long
term memory for repetitive task?
Checklists.
Hazardous attitudes occur to every pilot to some degree at some time.
What are some of these hazardous attitudes?
,Antiauthority, impulsivvity, macho, resignation, and invulnerability.
In the aeronautical decision making(ADM) process, what is the first stem
in neutralizing a hazardous attitude?
Recognizing hazardous thoughts.
What is the antidote when a pilot has a hazardous attitude, such as
antiauthority?
Follow the rules.
What is the antidote when a pilot has a hazardous attitude, such as
impulsivity?
Not so fast, think first.
What is the antidote when a pilot has a hazardous attitude, such as
invulnerability?
It could happen to me.
What is the antidote when a pilot has a hazardous attitude, such as
macho?
Taking chances is foolish.
What is the antidote when a pilot has a hazardous attitude, such as
resignation?
I am not helpless.
Who is responsible for determining whether a pilot is fit to fly for a
particular flight, even though he or she holds a current medical
certificate?
The pilot.
What is one common factor which affects most preventable accidents?
,Human error.
Every physical process of weather is accompanied by, or is the result of,
a...
Heat exchange.
What causes variations in altimeter settings between weather reporting
points?
Unequal heating of the Earth's surface.
The wind at 5,000 feet AGL is southwesterly while the surface wind is
southerly. This difference in directional is primarily due to...
Friction between the wind and the surface.

Front.
One weather phenomenon which will always occur when flying across a
front is a change in the...
Wind direction.
One of the most easily recognized discontinuities across a front is...
A change in temperature.
, If there is thunderstorm activity in the vicinity of an airport at which you
plan to land, which hazardous atmospheric phenomenon might be
expected on landing approach?
Wind shear turbulence.
A non frontal, narrow band of active thunderstorms that often develop
ahead of a cold front is know as a...
Squall line.
What conditions are necessary for the formation of thunderstorms?
High humidity, lifting forces, and unstable conditions.
During the life cycle of a thunderstorm, which stage is characterized
predominately by downdrafts?
Dissipating.
Thunderstorms reach their greatest intensity during the...
Mature stage.
What feature is normally associated with the cumulus stage of a
thunderstorm?
Continuous updraft.
Which weather phenomenon signals the beginning of the mature stage of
a thunderstorm?
Precipitation beginning to fall.
Thunderstorms which generally produce the most intense hazard to
aircraft are...
