CAMATA EXAM SCRIPT 2025/2026 QUESTIONS WITH
SOLUTIONS RATED A+
✔✔Unpressurized Aircraft - ✔✔- lower cost to manufacture
- short and unimproved runways may be an option
- altitudes restricted to physiologic zone
- slower speed
- shorter range
- exposed to turbulence
- require supplemental oxygen at higher altitudes
- less protection from extreme heat or cold
- increased cabin noise
✔✔Boyles Law - ✔✔The pressure and volume of a gas have an inverse relationship,
when temperature is held constant. If volume increases, then pressure decreases and
vice versa.
✔✔Daltons Law - ✔✔Law of partial pressures. Total pressure of a gaseous mixture is
equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the individual gases in the mixture.
✔✔Charles Law - ✔✔Describes how gases tend to expand when heated.
✔✔Gay Lussac's Law - ✔✔Pressure of gases is directly proportional to absolute
temperature.
✔✔Universal Gas Law - ✔✔The relationship between gas volume, pressure and
temperature can be explained by the combination of Boyles law and Charles law.
✔✔Henrys Law - ✔✔The amount of gas dissolved in a solution varies directly with the
partial pressure of that gas over the solution. Higher the pressure exerted on the
solution, the more gas the solution will hold.
✔✔Graham's Law - ✔✔The rate of diffusion of gas is inversely proportional to the
square root of its molecular weight.
✔✔Indifferent Hypoxia - ✔✔- sea level to 10,000ft
- 87%-98% SPO2
- increased HR and RR
- onset of blurred and/or tunnel vision
- usually unaware of symptoms
✔✔Compensatory Hypoxia - ✔✔- 10,000ft - 15,000ft
- 80%-90% SPO2
- more noticeable increase in HR and RR
- increased systolic BP and CO
, - >30 mins effective performance
- usually not readily identified initially
- adequate compensation without oxygen
✔✔Disturbance Hypoxia - ✔✔- 15,000ft to 20,000ft
- 70%-80% SPO2
- air hunger, amnesia, altered LOC, N&V, cyanosis
- diminished senses, worsened impaired visual acuity. weakness, numbness and
tingling, decreased pain response, prolonged reaction time, decreased memory, poor
coordination, impaired motor control, aggressive, overconfident, euphoria, depression.
- 20-30mins effective performance
- subjective complaints
- can no longer compensate without oxygen
✔✔Critical Hypoxia - ✔✔- 20,000ft - 25,000ft
- <70% SPO2
- maximum HR & RR response seen at 22,000ft
- cardiovascular collapse, circulatory failure, jerking of upper limbs, seizures, rapid LOC
decline, coma, death
- 3-5 minutes effective performance
-totally inadequate compensation without oxygen
✔✔Environmental Stressors of Flight - ✔✔- absolute altitude
- acclimatization
- rate of ascent
- duration of exposure
- physical activity
- tempurature
✔✔Self Imposed Stressors of Flight - ✔✔D E A T H
- drugs
- exhaustion
- alcohol
- tobacco
- hypoglycemia
✔✔Other Stressors of Flight - ✔✔G H O S T B A N S
- gravitational forces
- humidity/hyperventilation
- oxygen
- shakes/vibrations
- temperature
- barometric pressure
- atmosphere
- noise
- spatial disorientation
