IERW Aeromedical Training UPDATED ACTUAL Questions and
CORRECT Answers
1. Who is responsible for aeromedical training unit commanders
at the unit level?
2. How often must FW and RW rate/nonrated Every 5 years
crewmembers who fly in pressurized aircraft,
or in aircraft that routinely exceed 10,000
feet mean seal level (MSL) or Army mili-
tary free fall complete aeromedical refresher
training?
3. Crewmembers who fly in pressurized aircraft a rapid decompression
also must complete during their initial
low pressure exercise.
4. (T/F) Crewmembers with one successful alti- True
tude chamber iteration must complete class-
room training requirements but are exempt
from the altitude chamber practical exercise
requirements.
5. The minimum refresher training needed to Altitude physiology review.
meet the requirements of refresher training. G-forces review (FW only).
Altitude chamber orientation or ROBD
orientation.
Altitude chamber or ROBD practical exer-
cise.
6. What are the four atmospheres of the Earth? Troposphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere,
and Thermosphere
7. The negative effects of bubbles formed from Decompression Sickness (DCS)
undissolved N2 in the body is known as
, 8. Atmospheric pressure with increasing decreases
altitude
9. What altitude levels does the efficient zone MSL to 10,000 feet
include?
10. What altitude levels does the deficient zone 10,000 feet - 50,000 feet
include?
11. What altitude levels does the space equiva- 50,000 feet and upward
lent zone include?
12. Without the use of supplemental O2, a de- 4,000 feet
crease in night vision capabilities occurs
above what altitude?
13. Decompression sickness is rare below what 18,000 feet
altitude?
14. The higher the pH level of the blood is the Basic, Rich
more (acidic/basic) and O2 (deprived/rich) it
is.
15. The lower the blood pH level is, the more Acidic, Deprived
(basic/acidic) and O2 (rich/deprived) it is.
16. Increased CO2 in the blood leads to acidic
blood levels.
17. Decreased CO2 in the blood leads to basic/alkaline
blood levels.
18. Define Hypoxic Hypoxia
