IFR GROUND SCHOOL EXAM
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
What is Somatographic - ANSWER-Rapid acceleration can create the same effect
as tilting the head back and causes the pilot to think he's in a nose up attitude,
corrects by going nose low, this can also be applied with deceleration
List the 4 types of Hypoxia - ANSWER-Hypemic
Hypoxic
Histotoxic
Stagnant
Define the 4 types of Hypoxia - ANSWER-Hypemic - reduction of the blood's oxygen-
carrying capacity (transport)
Hypoxic - not enough oxygen in the air (altitude)
Histotoxic - Interference with the use of oxygen by body tissues (chemical)
Stagnant - Circulation is inadequate (movement)
How many Degrees per second is a standard rate turn - ANSWER-3
How long will a standard rate turn take - ANSWER-2 minutes
What are the 3 instrument scan errors - ANSWER-Fixation - full concentration on
single instrument
Omission - excluding one or more instruments from scan
Emphasis - relying on one instrument to tell you everything rather than a combination
of instruments
What are the 2 scan techniques - ANSWER-Control and performance
Primary and supporting
What does the Pimple Acronym stand for - ANSWER-Principle of operation
Indications
Markings
Power source
Limitations
Errors
What is the Inversion Illusion - ANSWER-An abrupt change from climb to straight
and level flight can cause the illusion of tumbling backwards, therefore the pilot
creates a nose low attitude to fix.
What is the Coriolis Illusion - ANSWER-When a pilot has been in a turn long enough
that the body gets use to it. When the pilot turns his head it can create the illusion
the planes moving in an entirely different plane.
