Aviation Safety Final Exam|65 Q’s
and A’s
What are the four pillars of SMS? - -Safety policy, safety risk management,
safety assurance, safety promotion
- `Safety policy - -establishes senior management's commitment to
continually improve safety
- Safety Risk Management - -Determines the need for, and adequacy of,
new or revised risk controls based on the assessment of acceptable risk
- Safety Assurance - -evaluates the continued effectiveness of implemented
risk control strategies; supports the identification of new hazards
- `safety promotion - -includes training, communication, and other actions
to create a positive safety culture within all levels of the workforce
- what act created airport certification process? - -Airport and Airway
development act of 1970
- an example of a physiological factor is: - -hypoxia
- this is a multidisciplinary science that attempts to optimize the interaction
between people, machines, methods, and procedures that interface with on
another within an environment in a defined system to achieve a set of
system goals - -human factors
- this type of human performance includes noise, temp., humidity, partial
pressure of oxygen, and motion/acceleration - -environmental factors
- what are the three strategies that have been developed over the years
which have been built on the sound foundation of modern human factors
models and research - -LOSA, TEM, CRM
- this type of human performance factors include body dimensions and size,
age, strength, etc - -physical factors
- which commercial airline led the way with the first CRM training program -
-United airlines
- In threat and error management what are threats defined as? - -...events
or errors that occur outside the influence of the flight crew, increase
complexity, require crew attention
, - this type of human performance includes general health, mental, and
medical conditions such as low blood sugar, irregular heart rates, etc. - -
physiological factors
- in threat and error management errors are defined as: - -flight crew
actions or inactions that reduce safety margins, increase probability of bad
things to come
- an example of engineering control of error to prevent a gear-up landing is -
-landing gear warning light
- an example of administrative control to error to prevent a gear-up landing
is: - -a checklist step to check "gear-down"
- this type of human performance includes the nature of the task being
performed, workload, and level of training. - -task factors
- the sterile cockpit rule for commercial air carriers....below what altitude - -
3,048 meters (10,000 feet)
- The class B airspace around Kansas City is "positive controlled" which
means - -ATC separates all VFR and IFR traffic
- at an uncontrolled airport like Millard, there are standardized rules for the
traffic pattern - -true
- what is an example of traditional ground-based navigation - -VOR
- how is traffic separation in the US primarily accomplished - -ground-based
radar
- A groun-based augmentation system uses geosynchronous satellites to
relay known position errors of what system - -GPS
- 4 categories of airspace - -Positive controlled, Uncontrolled, Special use,
controlled
- what year did 12,000 ATC go on strike - -1981
- precision approach and landing aid that normally consists of a localizer, a
glide slope, marker becon, and approach light system - -ILS
- which instrument approach has the lowest decision height and lowest RVR
- -Category 3
