During a night flight, you observe a steady red light and a flashing red light ahead and at the same altitude. What is the general direction of movement of the other aircraft?

The other aircraft is crossing to the left.

During a night flight, you observe steady red and green lights ahead and at the same altitude. What is the general direction of movemoent of the other aircraft?

The other aircraft is approaching head-on.

During a night flight, you observe a steady white light and a flashing red light ahead and at the same altitude. What is the general direction of movement of the other aircraft?

The other aircraft is flying away from you.

What is the most effective way to use the eyes during night flight?

Scan slowly to permit off center viewing.

The best method to use when looking for other traffic at night is to

Look to the side of the object and scan slowly.

The most effective method of scanning for other aircraft for collision avoidance during nighttime hours is to use

Peripheral vision by scanning small sectors and utilizing off center viewing.

Large accumulations of carbon monoxide in the human body result in

Loss of muscular power.

Susceptibility to carbon monoxide poisoning increases as

Altitude increases.

Which statement best defines hypoxia?

A state of oxygen deficiency in the body.

The most effective method of scanning for other aircraft for collision avoidance during daylight hours is to use

A series of short regularly spaced eye movements to search each 10-degree sector.

Rapid or extra deep breathing while using oxygen can cause a condition known as

Hyperventilation.

Which technique should a pilot use to scan for traffic to the right and left duing straight-and-level flight?

Systematically focus on different segments of the sky for short intervals.

How can you determine if another aircraft is on a collision course with your aircraft?

There will be no apparent relative motion between your aircraft and the other aircraft.

If a pilot experiences spatial disorientation during flight in a restricted visibility condition, the best way to overcome the effect is to

Rely upon the aircraft instrument indications.

Pilots are more subject to spatial disorientation if

Body signals are used to interpret flight attitude.

The danger of spatial disorientation during flight in poor visual conditions may be reduced by

Having faith in the instruments rather than taking a chance on the sensory organs.

A person may not act as a crew member of a civil aircraft if alcoholic beverages have been consumed by that person within the preceding

8 hours.

Which is true regarding the presence of alcohol within the human body?

Judgment and decision-making abilities can be adversely affected by even small amounts of alcohol.

Hypoxia is the result of which of these conditions?

Insufficient oxygen reaching the brain.

Why is hypoxia particularly dangerous during flights with one pilot?

Symptoms of hypoxia may be difficult to recognize before the pilot's reactions are affected.

Which statement is correct regarding the use of cockpit lighting for night flight?

The use of regular white light, such as a flashlight, will impair night adaptation.

What action should be taken if hyperventilation is suspected?

Consciously breathe at a slower rate than normal.

How can an instrument pilot best overcome spatial disorientation?

Properly interpret the flight instruments and act accordingly.

Which would most likely result in Hyperventilation?

Emotional tension, anxiety or fear.

A pilot should be able to overcome the symptoms or avoid future occurrences of hyperventilation by

Slowing the breathing rate, breathing into a bag, or talking aloud.

The danger of spatial disorientation during flight in poor visual conditions may be reduced by

Having faith in the instruments rather than taking a chance on the sensory organs.

A state of temporary confusion resulting from misleading information being sent to the brain by various sensory organs is defined as

Spatial disorientation

Which technique should a pilot use to scan for traffic to the right and left during straight and level flight?

Systematically focus on different segments of the sky for short intervals.

What effect does haze have on the ability to see traffic or terrain features during flight?

All traffic or terrain features appear to be farther away than their actual distance.

What preparation should a pilot make to adapt the eyes for night flying?

Avoid bright white lights at least 30 minutes before the flight.

Hypoxia susceptibility due to inhalation of carbon monoxide increases as

Altitude increases.

Hypoxia is the result of which of these conditions?

Insufficient oxygen reaching the brain.

Which is true regarding the presence of alcohol within the human body?

Judgment and decision making abilities can be adversely affected by even small amounts of alcohol.

Which is a common symptom of hyperventilation?

Drowsiness.

As hyperventilation progresses a pilot can experience

Symptoms of suffocation and drowsiness.

To overcome the symptoms of hyperventilation, a pilot should

Slow the breathing rate.

Which would most likely result in hyperventilation?

Insufficient carbon dioxide.

To best overcome the effects of spatial disorientation, a pilot should

Rely on aircraft instrument indications.

To scan properly for traffic, a pilot should

Systematically focus on different segments of vision field for short intervals.

A pilot is more subject to spatial disorientation if

Body signals are used to interpret flight instruments.

Abrupt head movement during a prolonged constant rate turn in the IMC or simulated instrument conditions can cause

Pilot disorientation.

Without visual aid, pilot often interprets centrifugal force as a sensation of

Rising or falling.

An abrupt change from climb to straight-and-level flight can create the illusion of

Tumbling backwards.

A rapid acceleration during takeoff can create the illusion of

Being in a nose up attitude.

A slopping cloud formation, an obscured horizon, and a dark scene spread with ground lights and stars can create an illusion known as

False horizons.

Due to visual illusion, when landing on a narrower-than-usual runway, the aircraft will appear to be

Higher than actual, leading to a lower-than-normal approach.

What visual illusion creates the same effect as a narrower-than-usual runway?

An up sloping runway.

It can take up to ___ hours for the body to dispose of carbon monoxide.

48 hours

The only medicine found safe for flying if taken at minimal dosage are:

Aspirin and antacids

Flashing lights inside clouds during night time can induce:

Flicker vertigo

It takes how long for the alcohol from one drink to completely leave the body:

3 hours

Fixation is ...

applying your full concentration on a single instrument and excluding all others.

Omission is ...

excluding one or more pertinent instruments from your scan.

Emphasis is ...

relying on an instrument that you readily understand, even when it provides inadequate information, instead of relying on a combination of instruments.
