How do variations in the atmospheric pressure affect your body when flying? -
answerReduced pressure can cause pain in the ears, sinuses, and abdomen and can
cause decompression sickness after scuba diving.
What are four ways to minimize the effects of motion sickness? - answerReduce stress
and anxiety; schedule flights to avoid turbulent conditions; focus on objects outside the
aircraft; open fresh air vents
How does fatigue affect pilot performance? - answerDegrades concentration, impairs
coordination, and decreases the ability to communicate
How can alcohol impair your ability to control your airplane? - answerIt reduces
coordination, slows reflexes, and impairs vision.
, If you are using a drug, what process should you follow before flying? - answerPerform
a self-assessment, obtain an aviation medical examiner's approval, and verify FAA
approval of the drug.
What actions do you need to take to plan for practicing flight maneuvers and
procedures? - answerDetermine and appropriate altitude and location for practice;
determine the maneuver and procedure steps and appropriate airplane configurations
using the pilot's operating handbook (POH) and your training materials.
What are steps in the positive exchange of flight controls procedure? - answer1. The
pilot passing the control says, "You have the flight controls," and continues to fly the
airplane.
2. The pilot taking control says, "I have the flight control," and moves the control stick to
confirm.
3. The pilot passing the control says, "You have the flight controls," releases the flight
controls, and visually verifies that the other pilot has the flight controls.
What are the elements of the passenger briefing that you should perform prior to the
flight? - answerHow and when to fasten safety belts, air vent location and operation, fire
extinguisher location and operation, egress and emergency operation of doors and
windows, traffic and talking including use of headsets, your questions (passenger
questions)
What are the elements of a takeoff briefing? - answerWind direction and velocity,
runway length and conditions, takeoff distance, initial heading, initial altitude, takeoff
and climb speeds, departure procedures, emergency plan in case of an engine failure
after takeoff, pilot and co-pilot responsibilities.
What are the elements of before-landing briefing? - answerAirport information and
weather conditions, active runway, terrain and obstacles, airport elevation and patter
altitude, and traffic pattern entry
For what flight operations do you use each type of checklist? - answerUse normal
checklist to accomplish procedures required during flight operations; use abnormal
checklist to manage situations that might compromise flight safety if not addressed; use
emergency checklist to manage situations that threaten flight safety and must be
addressed immediately.
What are the differences between the do-list and flow pattern methods of performing
checklist procedures? - answerTo perform a do-list, you read the checklist item and the
associated action then perform the action. Us a do-list when you have time and
completion of each step in the correct order is critical. A flow pattern guides you through
a cockpit in a logical order as you perform each step without the written checklist. Us a
flow pattern when he accurate sequence of the checklist items is not critical.
