FREQUENTLY TESTED QUESTIONS WITH
CORRECT ANSWERS | BRAND NEW!
What is a committed error? - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > Pilot expecting a
certain situation and is primed with an appropriate repsonse
however the situation varies from the expected and the prepared
response is incorrect.
Environmental Capture is associated with an error in "Skills
Memory" define and give an example. - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > Where
multiple or sequential skills that are usually used together are
automatically carried out even though not all were required ie.
Selecting flap on a flapless approach
Skills once learned are difficult to modify, we call this skills
memory or muscle memory. What are the three errors
associated? - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > Action slips (Wrong action
performed, gear instead of flap)
Environmental Capture (Automatic action when not required)
Reversion (reverts to an previously learned action ie. water
landing - gear down)

What is a planning countermeasure? - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > Actions
taken before departure to ensure safe and proper operation of
the flight.
Note: We can plan in flight ie. receive a new weather briefing
however if we react to the new information in any way that would
count as a review countermeasure.
What is a procedural error? - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > When a pilot
performs and error of procedure such as a missing an item on a
checklist, failure to adhere to SOP's or failure to execute an
emergency action
What is a review countermeasure? - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > For coping
with unexpected events in flight. If we modify or change the plans
at all to deal with threats or errors we're enacting a review
countermeasure.
What is aerodontalagia? - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > Toothpain caused by
Barotrauma
What is an aircraft handling error? - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > An error
that occurs when interacting with controls, automation or
systems.
,Page 3 of 73
What is an execution countermeasure? - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer >
Actions taken in flight to protect against threats and errors.
Error detection & Error Response.
What is an external threat? - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > Anything outside
the scope of the pilot ie. weather, W&B, density, runway length,
temperature, traffic, terrain, obstacles, condition of the aircraft
What is apathy? - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > Lack of intrest, enthusiasm
or concern
What is cataracs? - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > Clouding of the lens of the
eye, treatment by laser and age related.
What is environmental capture? - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > When a
particular action or motor skill is always associated with a
certain phase of flight. saying checked items while turning final
but not actually checking them.
What is glaucoma? - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > Build up of pressure in the
eyeball damaging the sensitive structures and nerve endings.
Progressive deterioration of the peripheral to central vision or
can occur suddenly. Over 40 should be treated regularly.

What do we call long sighted eye disorders? - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer >
Hyperopia/Hypermetropia
What is the loss of visual acuity with age? - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer >
Presbyopia. Lens can no longer accomodate.
What is pressure vertigo? - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > Disequilibrium
between middle ear pressure that results in a difference in
perception of the vestibular system.
What is risky shift? - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > Also known as
polarisation - groups tend to make riskier decisions
What is short sightedness? - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > Myopia
What increases susceptibility to hypoxia? - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer >
Altitude, Time, Exercise, Cold, Illness, Fatigue, Drugs/alcohol,
Smoking
What is the fluid that fills the cochlea called? - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer >
Endolymph
