QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
stress error training - Correct Answers -surprise failure is included in sim sessions
purpose of stress error training - Correct Answers -prepare pilot to deal with unexpected
high stress situations
autokinesis - Correct Answers -single stationary bright light with dark scenery appears
to move
what can autokinesis be mistaken for - Correct Answers -other aircraft causing
unnecessary mistake manoeuvre and spatial disorientation
somatogyal illusion - Correct Answers -false perception of rotation
limitation of semi-circular canal - Correct Answers -can only detect angular acceleration
so reports straight flight in steady turn

like turning in other direction

organs
example of somatogravic illusion - Correct Answers -appear to climb when accelerating

why may G tolerance vary from day to day - Correct Answers -fatigue, smoking, hypoxia
or hangovers
why does alcohol increase effects on high g-forces - Correct Answers -impairs ability of
body cells to metabolise oxygen
what is stress - Correct Answers -mind and body's response to demands placed on it
stress is a competent off - Correct Answers -any human work

if a situation is not error tolerant - Correct Answers -pilots must be careful not to
produce errors
best way to avoid errors - Correct Answers -crosschecking and monitoring
when authoritarian captain is PF - Correct Answers -will ignore PM
when authoritarian captain is PM - Correct Answers -will constantly correct PF even if
within SOPs
