QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
In order to make communication effective, it is necessary to:
1. avoid the synchronization of verbal and non-verbal channels. 2. send information in
line with the receiver's decoding abilities. 3. always concentrate on the informational
aspects of the message only. 4. avoid increasing the number of communication
channels, in order to simplify communication.
The correct statement(s) is (are):
A3 and 4 are correct
Bonly 2 is correct
C1, 2 and 3 are correct
D2 and 4 are correct - Correct Answers -Bonly 2 is correct

From the following options, select an example of self-discipline of flight crew members
which is important to flight safety:
AObserving a sterile cockpit during all phases of flight as a means of maintaining a
consistently high level of concentration.
BAlways flying according to the manufacturer's recommended engine settings as a
means of extending maintenance intervals.
CFollowing the read-and-do method checklist as a means of significantly increasing
flight crew coordination during normal operation.
DStrictly adhering to standard operating procedures as a means of greatly reducing the
risk of committing an error or omission. - Correct Answers -DStrictly adhering to

Choose the correct statement about STM and LTM.
ASTM is more readily available than LTM.
BLTM is unlimited in size and is easier to access than STM.
,CLTM has more capacity and retains information longer than STM.
DSTM is more difficult to access than LTM. - Correct Answers -CLTM has more
capacity and retains information longer than STM.
A student pilot is seated in a rotating chamber without any outside visual reference.
He/she is told to move his/her head up and down slowly. Soon he/she starts to feel
dizzy and nausea sets in. What is the reason for this?
ACoriolis effect
BBlack hole effect
CSpatial disorientation
DFlicker vertigo - Correct Answers -ACoriolis effect
coriolis is about us MOVING OUR HEAD while somethings turning/rotating
A captain is flying towards the destination airport with an inexperienced copilot. They
receive an ATIS announcing CB with associated severe turbulence and windshear. The
captain summarises: "We are almost at our crosswind limit; if you can see the runway,
then we can make it." The copilot perceives flashing lights, he/she believes that they
could be the runway and makes an approach to land.
This scenario is NOT an example of...
ARisky shift; the tendency of both pilots to take more risk than any of them would on
his/her own.
BGroup polarization (neither pilot wants to disagree with the other).
CThe captain allows the copilot to make the decision to improve his/her little experience
in poor weather.
DThe copilot wanted to conform with the captain. - Correct Answers -CThe captain
allows the copilot to make the decision to improve his/her little experience in poor
weather.

What is the FRMS (Fatigue Risk Management System) designed to do through the
collection of data and a formal risk assessment?
APrevent all incidents and accidents that may be deemed to be attributable to Flight
Crew fatigue.
BMonitor and manage fatigue related safety risks, with the aim to ensure relevant
personnel are performing at adequate levels of alertness.
CProvide a systematic approach to managing safety within an organisation, including
the necessary organisational structures, accountabilities, policies and procedures.
DEnsure that the Flight Crew only are adequately rested to perform their roles safely. -
Correct Answers -BMonitor and manage fatigue related safety risks, with the aim to
ensure relevant personnel are performing at adequate levels of alertness.

, The pilot of a multi-engined aircraft has quite a high workload, looking out for traffic and
also concentrating on following ATC instructions to avoid a potential traffic conflict. After
a very brief look at the instruments, the pilot's eyes automatically focus on the analogue
engine gauges. He/she quickly sees that one needle indicates an abnormally high oil
pressure value for the left engine. What statement correctly explains how the brain is
storing and processing the information from the instruments in the above scenario?
AThe pilot detects the abnormal value by making a detailed scan of all the instruments,
complying with the procedures requiring continuous cross-checking of instruments
during flight. His/her selective attention is focussed on all the instruments' values.
BThe indications from all the instruments are stored as information in the pilot's working
memory. The pilot then consciously and quickly proc - Correct Answers -DThe visual
image of the abnormal value is stored in the sensory store for about 1 second. The pilot
automatically reacts to the abnormality by looking at the gauges, and then his/her
attention consciously focuses on their indications.
common offender this one is. 1 second and not visual sensory store. wtf is that
On a multi-crew commercial flight, the pilot monitoring is busy speaking to ATC when
the pilot flying changes the autopilot mode, and makes the appropriate call-out, but the
pilot monitoring does not hear the call-out. What has happened?
AA procedural error from the pilot monitoring, who must not direct his attention to ATC
whilst the pilot flying makes adjustments to the aircraft automation.
BA communication threat, because communication with ATC uses up cockpit resources
and creates a risk of human overload.
CA communication error from the pilot flying, who must not make any call-outs while the
pilot monitoring is busy with other tasks.
DA communication threat, because the disruption prevented the crew from
communicating the changes to maintain a shared mental picture. - Correct Answers -DA

During their approach, the crew of a Lockheed Tristar noticed that a green light
indicating a locked nose gear had failed to illuminate and requested permission to enter
a holding pattern for troubleshooting. They were assigned a position over an
uninhabited swamp area, which was completely dark that night. While all the crew
members were occupied with the landing gear indicator, one of the pilots inadvertently
knocked a control wheel, bringing the aircraft into a gradual descent, which went
unnoticed. The air traffic controller discovered that the aircraft had descended to 900 ft
and asked if there was any trouble, but did not mention the altitude loss directly. The
crew confirmed that everything was alright. Only seconds before the crash, the first
officer realised that they were descending into the swampland, but the crash could no
longer be prevented at the stage. Select the statement which is NOT true with regar -
Correct Answers -BOne of the major errors in the chain of events was due to
environmental capture.
