QUESTIONS WITH SOLUTIONS
GRADED A+
◍ Leptin (high serum leptin correlated with increased fat stores/weight gain;
also seen in IR bec brain not responding to leptin signals so keep eating->wt
gain).
Answer: hormone that suppresses appetite, produced in fat cells, epithelium
and stomach, acts on receptors in hypothalamus to tell it "I'm full, stop
eating", also stimulates gnRH, LH, FSH from ant. pituitary
◍ Why are you safe to fly today?.
Answer: I am safe to fly because I meet IMSAFE requirements, I am current
and qualified, and I have all required pilot documents.
◍ What is IMSAFE?.
Answer: I - Illness, M - Medication, S - Stress, A - Alcohol, F - Fatigue, E -
Emotion/Eating.
◍ What pilot documents are required to act as PIC?.
Answer: Photo ID, Pilot Certificate, Medical Certificate.
◍ Glucagon.
Answer: lipolytic, activates triglyceride lipase in adipose tissue via cAMP,
causes increased blood levels of fatty acids & glycerol
◍ BMR.
Answer: amount of daily energy expended while at rest, only enough energy
is produced for vital organ functioning, as it increases, the # of mitochondria
in the body increases as well
◍ Why is the aircraft airworthy?.
, Answer: The aircraft is airworthy because it meets its type certificate, is in
condition for safe operation, has required inspections completed, complies
with ADs, and has all required equipment.
◍ Resveratrol.
Answer: binds to and stimulates Sir2 sirtuin enzyme mimicking the effect of
caloric restriction on longevity; it modulates insulin-mediated glucose
uptake in muscles, it inhibits gene expression profiles associated with
skeletal and cardiac mm aging
◍ What does ARROW stand for?.
Answer: A - Airworthiness Certificate, R - Registration, R - Radio license,
O - Operating limitations, W - Weight and Balance.
◍ CRP.
Answer: what inflammatory marker is inversely correlated to bone mineral
density
◍ True.
Answer: T or F: in both men and women, GH reduces cortical osteocalcin;
thus it increases trabecular and cortical bone content
◍ DHEA.
Answer: This hormone affects immune function by increasing monocytes,
increasing IGF1, incr B cells, incr T cell mitogenic response, incr cells
expression of IL2 & IL3, thus fuctionally activating T lymphocytes; most
abundant hormone in the body; inhibits breast cancer progression, prevents
blood clots, decreases bone loss, increases memory, increases lean body
mass; produced by cholesterol
◍ What is required preflight action under 91.103? (NWKRAFT).
Answer: N - NOTAMs, W - Weather, K - Known ATC delays, R - Runway
lengths, A - Alternatives, F - Fuel requirements, T - Takeoff & landing
distance data.
◍ What inspections are required? (AV1ATE).
Answer: A - Annual, V - VOR, 1 - 100-hour, A - Altimeter, T -
, Transponder, E - ELT.
◍ Cortisol.
Answer: only hormone that increases with age, involved in stress response,
increases BP, BGlucose, suppresses immune function
◍ What is required equipment for VFR day under 91.205?
(ATOMATOFLAMES).
Answer: A - Airspeed indicator, T - Tachometer, O - Oil pressure gauge, M
- Manifold pressure, A - Altimeter, T - Temperature gauge, O - Oil temp
gauge, F - Fuel gauge, L - Landing gear indicator, A - Anti-collision lights,
M - Magnetic compass, E - ELT, S - Seatbelts.
◍ What is required for VFR night?.
Answer: ATOMATOFLAMES + F - Fuses, L - Landing light, A -
Anti-collision lights, P - Position lights, S - Source of electrical power.
◍ If a back seatbelt is broken, is the aircraft airworthy?.
Answer: Only if that seat is not used, the seatbelt is deactivated, and a
placard is installed.
◍ somatostatin.
Answer: inhibits release of GH and TSH, decreases gastric emptying,
inhibits GI hormones
◍ What is 91.213?.
Answer: Inoperative equipment rule — allows flight if the item is not
required by regulations and is deactivated and placarded.
◍ IGF1.
Answer: active mediator of FH
◍ What are Private Pilot privileges?.
Answer: May act as PIC, carry passengers, share pro rata expenses, fly for
charity events, and be reimbursed for search and rescue.
◍ What are Private Pilot limitations?.
Answer: Cannot be compensated for flying, cannot act as PIC for hire, must
