Term
During a climb to 18,000 ft, the percentage of oxygen in the atmosphere
Definition
remains the same.

* Percentage does not change, but air becomes less dense, so there is less total O2.
Term
Hypoxia is the result of
Definition
reduced barometric pressures at altitude.
Term
During a stall recovery, the instructor allows the student to exceed maneuvering speed. Which best illustrates 'antiauthority' reaction by the instructor?
Definition
There hasn't been a problem doing this in the past.
Term
An illusion that the aircraft is at a higher altitude than it actually is, is produced by
Definition
An upsloping terrain.
Term
An illusion that the aircraft is at a higher altitude than it actually is, is produced by
Definition
a leaking exhaust manifold.
Term
The aeronautical decision making (ADM) process identifies several steps involved in good decision making. One of these steps is
Definition
identifying personal attitudes hazardous to safe flight.
Term
Aeronautical decision making (ADM) can be defined as a
Definition
systematic approach to the mental process used by pilots to consistently determine the best course of action in response to a given set of circumstances.
Term
Hyperventilation results in
Definition
breathing too rapidly causing a lack of oxygen.
Term
When should a flight instructor begin teaching aeronautical decision making (ADM) to a student?
Definition
As soon as the student is able to control the aircraft during basic maneuvers.
Term
Risk management, as part of the aeronautical decision making (ADM) process, relies on which features to reduce the risks associated with each flight?
Definition
Situational awareness, problem recognition, and good judgment.
Term
Hazardous attitudes which contribute to poor pilot judgment can be effectively counteracted by
Definition
an appropriate antidote.
Term
Rapid or extra deep breathing while using oxygen can cause
Definition
hyperventilation
Term
To help manage cockpit stress, a pilot should
Definition
try to relax and think rationally at the first sign of stress.
Term
Success in reducing stress associated with a crisis in the cockpit begins with
Definition
assessing stress areas in one's personal life.
Term
All experienced pilots have fallen prey to, or have been tempted by, one or more of these dangerous tendencies or behavior problems at some time in their career. Select the answer that best describes these tendencies.
Definition
Performance deficiencies due to stress from human factors such as fatigue, illness, or emotional problems.
