Human Factors

You’ve decided to invite a friend for a ride on a Cessna 172. This is his first time inside a small plane. Your friend appears to be breathing fast followed by dizziness and muscle spasms. What is he experiencing, and what would be the most appropriate corrective action?

Hyperventilation. Slowing the breathing rate, talking aloud, or breathing into a paper bag will be the corrective action.

Heart Attack. Whispering, or breathing into a plastic bag will be the corrective action.

Hypemic hypoxia. Tell him to relax and opening the window will be the corrective action.

Hypoxic hypoxia. Provide them water, try to increase the breathing rate and CO2 amount will be the corrective action.

If a flight exceeds 30 minutes, at which altitude must a pilot use supplemental oxygen?

Above 14,000' MSL

Above 12,500' MSL

Above 10,000' MSL

Above 14,500' MSL

Above 12,000' MSL

The pilot should avoid bright lights 30 min before a flight at night

False

True

Your eyes mainly use the rods for your night vision.

False

What is stagnant hypoxia?

This occurs when the blood is not able to take up and transport a sufficient amount of oxygen to the cells in the body.

Oxygen deficiency in the body due to poor circulation of the blood.

The inability of the cells to effectively use oxygen to support metabolism.

What is hypemic hypoxia?

When the blood is unable to transport a sufficient amount of oxygen to the cells in the body.

Oxygen deficiency in the body due to poor circulation of the blood.

The inability of the cells to effectively use oxygen

Results in insufficient oxygen available to the body due to lack of atmospheric pressure.

What is hypoxic hypoxia?

Is when the blood is unable to transport a sufficient amount of oxygen to the cells in the body.

Is the state of insufficient oxygen in the body due to high altitudes.

Is the inability of the cells to absorb oxygen due to toxins.

Pilots or passengers who are fatigued can start to experience hypoxia symptoms as low as _ during the day and _ at night.

5,000 feet MSL; 3,000 feet MSL

12,000 feet MSL;10,000 feet MSL

10,000 feet MSL; 5,000 feet MSL

4,000 feet MSL; 10,000 feet MSL

You plan to fly at an altitude of 12,000′ MSL with an ETE of 1 hour. What oxygen requirements apply?

Crewmembers and passengers must use supplemental oxygen above a cabin pressure altitude of 12,000 feet MSL.

You are not required to wear oxygen

Crewmembers and passengers must use supplemental oxygen if flying for more than 30 minutes

Crewmembers must use supplemental oxygen if flying for more than 30 minutes

The recommended waiting time before going to flight altitudes of up to 8,000 feet is at least 12 hours after diving, which does not required controlled ascent (non-decompression stop diving)
