1
BL 10-1 Hypoxia is the result of?
Insufficient oxygen to the brain.
2
10-2 The reduction in partial pressure of oxygen at high altitude will result:
Hypoxic Hypoxia
3
10-3 Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning is ?
Stagnant Hypoxia
4
10-4 What is not the symptoms of Hypoxia
Anxiety
5
BL 10-5 Experiencing hypoxia in an altitude chamber will
assist pilots to recognize their own symptoms.
6
10-6 Alcohol will produce a form of hypoxia, which kind?
Histotoxic
7
BL 10-7 Dark adaptation can be impaired by
carbon dioxide
8
"Time of useful consciousness" describes the maximum time the pilot has to make rational, life-saving decisions and carry them out at a given altitude without supplemental oxygen. Time of useful consciousness at 35,000 feet would be?
30-60 seconds
9
BL 10-9 Occupants of an unpressurized aircraft flying above 15,000 feet without supplemental oxygen will be suffering?
blue coloration of the lips and fingernails and tunnel vision.
10
BL 10-10 What will cause hyperventilation?
unexpected stressful situation
11
BL 10-11 Common symptoms of hyperventilation include:
Tingling sensations.
12
10-12 How do you treat hyperventilation
by breathing into a paper bag
13
BL 10-13 while wearing and using oxygen mask, rapid or deep breathing can cause
hyperventilation
14
BL 10-14 Trapped gas expansion accounts for ear pain most likely to occur?
if a pilot has a cold, an ear infection, or sore throat.
15
BL 10-15 A movement of the head in a different plane, such as looking at something in a different part of the flight deck, in a prolonged constant-rate turn can create the illusion of rotation or movement in an entirely different axis. This is called as?
Coriolis illusion.
16
BL 10-16 Somatogravic illusion happens during
rapid acceleration during takeoff.
17
BL 10-17 An abrupt change from climb to straight-and-level flight can stimulate the otolith organs enough to create the illusion of tumbling backwards, It is known as
inversion illusion
18
BL 10-18 When flying in the dark, a stationary light may appear to move if it is stared at for a prolonged period of time. This illusion is known as;

autokinesis.
19
BL 10-19 Spatial disorientation arise when

judge of aircraft attitude based on bodily sensations
20
BL 10-20 To prevent illusions and their potentially disastrous consequences, pilots can:
use of flight instruments and rely upon them
21
BL 10-21 Haze can create the optical illusion the airplane is
farther from the runway than it actually is.
22
BL. 10-22 Penetration of fog can create the illusion of
pitching up
23
BL. 10-23 Rain on the windscreen can create the illusion of

greater height

24
BL 10-24 An absence of ground features, as when landing over water, darkened areas, and terrain made featureless by snow, can create the illusion that the aircraft is at

higher altitude than it actually is.

25
BL 10-25 A pilot landed at faster speed than usual in the haze at night. This is due to

Featureless terrain illusion

26
BL 10-26 Motion sickness, or airsickness, is caused by

A.brain receiving conflicting messages
27
BL 10-27 Tobacco smoke also causes CO poisoning. Smoking at sea level can raise the CO concentration in the blood and result in

physiological effects similar to flying at 8,000 feet.

28
BL 10-28 Some effects of CO poisoning are

Dizziness.

29
BL 10-29 Anemic (lack of red blood cell) hypoxia is kind of hypoxia but it is a result of

a leaking exhaust gas.

30
BL10-30 Fatigue including acute fatigue is frequently associated with pilot error because?

flying fatigued is flying impaired.

31
BL 10-31 Chronic fatigue can be defined as

The stress produced by Continuous high-stress levels

32
BL 10-32 How an alcohol consumption affects functions of the body?

Alcohol has an adverse effect, especially as altitude increases.

33
BL 10-33 Pilot should be aware_______ pose an adverse safety risk.

prescribed and over-the-counter medications.
