1
What is minimum required in-flight visibility and distance from clouds at 8,500 feet MSL (above 1,200 feet AGL) in Class E airspace in VFR conditions during daylight hours?

3 miles; 1,000 feet above; 2,000 feet horizontal; 500 feet below.

2
Instrument rating requirements. Select the incorrect statement:

Any 250 mile flight along airways with any 3 approaches at each airport .

3
BLM The PIC is required to have an Instrument Rating when flying

in VFR conditions while on an IFR flight plan, in weather conditions less than the minimum for VFR flight, and in a Class A airspace.

4
Which additional instrument experience is required for you to meet the recent flight experience requirements to act as PIC of an airplane under IFR when

4 instrument approaches in an airplane, or an approved training device.

5
A pilot's recent IFR experience expires on June 30th of this year. What is the latest date the pilot can meet the IFR experience requirement without having to take an instrument proficiency check?

December 31, this year.

6
What minimum requirements for the instrument approaches required for IFR currency?

The approaches may be made in an aircraft, flight simulator, not flight training device.

7
BLM A pilot successfully completed an instrument competency check on June 15th. After the IPC if no further IFR approaches, tracking or holding are flown, until when the pilot is current for IFR?

December, this year

8
Select the items that will not reduce error.

explain away and predict the outcome
9
Select incorrect statement about workload management

When there is low workload, human performance increase because of low distractions.
10
BL. 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. Do not make sudden, extreme head movements in IFR can cause:

Coriolis illusion.

11
BL A rapid acceleration (take off) will disorient the pilot

being in a nose up attitude resulting "pushing".

12
An abrupt change from climb to straight-and-level flight can create the illusion of

tumbling backwards.

13
BL. To prevent illusions and their potentially disastrous consequences, pilots can:

become proficient in the use of flight instruments and rely upon them. Trust the instruments and disregard your sensory perceptions.
14
Sloping cloud formations,an obscured horizon, a dark scene spread with

ground lights and stars, and certain geometric patterns of ground light can create known as
false horizons.

15
BL. Without looking flight instruments entering coordinated turn produces the same sensation as a

Climbing.

16
A narrower than- usual runway can create the illusion that the aircraft is at

higher than actual, resulting to a lower-than-normal approach.

17
BL An absence of ground features, as when landing over water, darkened areas, and terrain made featureless by snow, can create the illusion

This illusion, sometimes referred to as the "black hole approach," causes pilots to fly a lower approach than is desired.

18
Tunnel vision and cyanosis are symptoms of

hypoxia
19
Why is hypoxia particularly dangerous?

The first symptoms of hypoxia can include euphoria and a carefree feeling

20
BL Alcohol interferes with the brain's ability to utilize oxygen, producing a form of Alcohol will produce a form of hypoxia, which kind?

Histotoxic.
21
The reduction in partial pressure of oxygen at high altitude causes:

Hypoxic Hypoxia
22
Which is Type of Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning hypoxia?

Hypemic Hypoxia

23
BL. The term "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. At 35 000 feet TUC will vary :

20-30 seconds
24
BL The treatment for hyperventilation involves:

breathing into a paper bag
