Answer 8

Focus on ‘questioning’ actions or decisions rather than criticizing them.

Answer 9

The pilot may struggle to attend to all necessary tasks.

Question 10

When workload overload occurs, the best thing you can do as a pilot is to:

Answer 10

Stop, think, slow down, and prioritize.

Question 11

The ideal level of “readiness” or stimulation for performing tasks:

Answer 11

Should be moderate, but too much stimulation can lead to stress.

Question 12

Situational awareness addresses the five fundamental risk elements, which are:

Answer 12

Flight, pilot, aircraft, environment and type of operation.

Question 13

True or false? A small problem, such as an error on a gauge, can dangerously reduce situational awareness.

Answer 13

True. If the pilot is fatigued or stressed, they may focus in on the problem and lose situational awareness.

Question 14

Pilots should exercise “attention sampling” to ensure appropriate gathering of information in order to maintain situational awareness. Which of the following illustrates “attention sampling”?

Answer 14

Developing a scanning pattern for instruments in order not to miss an important source of information.

Question 15

In order to effectively contextualize and comprehend information gathered through the monitoring of your aircraft systems, it is important to:

Answer 15

Maintain a good technical knowledge of the systems in order to project implications.

Question 16

How can pilots manage the limitations of working memory capacity in order to maintain situational awareness?

Answer 16

Develop skills that will promote automatic responses for normal procedures.

Question 17

What are the three most important systems that a pilot should know how to manage in order to avoid dangerous distractions when flying with advanced avionics?

Answer 17

Course deviation indicator (CDI), the navigation source, and the autopilot.

Question 18

True or false? Double-checking the waypoints entered into the FMS before beginning the flight relieves the pilot of having to monitor the flight path en route?

Answer 18

False. Even with double-checking, the flight path should be monitored for accuracy while en route.

Question 19

Which stage of sleep aids the strengthening and organization of memories?

Answer 19

REM sleep.

Question 20

The first REM sleep will occur how long after sleep begins?

Answer 20

90 minutes.

Question 21

Circadian rhythms refer to:

Answer 21

Sleep, hunger, and body temperature cycles.

Question 22

If your sleep cycle changes drastically, your body temperature cycle is likely to:

Answer 22

Remain the same.

Question 23

Which of the following is a symptom of fatigue?

Answer 23

Erratic mood swings.

Question 24

Sleep inertia is the feeling of grogginess, disorientation, with impaired short term memory and decision-making. Sleep inertia is associated with being awoken while in a slow-wave sleep. In order to reduce the risk of sleep inertia, a nap taken between flights should be kept under:

Answer 24

40 minutes.

Question 25

If you find that you are best served by 8 hours of sleep, but you have a busy couple of weeks where you trim one hour off your sleep schedule, sleeping only 7 hours a night for that period, you are likely to experience:

Answer 25

A progressive slowing of reaction time and possibly a loss of alertness for days later.

Question 26

Jim has been on duty for 6 hours. He's already starting to feel tired and has been fighting the urge to nod off. It's been a very busy day so far. He is considering taking a nap, but in about 20 minutes he should begin preflight duties for a long flight that leaves in 1 hour. Given what you know about naps, how should he manage his fatigue?

Answer 26

Take a 15 minute nap.

Question 27

Thomas has been very stressed lately due to a new baby at home. Though he is happy to be a father, concerns about care for the child and getting up during the night to care for her have resulted in his showing signs of stress. What is a good coping strategy Thomas can use?

Answer 27

Talk to other pilots who have had children about his concerns.

Question 28

Stress can enhance performance in some individuals; however, it is usually responsible for reducing:

Answer 28

Preoccupation and withdrawal.

Question 30

Answer 32

Assess the situation and use the first workable solution.

Question 33

For flight-related decisions, how does crew decision making differ from individual decision making?

Question 35

Before a pilot implements a course of action to counter a scenario, he should first:

Answer 35

Perceive the current circumstances and hazards.

Question 36

What is the best antidote for hazardous attitudes?

Answer 36

Specific, memorized antidotes to counter the attitude.
