Q

How many types of hypoxia are there?

A

Hypoxic - “altitude hypoxia” lack of oxygen absorbed by the body due atmospheric conditions

Hypemic - blood is not able to carry a sufficient amount of oxygen to the body’s cells. anemia, co2 poisoning

Stagnant - Oxygen deficiency in the body due to poor circulation of the blood. Caused by high G forces

Hystotoxic - Inability for the body to use oxygen due to alcohol or poisoning

Q

Basicmed?

A

Allows you to fly with just a driver’s license and a physical exam by any doctor.

17
Q

What’s basic empty weight?

A

Basic empty weight includes the airframe, engine, fixed equipment, unusable fuel, full oil and other items necessary for all flights. The basic empty weight does not include pilot, payload (passengers and freigh), or ballast (for balance) or usable fuel.

  2. Discard or Deactivate
  3. PIC decision go/no go
19
Q

How do i verify equipment is not required if not under MEL?

A
  1. TCSD - Type Certificate Data Sheet
  2. KOEL - Kinds of equipment Lists
  3. Required Day/Night VFR equipment
  4. AD’s
20
Q

How do I discard/deactivate equipment?

A
  • Discard, placard inop and log the required maintenance according to FAR’s
