spatial disorientations types (8) ICEFLAGS
-inversion illusion -coriolis illusion -elevator illusion -false horizon -Leans -autokinisis -graveyard spiral -somaotgraphic illusion
53
Describe this spatial disorientation: inversion illusion
a change from climb to level flight. This combination of accelerations produces an illusion that the aircraft is inverted or tumbling backwards.
54
Describe this spatial disorientation: coriolis illusion
occurs when a pilot, during a prolonged turn, turns too fast to look at instruments, experiences a sudden, confusing sensation of tumbling or rotating in all directions after MOVING THEIR HEAD ABRUPTLY, even though the aircraft is not actually changing direction
55
Describe this spatial disorientation: elevator illusion
a false sensation of climbing when encountering an updraft, leading them to push the aircraft's nose down
56
Describe this spatial disorientation: leans (illusion)
Slow turn. ear fluid doesn't register. Thinks your straight. So turn more. a pilot experiences a false sensation of rolling or banking, often after a gradual turn, leading them to lean in the perceived direction of the "bank".
57
Describe this spatial disorientation: autokinisis
staring at a light too long at night it will begin to move
58
Describe this spatial disorientation: graveyard spiral or spin
mistakenly believes they are losing altitude in a banked turn, and then takes corrective action that exacerbates the descent, leading to a spiraling dive. proper recovery and reenter original spin
59
60
Describe this spatial disorientation: somaotgraphic illusion
rapid acceleration or deceleration causes the pilot to misinterpret the aircraft's attitude, feeling like they are climbing or descending when they are actually flying straight and level
61
Describe spatial disorientation:
A lack of orientation with regard to the position, attitude, or movement of the aircraft in space is defined as
62
What are the different types of Hypoxia
hypoxic Histoxic hypemic stagnant
63
What is Hypoxic Hypoxia
induced by altitude Low air levels being introduced into blood in lungs.
64
What is hypemic hypoxia
When your blood has the oxygen necessary to carry, but it doesn't.
65
What is stagnant hypoxia
Blood not flowing -inability to transport because of cooling. where a g-suit to prevent blood from heading to legs
66
What is histoxic hypoxia
occurs when the body's cells are unable to utilize oxygen even though there is sufficient oxygen in the blood Lightheadedness, Euphoria, Cyanosis, Dizziness, headaches IN THAT ORDER
67
Which statement best defines hypoxia?
A state of oxygen deficiency in the body.
68
If a pilot experiences spatial disorientation during flight in a restricted visibility condition, the best way to overcome the effect is to
rely upon the aircraft instrument indications.
69
What is the most effective way to use the eyes during night flight?
Scan slowly to permit off-center viewing.
70
Which technique should a pilot use to scan for traffic to the right and left during straight-and-level flight?
Systematically focus on different segments of the sky for short intervals. -Due to the fact that eyes can focus only on a narrow viewing area, effective scanning is accomplished with a series of short regularly spaced eye movements that bring successive areas of the sky into the central vision field.
71
Pilots are more subject to spatial disorientation if
eyes are moved often in the process of cross-checking the flight instruments -Spatial disorientation is a state of temporary confusion resulting from misleading information being sent to the brain by various sensory organs. Thus, the pilot should ignore sensations of muscles and the inner ear and kinesthetic senses (those that sense motion).
72

What do fronts look like on a weather map? (4)

78
5 types of Fog
-Radiation fog : 75% of time -Advection fog: coastline: warm moist air moves over a cold moist surface (ocean) . Golden Gate Bridge -Upslope fog: warm air going up a hill to meet cold air -Precipitation enduceded fog/steam fog: Rain cools on hot ground
79
6 Types of Turbulance
Light Moderate Severe Extreme CHOP: turbulence wake (consistent ) Clear air turbulence: jet stream turbulence -Light: Slight erratic changes to altitude or airspeed -Moderate: Larger variations in speed altitude and attitude can occur but control maintained -Severe: Large changes in speed, alt, & Attitude lose control. Items could cause structural damage -Extreme: Capable of causing structural damage. And resulting in prolonged, possibly terminal, loss of control of the aircraft -CHOP: turbulence wake (consistent ) -Clear air turbulence: jet stream turbulence
80
3 Types of Ice
Clear RIME Mixed -Clear Super cooled water droplets (on the top of wing + adds weight) -RIME Freezes instantly disrupting airflow. losing life, carry weight) -Mixed Mixed ice. Both
81
3 rules for Mountain flying
- avoid CFIT: Control flight into terrain -Avoid the "Lee" Side (Downwind side) of the mountain -Standing lenticular cloud: Beast mode cloud (double stack over mountain)
82
Types of Altitudes (5)
Indicated Altitude True altitude Absolute Altitude Pressure Altitude Density Altitude
83
