39
Define Hypoxia and list the types.
A condition in which tissues are starved of oxygen Hypoxic Hypemic Histotoxic Stagnant
40
Hypoxic
Insufficient oxygen available to the body as a whole
41
Hypemic hypoxia
Blood is unable to transport oxygen through the body
42
Stagnant hypoxia
Oxygen rich blood in the lungs isn’t moving.
43
Histotoxic hypoxia
Cells can’t use the oxygen. Interruption from drugs or alcohol
44
Hyperventilation
Excessive rate of respiration
45
CO2 poisoning
Exhaust getting into the cabin. Feeling drowsy and nauseated. Turn off the heat, ventilate, land asap
46
The Leans
Most common illusion Caused by sudden return to level flight following prolonged turn Pilot may lean in the direction of the original turn in a corrective attempt to regain the perception of correct posture
47
Coriolis illusion
Fluid in the ear moves at the speed of the canal due to a turn. Illusion of turning or accelerating. Pilot may maneuver the aircraft into a dangerous attitude.
48
Graveyard spiral
Prolonged coordinated turn. Fluid settles and pilot forgets they’re turning. When the disoriented pilot recovers, they will experience a sensation of turning opposite. The pilot will correct and lose altitude in the process
49
Somatogravic illusion
A rapid acceleration such as experienced during takeoff creates the illusion of being in a nose up attitude. Pilot may push aircraft nose into a low or diving attitude.
50
Inversion illusion
Abrupt change from climb to level flight creates illusion of tumbling backwards Pilot may push Nose low. Intensifies illusion.
51
Elevator illusion
Abrupt vertical acceleration as can occur in an updraft can create the illusion of being in a climb. Pilot may go nose low
52
False horizon
Attempting to align the aircraft with either a sloping cloud formation, obscured horizon or a dark scene spread with ground lights and stars. Pilot may place aircraft in an unusual attitude.
53
Autokinesis
A stationary light may begin to move if stared at
54
Alcohol limits
Less than .04% and 8 hours pass between drinking and flying.

Types of icing
Rime Clear Mixed Frost
60
Icing intensities
Trace: perceptible, not hazardous in short duration Light: clearly visible Moderate: hazardous. De-ice and divert Severe: diversion mandatory
61
Spin recovery PARE
Power - idle Ailerons - neutral Rudder - full opposite Elevator - pitch down
62
Stall / spin awareness
Over stretching glide path on final Over turning base to final with rudder Flaps or trim improperly set during take off Take off over pitch (seat or cargo shift Go around without pitch compensation
63
4 left turning tendencies

66
CRACK
Clearing turns Reference (bug it) Altitude and airspeed Configuration (landing, clean, cruise)
67
Detonation
Spontaneous combustion of the end gas that remains in the chamber after normal combustion. Knocking or pinging. Comes from using shitty fuel.
68
Pre-ignition
Occurs when something other than the spark plug ignites the mixture. A glowing hotspot can cause it. Can be caused by running the engine too lean.
69
Torque (left turning tendency)
Propeller turns clockwise, the plane rotates around the long axis On the ground, especially on the roll, rotation of the prop puts pressure on the left landing gear.
70
Gyroscopic precession (left turning tendency)
Mostly affects tail wheel planes Force applied manifests 90° laters Pushes nose to the left
71
Spiraling slipstream
People was from the propeller spirals around the plane in a cork screw pattern which hits then vertical stabilizer. Causes yawing to the left
72
P factor
Prop creates lift like a wing. When increasing the AOA, like in a climb, the right side of the prop creates more lift causing a left yaw.
73
Definition of a stall
A rapid decrease in lift caused by separation of airflow from the wing brought on by exceeding the critical AOA.
74

describes moderate icing and provides freezing level heights.
77
Airmet S
describes IFR conditions and/or extensive mountain obscurations.
78

79
Convective Sigmet
An inflight advisory of convective weather significant to the safety of all aircraft. ▷ Issued hourly at 55 minutes past the hour for the western (W), eastern (E) and central (C) USA. □ Not issued for Alaska or Hawaii. ▷ Valid for 2 hours. ▷ Contains either an observation and a forecast or only a forecast. ▷ Issued for any of the following: □ Severe thunderstorms due to: ◦ Surface winds greater or equal to 50 knots ◦ Hail at the surface greater than 3/4 inch in diameter □ Tornadoes □ Embedded thunderstorms of any intensity level □ A line of thunderstorms at least 60 miles long with thunderstorms affecting at least 40% of its length.
80
Convective Sigmet
An inflight advisory of convective weather significant to the safety of all aircraft. ▷ Issued hourly at 55 minutes past the hour for the western (W), eastern (E) and central (C) USA. □ Not issued for Alaska or Hawaii. ▷ Valid for 2 hours. ▷ Contains either an observation and a forecast or only a forecast. ▷ Issued for any of the following: □ Severe thunderstorms due to: ◦ Surface winds greater or equal to 50 knots ◦ Hail at the surface greater than 3/4 inch in diameter □ Tornadoes □ Embedded thunderstorms of any intensity level □ A line of thunderstorms at least 60 miles long with thunderstorms affecting at least 40% of its length.
