This percentage of aviation maintenance mistakes are human factors related.

This is a multidisciplinary effort to generate and compile information about human
capabilities and limitations and apply that information to equipment, systems, facilities, procedures, jobs, environments, training, staffing, and personnel management for safe, comfortable and effective human performance.

Human Factors

This is the weight of the molecules of air above a given point.

Barometric Pressure

According to USAF research, aviators who never received hypoxia training are this many times more likely to experience loss of consciousness due to hypoxia vs aviators who had received training. 

25 times

Hyperventilation is also known as this.

Hypocapnia

200

When the information received is the same as the information transmitted, this has occurred.

Effective communication

200

This is the number of years it took after the Wright brothers' first flight for the first fatal accident to occur.

5

200

This is the percentage of oxygen in the atmosphere.

21%

200

This type of hypoxia affects the flow of oxygen to the lungs.

Hypoxic

200

Hyperventilation will produce symptoms similar to this condition.

Hypoxia

300

Anything that draws your attention away from the task at had is one of these.

Distraction

300

This institute of the FAA offers free flight physiology training to certificated pilots.

CAMI

300

Sea level to 10,000ft is known as this zone.

Zone of Normal Adaptation

300

This type of hypoxia affects how cells utilize oxygen.

Histotoxic

300

One way to return your rate of breathing to normal is to breathe this way.

Manually

400

Failure to work together to complete a shared goal is this.

Lack of teamwork

400

The first non-government aerospace physiology training program was started here in 1989.

University of North Dakota

400

10,000ft to 50,000ft is known as this zone.

Zone of Physiologic Deficiency

400

This type of hypoxia affects the ability of red blood cells to transport oxygen.

Hypemic

400

If you are unsure if someone is hypoxic or hyperventilating, treat for this condition first.

Hypoxia

500

Expected yet unwritten rules of behavior are this.

Norms

500

APT refresher training should occur at this interval.

Every 5-10 years

500

50,000ft and higher is known as this zone.

Space equivalent zone

500

This type of hypoxia affects the normal circulation of blood around the body.
