Misc.
This is caused by nitrogen build up in the blood after scuba diving
Decompression sickness AKA the Bends
Alcohol? cant fly with higher than the % BAC
.04
Caused by lack of available oxygen
Hypoxia
It is important to not fly when you are experiencing this type of sickness
Cold/Flu
This occurs at night when isolated lights appear to start moving
Autokinesis
A crack in this system is the likely cause for CO poisoning in the Skyhawk
Exhaust manifold/system
This stress is short term and can be resolved quickly
Acute
CO poisoning causes this kind of Hypoxia
Hypemic
The part of the inner ear that contains fluid and tiny hair cells that detect angular acceleration
can occur when a pilot descends at night over featureless terrain, leading to low approaches
Black hole illusion
A condition resulting from a conflict between sensory signal in the brain
Motion Sickness
These are the two types of fatigue that pilots can experience
Acute and Chronic
Blueish or grayish color of the skin on extremity's due to lack of oxygen
Cyanosis
When there is a blockage in the sinus's, these tubes are blocked and cannot drain
Eustuchian tubes
occurs when a prolonged turn loses sensation of turning, upon rolling wings level, feels as thought the aircraft is turning the opposite direction
Graveyard spiral
The only treatment/equipment that can assist a patient with the bends/
Hyperbaric chamber
8 hours bottle to throttle, this is the regulation that states that
14 CFR 91.17
The mechanical movement of air from the body to the atmosphere
Ventilation
Component of the system that detects linear acceleration and gravitational forces
Otolith Organ
occurs from rapid head movement during a prolonged turn
Coriolis illusion
This was the year the legislation was passed allowing pilots to fly without a medical (fly with basicmed)
2016
The common ingredient on Advil PM and Tylenol PM that would prevent you from flying
diphenhydramine
Severe Hypoxia occurs at this Oxygen saturation level
80%
This law explains why the vestibular system cannot detect constant velocity
Newtons first law of motion
This can occur during rapid acceleration tricking the pilot into thinking the nose is pitching up
Somatogravic Illusion
