O, Brother Where Art Thou
This is the first step when you realize you have lost SA.
What is Aviate?
This inner most part of the eye contains millions of photoreceptors allowing you to "see" an image.
What is the Retina?
What is carry oxygen?
Most military aircraft are equipped with this to help prevent DCS and hypoxia.
What is a pressurized cabin?
This the most common vestibular illusion and occurs when semicircular canal is stimulated in the roll axis.
An oxygen deficiency caused by the failure of protection against the fall in 02 partial pressure resulting in impairment of function.
What is Hypoxia?
The accurate perception of the elements in the environment within a volume of time an space, the comprehension of their meaning and the projection of their status in the near future.
What is Situational Awareness
This field of vision is used to orient oneself relative their environment and has very poor visual acuity.
What is Peripheral vision?
This altitude is where supplemental oxygen is required to have readily available according to the 202v3
High pressure oxygen (1,800-2,000 psi) is stored in this color tank.
What is Green?
This illusion is perceived as tumbling when 2 or more semicircular canals are stimulated simultaneously.
What is The Coriolis Illusion?
When the 02 carrying capacity of the blood is reduced.
What is Hypemic Hypoxia?
These 3 levels of awareness are credited to theorist Micah Endsley.
What are Perception, Comprehension, and Prediction?
This involves visual contrast of objects, shapes, movement, and environmental conditions of a target.
What is Physiological limitation?
This is the normal breathing range for an average adult.
What is 12-16 breaths per minute?
explosive noises, flying debris, fog, a dramatic drop in pressure and temperature are signs of this.
What is Rapid Decompression?
This sensory system is unreliable for in flight orientation due to a lack of pressure change and a positive G environment.
When the reduction in cardiac output, pooling of blood, or restriction of blood flow reduces 02 delivery.
What is Stagnant Hypoxia?
These 4 systems of the body are how your body processes information contributing to your level of SA.
What are the Visual, Vestibular, Auditory, and Somatosensory systems?
These photoreceptors allow you to see in great detail under bright light conditions.
What are Cones?
This type of breathing is required when positive pressure air is being supplied to a pilot.
What is active exhale and passive inhale?
What is The Bends?
Somatogyral illusions (the Leans, graveyard spiral, and Coriolis illusion) are most prominent when the aircraft is returned to straight and level and are detected by this system responsible for sensing angular acceleration.
What is the Semicircular Canal?
When 02 delivered to the cells cannot be used for energy production. Primarily caused by hydrogen cyanide gas from combusting plastics.
What is Histotoxic Hypoxia?
These 5 components of SA, from Prevec and Ercoline, identify the conditions and dynamic activities within a period of time.
what is/are Geographical, spatial/temporal, System, environmental, and Tactical Situational awareness?
This type of vision is primarily used for low-light conditions and relies heavily on Rods.
What is Scotopic Vision?
This component of the respiratory system is responsible for the exchange of gas between the atmosphere and blood.
This Type of DCS is manifests as stroke-like impacting vision, motor skills, and speech and can be confused for localized hypoxia.
What is Central Nervous System (CNS)?
Somatogravic Illusions caused by liner acceleration and is perceived as a pitch-up or pitch-down are detected by this vestibular subsystem.
What are Otolith Organs?
The loss of excess carbon monoxide from the blood usually caused by abnormal increased breathing.
What is Hypocapnia?
