Question: How does alcohol consumption affect a pilot's physiology and decision-making?
What is impairment ?
Even small amounts of alcohol Impairs judgement & decreases performance and mental cognition
Interferes with the brains ability to use oxygen (histotoxic hypoxia)
Altitude multiplies the effects of alcohol on the brain
Question: Describe the appropriate response to a hyperventilation episode in flight.
What is regulating / Control breathing rate
Question: Explain the dangers of carbon monoxide (CO) exposure in aviation.
What is
Can the pilot change the stall speed of an aircraft? If so, name some parameters that the pilot can control that will determine when an aircraft will stall.
what is Flaps?
What is Gear?
What is ???
Configuration of a power on stall vs off stall '
What is the recovery technique from a stall? Explain the purpose of each step.
Power on stall recovery
Power off Stall
Accelerated stall
what is the common theme
Question: What class of medical certificate is required for a Commercial Pilot?
what is 2nd class Medical
Question: What is the minimum age requirement for obtaining a first-class medical certificate?
what is no age requirement
Question: How does the circulatory system help in maintaining altitude awareness?
what is The consequences of acute hypoxia are an increase in heart rate
I will take multiple right answers.
What is as we increase in altitude this causes an increase in pressure in the pulmonary arteries increases significantly.
so basically increase
Draw a graph of each of the two main types of drag vs. airspeed.
what is drawing?
Which wing is stalled while an aircraft is spinning?
What is the lower wing?
Explain the difference between a Special Issuance and a Statement of Demonstrated Ability (SODA).
what is After an appropriate and successful evaluation, a SODA is issued for a condition that is expected to be stable. An SI, on the other hand, is issued when progression of a symptom or condition is likely and follow-up is required.
Question: What is the physiological effect of hypoxia on the body?
what is Hypoxia is low levels of oxygen in your body tissues. It causes symptoms like confusion, restlessness, difficulty breathing, rapid heart rate, and bluish skin
This system helps maintain balance and orientation in flight.
what is vestibular system?
What is ground effect and when does it affect an aircraft?
what is the reduced aerodynamic drag that an aircraft's wings generate when they are close to a fixed surface.
What are the turning tendencies experienced by piston-single aircraft, and describe a time of flight where each becomes apparent.
P-factor - High angle of attack climbing
Torque - all the time much more apparent with right turns vs left turns **
Gyroscopic Precision on takeoff mainly for tailwheel
Spiraling slipstream
Question: Explain the process for obtaining a Special Issuance medical certificate.
what is FAA? WHAT IN THE WORLD
Special Issuance.
At his discretion, the Federal Air Surgeon may grant an Authorization for Special Issuance of a Medical Certificate (Authorization), with a specified validity period, to an applicant who does not meet the established medical standards. The applicant must demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Federal Air Surgeon that the duties authorized by the class of medical certificate applied for can be performed without endangering public safety for the validity period of the Authorization. The Federal Air Surgeon may authorize a special medical flight test, practical test, or medical evaluation for this purpose.
An airman medical certificate issued under the provisions of an Authorization expires no later than the Authorization expiration date or upon its withdrawal. An airman must again show to the satisfaction of the Federal Air Surgeon that the duties authorized by the class of medical certificate applied for can be performed without endangering public safety in order to obtain a new airman medical certificate/Authorization under Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) § 67.401.
Explain the "I'M SAFE" checklist and how it relates to aeromedical decision making.

What is the Lift Equation?
what is L=1/2(Clxv^2XSXP)
Question: Discuss the common symptoms of decompression sickness (the bends) and its prevention.
what is hyperbolic chamber tank?
Symptoms can include fatigue and pain in muscles and joints. In the more severe type, symptoms may be similar to those of stroke or can include numbness, tingling, arm or leg weakness, unsteadiness, vertigo (spinning), difficulty breathing, and chest pain. People are treated with oxygen and recompression. hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT)
What are all the Regs that talk about Drugs and medical stuff.
For example what is the AC for basic Med?
91.17 ; 91.19
61.15 ; 61.23
Basic med AC68-1A
what are the Three models of a structured framework for problem-solving and decision-making?
2X points if you can hit and name it all !
you can forfeit this question and it will go to the next person but it will lose its 2x value and you lose only 500 points
the 5P, the 3P using:
PAVE, CARE and TEAM, and the DECIDE models
Perceive, Process, Perform (3P) Model
Consequences, Alternatives, Reality, External factors
Transfer, Eliminate, Accept, Mitigate
Detect, Estimate, Choose a course of action, Identify solutions, Do the necessary actions, and Evaluate the effects of the actions.
What are all the forces acting on the plane when in a Steep turn?
What is that drawing ?
Given your speed of 140 knots can you clear a canyon width of 5000 feet? bank is 30 degrees
R= V^2/ 11.26 x Tangent of bank angle
