100

Dehydration worsens susceptibility to this altitude-oxygen related physiological condition

hypoxia

100

This item helps protect pilots from ultraviolet radiation exposure

sunscreen / sunglasses

100

susceptibility to carbon monoxide poisoning increases with 

altitude

100
This chemicals nickname is visual purple 

rhodopsin

200
What term is used to describe being in extreme conditions of cold wind or water?

exposure

200

Dehydration reduces blood volume, which can contribute to this common in-flight symptom during long flights

fatigue

200

The radiation from sunlight that can cause sunburn and eye damage during flight is primarily this type

ultraviolet radiation

200

If a pilot suspects carbon monoxide exposure, this is the first cockpit control that should be turned off

cabin heat

200

Cabin humidity in many aircraft can be lower than this desert-like percentage

10-20%

300

What condition is associated with muscle stiffness and weakness, fatigue, and sometimes drowsiness in cold conditions?

hypothermia 

300

This hormone increases during dehydration, contributing to fatigue and irritability

cortisol

300

This solar event can temporarily increase radiation exposure for pilots flying at high altitudes

solar flare / solar radiation storm

300

Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning often resemble this altitude-oxygen related physiological condition

hypoxia

300

Otoconia calcium carbonate deposits in your inner ear are also called

Frostbite
400

You should try to drink ____ your amount of body weight in ounces of water a day 

1/2 (around 0.5 ounces per lb)

400

Flying closer to these regions of Earth increases radiation exposure

poles (polar regions)

400

These fumes from fuel leaks or poor ventilation can contaminate cabin air and cause dizziness or nausea

the brain uses around ____% of the bodys oxygen supply 

20%

500

Above what temperature are you susceptible to heat stroke 

>105°

500

A dehydrated pilot flying in hot conditions may also be more susceptible to this environmental stressor

heat stress/stroke 

500

This type of radiation has enough energy to remove electrons from atoms and potentially damage cells

ionizing radiation
