Question 130-8 : What are the characteristics of the alarm phase of the stress reactions .1 increased arousal level as a result of adrenaline secretion.2 an increase in heart rate respiration and release of glucose.3 a decrease in stress resistance.4 activation of the digestive system.5 secretion of cortisol ?

1 2 3

.alarm phase 'fight or flight' response heart rate blood pressure and respiration rise in order to supply muscles and brain with more oxygen more blood is sent to the skeletal muscles and the brain while blood flow decreases to the stomach kidneys skin and liver sexual and immune functions are suppressed hormones acting as natural opiates are released in order to relieve potentially existing pain natural fats and sugars are actively produced to supply the organism with extra energy senses become sharper the organism activates those systems crucial for an immediate physical response and decreases the energy supply to those organs which are not so important in a state of emergency .answer 5 is not wrong there is some cortisol secretion but only for increasing behavioral responsiveness in the face of stressful situations exemple 258 1, 2, 3.

Question 130-19 : The 'cocktail party effect' is ?

The ability to pick up relevant information unintentionally

.the 'cocktail party effect' describes the ability to focus your listening attention on a single talker among a mixture of background noise ignoring other conversations arons 1992 'the cocktail' .according to clifford 2005 the effect can occur when we are either paying attention to one of the sounds around us and when it is invoked by a stimulus which grabs attention suddenly for example if someone the other side of a party room calls out your name you notice that sound and respond to it immediately whilst still paying some attention to the original group the inability to select a signal from the ambient context is a symptom of hearing loss or during a conversation in the cockpit you respond to your callsign as it happens much of the early work about this can be traced to problems faced by air traffic controllers in the early 1950's when they received many messages simultaneously over loudspeakers it was very difficult to distinguish single voices from the many .our minds can be conceived as a radio receiving many channels at once each channel perceives a kind of sound but we can pay attention to only one channel at a time because of our limited capacity so there is an audio filter in our brain which selects the channel to which we should pay attention from many kinds of sound perceived .for the exam the 'cocktail party effect' is the ability to pick up relevant information unintentionally exemple 302 The ability to pick up relevant information unintentionally.

exemple 370 2, 3 and 4 are correct.

Question 130-37 : During the pre flight phase in the cockpit the captain notices that his copilot on the one hand is rather inexperienced and insecure but on the other hand highly motivated .which kind of leadership behaviourism is most inappropriate ?

The captain lets the copilot fly and observes his behaviour without any comments

.since the co pilot is highly motivated and unless the safety of the aircraft is compromised the captain will boost his copilot's self confidence by allowing the co pilot to operate on his own as the captain will monitor his copilot's actions the copilot is unlikely to be dangerous .the captain can invite the copilot to ask for support if necessary exemple 374 The captain lets the copilot fly and observes his behaviour without any comments.

He should not further discuss this issue but should come back to this conflict during the debriefing

Ivanivan .i don't smoke but i've seen pilots smoking in the cockpit during a flight is that allowed thank you ..most airlines do not allow pilots to smoke onboard but only passenger areas are smoke free according to the regulations .if you are engaged on a private flight this is the owner's rules who apply in corporate aviation some passengers are heavy smokers and they smoke everywhere exemple 386 He should not further discuss this issue but should come back to this conflict during the debriefing.
