Question 131-14 : Pain in the joints 'bends' is a symptom of ?

Decompression sickness.

Question 131-15 : Decompression sickness symptoms may develop due to ?

Cabin pressure loss when flying at higher altitudes above 18000 ft .

Question 131-16 : Disruptions of pressure equalization in air filled cavities of the head nose ear etc are called ?

Barotrauma.

Question 131-17 : Barotrauma caused by gas accumulation in the stomach and intestines can lead to ?

Pressure pain or flatulence.

Question 131-18 : What counter measure can be used against barotrauma of the middle ear ?

Close the mouth pinch the nose tight and blow out thereby increasing the pressure in the mouth and throat at the same time try to swallow or move lower jaw.

Question 131-19 : Trapped intestinal gases can cause severe pain when is this the case ?

More frequent when flying above 18000 ft in a non pressurized aircraft.

Question 131-20 : Barotrauma of the middle ear most likely will occur ?

When descending rapidly.

Question 131-21 : Barotrauma of the middle ear is usually accompanied by ?

A reduction in hearing ability and the feeling of increasing pressure.

Question 131-22 : The risk of barotrauma of the middle ear is more likely to occur ?

With colds and rapid descents.

Question 131-23 : The seat of the pants sense involves receptors in the ?

Muscles tendons and joints sensitive to the position and movement of body parts.

Question 131-24 : Equalization of pressure is limited between the middle ear and the ambient when ?

The eustachian tube is blocked.

Question 131-25 : A barotrauma of the middle ear is ?

An acute or chronic trauma to the middle ear caused by a difference of pressure on either side of the eardrum.

Question 131-26 : A pilot approaching an upsloping runway ?

May feel that he is higher than actual this illusion may cause him to land short.

Question 131-27 : What illusion may occur if an aircraft is flying into fog snow or haze ?

Objects seem to be farther away than in reality.

Question 131-28 : Adaptation is ?

The adjustment of the eyes to high or low levels of illumination.

Question 131-29 : The requirement of good sunglasses is to ?

Absorb enough visible light to eliminate glare without decreasing visual acuity.

Question 131-30 : Scanning at night should be performed by ?

Slight eye movements to the side of the object.

Question 131-31 : A pilot accustomed to landing on a wide runway may find when approaching to a narrow runway that heshe is at a ?

Greater height than he actually is with the tendency to land short.

2772the width of the runway may cause incorrect height judgements on the final approach a pilot used to a standard width runway may when approaching an unfamiliar airfield with a narrow runway judge he is too high and therefore round out on too low an approach

Question 131-32 : Flickering light when reflected from spinning rotor blades ?

Can cause spatial disorientation andor nausea.

Question 131-33 : Alcohol even when taken in minor quantities ?

Can make the brain cells to be more susceptible to hypoxia.

Question 131-34 : A pilot approaching a runway which is narrower than normal may feel he is at a greater height than he actually isto compensate he may fly a ?

Flatter than normal approach with the tendency to undershoot.

com encom040 114jpgthe width of the runway may cause incorrect height judgements on the final approacha pilot used to a standard width runway may when approaching an airfield with a narrow runway judge he is too high and therefore performs a low approach with undershoot com encom040 74jpg

Question 131-35 : The proprioceptive senses seat of the pants sense ?

May give incorrect information when outside visual reference is lost.

Question 131-36 : When assessing an individual's risk of developing coronary artery disease the following factors may contribute 1obesity2chronic stress3smoking4family history ?

1 2 3 and 4 are correct.

Question 131-37 : The metabolisation of alcohol ?

Is a question of time.

Alcohol is a toxin that must be neutralized or eliminated from the body alcohol metabolism is a complex process with large individual variations related to absorption distribution and eliminationthe liver metabolizes alcohol at a rate of 0015% per hour

Question 131-38 : What does not impair the function of the photosensitive cells ?

High speed.

The human retina has approximately 5 million cones and 120 million rodssignals from the rods and cones converge on ganglion and bipolar cells for preprocessing before they are sent to the lateral geniculate nucleus at the 'center' of the retina the point directly behind the lens is the fovea which contains only cone photoreceptor cells this is the region capable of producing the highest visual acuityoxygen deficiency acceleration positive or negative and poisons cause disturbances
