Question 135-32 : The peripheral vision is important for ?

Detecting moving objects.

Pawepa.i though that it is the central vision responsible for detail, colour and movement......you may not realize that when you use your eyes to see, you are actually seeing in many directions at the same time. what you see directly in front of your eyes is called your central vision. what you see off to the sides is your peripheral vision..when we are concentrating on something, we focus on what is directly in front of us, such as the computer monitor or a book we are reading. but our eyes are constantly aware of other things going on around us, such as someone approaching from the side. this is especially important during activities such as driving a car or playing sports. a driver may catch a hint of motion out of the corner of her eye that alerts her to a pedestrian stepping off the curb. or a basketball player may pass the ball to a teammate coming up on the side that he saw using peripheral vision. people with limited peripheral vision lack this ability to see to the side and are forced to turn their eyes, or even their entire heads to see what is not directly in front of them. exemple 359 Detecting moving objects.

Question 135-33 : Although we have a field of vision of more than 180° it is important during flight to use the scanning technique, because ?

Only in the foveal area resolution is good enough to see an object clearly.

exemple 363 Only in the foveal area resolution is good enough to see an object clearly.

Question 135-35 : When flying through a thunderstorm with lightning you can protect yourself from flashblindness by.1 turning up the intensity of cockpit lights.2 looking inside the cockpit.3 wearing sunglasses.4 using face blinds or face curtains when installed ?

1, 2, 3 and 4 are correct.

Flyejf.i think the answer to this question wrong. the answer should be '1 and 2 are correct, 2 and 4 are false'....in flash blindness, exposure to a very bright light source can deprive pilots of vision for a period of time ranging from a few seconds to a few minutes. this can be followed by afterimages, such as the yellow and purple dots seen after a flash photo. these afterimages will disappear in time..the answer given is the one you have to choose at the exam. by the way, we understand that wearing sunglasses while you are flying in a thunderstorm with lightning is not the best solution if you want to keep an eye on your instruments... but all statements offer some degree of protection in the event of a lightning flash. exemple 371 1, 2, 3 and 4 are correct.

Question 135-36 : Which scanning technique should be used when flying at night ?

Look to the side 10 15 degrees of the object.

exemple 375 Look to the side (10 - 15 degrees) of the object.

Question 135-37 : Coriolis illusion, causing spatial disorientation is the result of ?

Simultaneous head movements during aircraft manoeuvres.

.coriolis illusion the illusion of rotation or movement in an entirely different axis, caused by an abrupt head movement, while in a prolonged constant rate turn that has ceased to stimulate the brain s motion sensing system. this involves the simultaneous stimulation of two semicircular canals and is associated with a sudden tilting forward or backwards of the pilot's head while the aircraft is turning. this can occur when tilting the head down to look at an approach chart or to write on the knee pad , or up to look at an overhead instrument or switch or sideways. this can produce an overpowering sensation that the aircraft is rolling, pitching, and yawing all at the same time, which can be compared with the sensation of rolling down a hillside. this illusion can make the pilot quickly become disoriented and lose control of the aircraft. exemple 379 Simultaneous head movements during aircraft manoeuvres.

Question 135-38 : When turning in imc, head movements should be avoided as much as possible. this is a prevention against ?

Coriolis illusion.

.coriolis illusion the illusion of rotation or movement in an entirely different axis, caused by an abrupt head movement, while in a prolonged constant rate turn that has ceased to stimulate the brain s motion sensing system. this involves the simultaneous stimulation of two semicircular canals and is associated with a sudden tilting forward or backwards of the pilot's head while the aircraft is turning. this can occur when tilting the head down to look at an approach chart or to write on the knee pad , or up to look at an overhead instrument or switch or sideways. this can produce an overpowering sensation that the aircraft is rolling, pitching, and yawing all at the same time, which can be compared with the sensation of rolling down a hillside. this illusion can make the pilot quickly become disoriented and lose control of the aircraft. exemple 383 Coriolis illusion.

Question 135-39 : A pilot who is trying to pick up a fallen object from the cockpit floor during a tight turn, may experience ?

Coriolis illusion.

The coriolis illusion is caused by making a quick head movement during a constant rate turn that has ceased stimulating the inner ear. the most common occurrence of this is a pilot making a timed 180 degree turn for one minute, dropping a pen, approach plate etc... thus stirring up the fluid in the inner ear, when the pilot comes back up he will feel as though he is straight and level, although his instruments show he is still turning. exemple 387 Coriolis illusion.

Question 135-40 : Empty field myopia is caused by ?

Lack of distant focal points.

.empty field myopia is a condition in which the eyes, having nothing specific within the available visual field upon which to focus, focus automatically at a range of the order of a few metres ahead. detection of objects outside this restricted field of view is delayed and if an object of interest does enter the restricted field of vision, the determination of its size or range would be problematic. exemple 391 Lack of distant focal points.
