Question 144-1 : The 'cocktail party effect' is ? [ Certification weather ]

Question 144-2 : Once a pilot has constructed a mental model heshe tends to ?

Give undue weight to information that confirms the model.

A pilot will tend to find informations that confirm his awareness of a situation and the decision he has choosen to follow even if those informations are not significativegiving undue weight to information that contradicts the model means that you are effectively trying to find ways to show that your model is wrong or favour ideas that prove your idea as being wrong

Question 144-5 : Which of the following tasks are possible to do simultaneously without mutual interference ?

Maintain manual straight and level flight and solve a problem.

Maintain manual straight and level flight is perceived to be a motor function so your full concious attention can be given over to solving that problem

Hisher self concept is going to change because of new roles and tasks which have to be incorporated.

It is most important for the acquisition of complex perceptual motor skills.

Question 144-8 : What can a pilot do to avoid automation complacency ?

Regard the automatic system as additional crew members that needs to be cross checked as well.

Question 144-9 : How can the process of learning be enhanced ?

By reinforcing successful performance.

At all levels of flying proficiency.

Question 144-11 : 'environmental capture' is a term used to describe which of the following statements 1 the tendency for a skill to be executed in an environment in which it is frequently exercised even if it is inappropriate to do so2 the tendency for a skill acquired in one aircraft type to be executed in a new ?

1 and 2 are correct.

The attention of the cockpit crew will become reduced with the consequence of 'being out of the loop'.

Question 144-13 : It is desirable to standardize as many patterns of behaviour operating procedures as possible in commercial aviation mainly because ?

Such behaviour reduces errors even under adverse circumstances.

Question 144-14 : When a pilot is facing a problem during flight he should ?

Take as much time as he needs and is available to make up his mind.

You should take your time first take a deep breath think about possible solutionsdecision making is a concept which represents a voluntary and conscious process of selection from among possible solutions for a given problem

Question 144-15 : Decision making in emergency situations requires firstly ?

Delegation of tasks and crew coordination.

Question 144-16 : The assessment of risk in a particular situation will be based on ?

Subjective perception and evaluation of situational factors.

Question 144-17 : Once a pilot has developed a certain way of thinking about a problem he will probably ?

Find it difficult to get out of that way of thinking and difficult to try a different interpretation of the data.

Question 144-18 : To maintain good situational awareness you should 1 believe only in your own interpretation of the data2 gather as much data as possible from every possible source before making inferences3 question whether your hypothesis still fits the situation as events progress and try to make time to review ?

2 3 and 4 are correct.

Question 144-19 : 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 motivatedwhich 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 dangerousthe captain can invite the copilot to ask for support if necessary

Question 144-20 : Informal roles within a crew ?

Evolve as a result of the interactions that take place among crew members.

Question 144-21 : Which behaviour is most likely to promote a constructive solution of interpersonal conflicts ?

Active listening.

Question 144-22 : During the cruising phase of a short haul flight the captain starts to smoke a cigarette in the cockpit the flying copilot asks him to stop smoking because he is a non smoker the captain tells him 'this is your problem' and continues smoking what should the co pilot do ?

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 youmost airlines do not allow pilots to smoke onboard but only passenger areas are smoke free according to the regulationsif 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

Question 144-23 : How would you describe the leadership style of a captain who primarily is interested in a friendly atmosphere within his crew who is always constructive and encouraging who usually compromises in interpersonal conflicts who trusts in the capabilities of his crew members and who leaves the crew ?

Low task orientation and high relationship orientation.

Question 144-24 : If the co pilot continuously feels unfairly treated by the captain heshe should ?

Point out the problem concentrate on hisher duties and clarify the matter at a more appropriate time.

Question 144-25 : What is the sender's frequent reason to communicate implicitly 'between the lines' ?

Afterwards heshe always can claim to have been misunderstood.

Question 144-35 : Of the following statements which apply to coordinated cooperation 1 it allows for synergy in the actions between the captain and the co pilot2 it represents the simultaneous execution of a single action by the various members of the crew3 communication here results in synchronised actions and the ?

1 and 3.

The advantages of coordination are redundancy synergy and clarification of responsability coordinated cooperation allows for synergy between the captain and copilot synchronised actions and the distribution of responsibilities coaction is a mode of cooperation which recommends working in parallel to achieve one objective

Question 144-36 : Co action is a mode of coordination which recommends ?

Working in parallel to achieve one common objective.

Question 144-37 : In order to make communication effective it is necessary to 1 avoid the synchronization of verbal and non verbal channels2 send information in line with the receiver's decoding abilities3 always concentrate on the informational aspects of the message only4 avoid increasing the number of ?

3 only is correct.

Primer why answer 4 is not correct if you know someone is much safer flight with this person please explain in most of airline companies you will fly with a copilot or a captain that you have never met before the flight does it will make the flight less safer no because you will fly following your company's sop standard operating procedure furthermore communication will not always be excellent even if you know each other

Question 144-39 : Professional languages have certain characteristics for example 1 they use a limited vocabulary2 they are rich and adapted to the context which sometimes lead to ambiguities3 their grammar is rather complicated and complex4 context provides meaning therefore reduces the risk of ambiguities ?
