Which statement best defines hypoxia?

A state of oxygen deficiency in the body.

What effect does haze have on the ability to see traffic or terrain features during flight?

All traffic or terrain features appear to be farther away than their actual distance.

What preparation should a pilot make to adapt the eyes for night flying?

Avoid bright white lights at least 30 minutes before the flight.

Which would most likely result in hyperventilation?

Emotional tension, anxiety, or fear.

Which is not a type of hypoxia?

Hypertoxic.

What is a correct response if an exhaust leak were to be detected while in flight?

Open air vents or windows.

What is the most effective way to use the eyes during night flight?

Scan slowly to permit off-center viewing.

Which technique should a pilot use to scan for traffic to the right and left during straight-and-level flight?

Systematically focus on different segments of the sky for short intervals.

Susceptibility to carbon monoxide poisoning increases as

altitude increases.

Pilots are more subject to spatial disorientation if

body signals are used to interpret flight attitude.

Effects of carbon monoxide poisoning include

dizziness, blurred vision, and loss of muscle power.

The danger of spatial disorientation during flight in poor visual conditions may be reduced by

having faith in the instruments rather than taking a chance on the sensory organs.

Rapid or extra deep breathing while using oxygen can cause a condition known as

hyperventilation.

The best method to use when looking for other traffic at night is to

look to the side of the object and scan slowly.

Large accumulations of carbon monoxide in the human body result in

loss of muscular power

A pilot should be able to overcome the symptoms or avoid future occurrences of hyperventilation by

slowing the breathing rate, breathing into a bag, or talking aloud.

A pilot experiencing the effects of hyperventilation should be able to restore the proper carbon dioxide level in the body by

slowing the breathing rate, breathing into a paper bag, or talking aloud.

A lack of orientation with regard to the position, attitude, or movement of the aircraft in space is defined as

spatial disorientation.

A state of temporary confusion resulting from misleading information being sent to the brain by various sensory organs is defined as

spatial disorientation.

Pilots are more subject to spatial disorientation if

visual cues are taken away, as they are in instrument meteorological conditions (IMC).
