Select the correct statement concerning the human ear from the options below.

When standing upright, the utriculus senses linear acceleration along the z axis as well as gravity.

At the oval window, vibrating the chain of ossicles induces pressure waves in the endolymph.

The chain of ossicles is in the middle ear and connects the vibrations in the tympanic membrane to the sensors in the semicircular canals.

The crew of an Airbus A320 is flying towards an airport in severe thunderstorms and reported wind shear conditions. Due to several aircraft going around, delays are to be expected and the crew is cleared into a holding pattern. Preoccupied with the weather ahead of them, the crew fails to notice that they have accidentally pulled back the thrust levers too far, disabling the autothrottle. As airspeed drops, and aerodynamic buffet sets in, it is interpreted by the crew as entry into turbulence. When the aircraft actually stalls, the crew is convinced to have encountered wind shear and performs the appropriate escape manoeuvre. As the manoeuvre includes applying full thrust, the crew can successfully recover from the stall and land safely. What is correct regarding the initial error?

It is a latent error, because it could only manifest itself because of the wind shear conditions.

Applying the SHELL model, the error was due to environmental issues.

It can be regarded as a violation, as approaches in wind shear are forbidden by most companies’ SOPs.

The error was due to internal factors.

Which of the following describes internal respiration?

An aircraft departs from a major airport. According to the pre-flight brief, the Commander flies the departure procedure and the Co-Pilot monitors speed, level, and communications. After departure, due to the distraction caused by ATC transmissions, the Co-Pilot retracts the flaps without noticing that the speed is below that required for flap retraction. While responding to the subsequent speed warning, the Commander allows the aircraft to climb above its cleared altitude. What are the error types illustrated in this scenario? 1. Communication error: Co-Pilot fails to inform the Commander of the speed before retracting the flaps 2. Communication error: Co-Pilot fails to tell the Commander about the altitude deviation 3. Handling error: Commander fails to control the speed and fails to control the rate of climb 4. Procedural error: Co-Pilot fails to monitor the speed and altitude 5. Procedural error: Commander fails to achieve the correct flap retraction speed 6. Procedural error: Commander and Co-Pilot fail to level the aircraft at the cleared altitude

A pilot is performing a visual final approach at night when he/she asks the control tower to dim the runway lights, as he/she realises that his/her capacity to judge the distance from the runway is diminished. Is that request justified?

No, because the focussing process relies on the amount of light passing through the cornea and pupil, and so the light intensity is important for depth perception.

Yes, because the lens needs time to accommodate a different light intensity, and the ability to focus is affected by changes in the light intensity.

No, because the pupil will narrow quickly due to the bright runway lights, reducing the amount of light entering the eye, and enabling the cones to function properly.

Yes, because depth perception may be impaired if the rods and cones on the retina are exposed to bright light after dark adaptation.
