A deceleration during a straight horizontal flight can lead to the illusion of...

a descent.

a climb.

a bank.

an inverted flight.

What is a Coriolis illusion?

Wrong interpretation of altitude during approach

Apparent movement of static objects at night

False perception of colour due to strong accelerations

Heavy vertigo due to head movements during turns

Which optical illusion might be caused by a runway with an upslope during the approach?

The pilot has the feeling that the approach is too low and therefore approaches the runway above the regular glide slope

The pilot has the feeling that the approach is too fast and reduces the speed below the normal approach speed

The pilot has the feeling that the approach is too high and therefore descends below the regular glide slope

The pilot has the feeling that the approach is too slow and speeds up above the normal approach speed

What impression may be caused when approaching a runway with an upslope?

An overshoot

An undershoot

A landing beside the centerline

A hard landing

The occurrence of vertigo is most likely when moving the head...

during a climb.

during a descent.

during a straight horizontal flight.

during a turn.

A Grey-out is the result of...

hyperventilation.

positive g-forces.

tiredness.

hypoxia.

Visual illusions are mostly caused by...

binocular vision.

colour blindness.

rapid eye movements.

misinterpretation of the brain.

The human circadian cycle is based on a cycle of approximately...

13 hours.

25 hours.

10 hours.

22 hours.

The average decrease of blood alcohol level for an adult in one hour is approximately...

0.1 percent.

0.03 percent.

0.3 percent.

0.01 percent.

What has to be taken into consideration when comparing medication which is only available on prescription with medication that is available over the counter?

Generally both types of medication have to be handled in the same way

Medication which is only available on prescription is considered to have an impact on flight performance only if explicitly noted on the package insert

Medication which is available over the counter is safe as long as a doctor has not expressed an opinion to the contrary

There is a notification requirement for medication which is sold over the counter if it is taken for a period exceeding 10 days

Which answer states a risk factor for diabetes?

Alcohol consumption

Sleep deficiency

Smoking

Overweight

A risk factor for decompression sickness is...

100 % oxygen after decompression.

smoking.

sports.

scuba diving prior to flight.

Which of the following documents contain a list of criteria which have an influence on the aeronautical medical certificate or which at least demand an immediate consultation of an aeromedical examiner?

Medical certificate

Licence

Flight log

Log book

Which of the following options does NOT require an immediate consultation of an aeromedical examiner?

Pregnancy

Regular intake of medication

Preventive dental screening

First prescription of glasses

Which statement is correct with regard to the interaction between perception and experience?

Experience has a significant influence to our perception

The interaction between perception and experience is limited to optical illusions

Experience and perception are totally different parts of the perception process

The interaction has no relevance for flight safety

Which statement is correct with regard to the short-term memory?

It can store 5 (±2) items for 1 to 2 minutes

It can store 10 (±5) items for 30 to 60 seconds

It can store 3 (±1) items for 5 to 10 seconds

It can store 7 (±2) items for 10 to 20 seconds

For what approximate time period can the short-time memory store information?

3 to 7 seconds

30 to 40 seconds

10 to 20 seconds

35 to 50 seconds

What is a latent error?

An error which is made by the pilot actively and consciously

An error which only has consequences after landing

An error which has an immediate effect on the controls

An error which remains undetected in the system for a long time

What does the term "confirmation bias" mean?

The preference to find arguments to prove the own mental model

The bias to confirm each radio call

The feedback loop in a closed communication

The critical check of ambiguous situations in flight

What does the abbreviation "CFIT" mean?

Controlled Flight Into Terrain

Central Flight Instructor Training

Cargo Fire in Tail Compartment

Company Fuel Index Tool

The ongoing process to monitor the current flight situation is called...

situational awareness.

constant flight check.

situational thinking.

anticipatory check procedure.

Regarding the communication model, how can the use of the same code during radio communication be ensured?

By a particular frequency allocation

By the use of radio phraseology

By the use of proper headsets

By using radios certified for aviation use only

Which of the following attitudes are not hazardous when piloting an aircraft?

Macho

Impulsivity

Infallibility

Synergetic

In what different ways can a risk be handled appropriately?

Avoid, reduce, transfer, accept

Avoid, ignore, palliate, reduce

Ignore, accept, transfer, extrude

Extrude, avoid, palliate, transfer

Under which circumstances is it more likely to accept higher risks?

If there is not enough information available

Due to group-dynamic effects

During check flights due to a high level of nervousness

During flight planning when excellent weather is forecast

What is the meaning of "risky shift"?

Spontaneous change of landing direction when the runway has an upslope

Seat adjustment in flight

Crossing of rudder and ailerons on short final

The tendency to accept higher risks in groups

Which dangerous attitudes are often combined?

Self-abandonment and macho

Invulnerability and self-abandonment

Impulsivity and carefulness

Macho and invulnerability

What is an indication for a macho attitude?

Careful walkaround procedure

Risky flight maneuvers to impress spectators on ground

Quick resignation in complex and critical situations

Comprehensive risk assessment when faced with unfamiliar situations

Which factor can lead to human error?

Double check of relevant actions

Proper use of checklists

To be doubtful if something looks unclear or ambiguous

The bias to see what we expect to see

What is the best combination of traits with respect to the individual attitude and behaviour for a pilot?

Introverted - stable

Introverted - unstable

Extroverted - stable

Extroverted - unstable

Complacency is a risk due to...

the high number of mistakes normally made by humans.

increased cockpit automation.

better training options for young pilots.
