At height, cockpit humidity can be between:
20-25%
40-60%
30-60%
5-15%
If in a state of stress which is impossible to overcome, the pilot will be in a state of
Eustress
Hypertension
Distress
Regression
Stimuli must be of a certain strength for the receptors to pick them up. This is called:
Sensory threshold
Sensory filter
Sensory strength
Sensory volume
If a pilot in an unpressurized aircraft suffers from severe flatulence in flight. He should:
Climb
Descend
Pressure Breathe Oxygen
Descend rapidly & seek medical advice
What is the relationshop between stress & fatigue?
No stress & no fatigue is good
All stress & fatigue is good
Stress can be good, fatigue is always bad
No stress and some fatigue is good
Performance can be increased by:
Putting a student pilot under stress
A moderate amount of stress
No stress at all if possible
Ignoring stress as all good pilots leave stress on the ground
The sequence of GAS (General Adapatation Syndrome) is:
Alarm, Resistance, Exhaustion
Resistance, Exhaustion, Alarm
Alarm, Flight, Exhaustion
Exhaustion, Resistance, Alarm
What is the relationship between stress & performance when plotted on a graph?
The relationship is linear
The relationship is exponential
There is no relationship
The relationship is in the shape of an inverted U
A person that is exposed to extreme or prolonged stress factors can perceive:
Distress
Eustress
Coping Stress
Stressors
Should a pilot fly with a bad cold, he/she could suffer from:
Chokes
Bends
Sinus Pain
Blurred Vision
According to the "General Adapatation Syndrome", which of the following statements(s) is/are correct?
1. During the alarm phase, adrenalin will cause a large release of glucose into the blood, a raised heartbeat &
blood pressure plus an increase in the rate of depth of breathing
2. During the resistance phase, the parasympathetic system releases cortisal helping in the conversion of fat into sugar
3. During the exhaustion phase, the body has to be given time to eliminate the waste products which have been generated excessively

An individual's perception of stress:
Depends on the current situation only
Is the objective evaluation of a situation & the perceived ability to cope with it
Is the subjective evaluation of a situation & the perceived ability to cope with it
Depends on the individual's arousal
The body loses water via:
The skin, lungs, & kidneys
The skin
The skin, lungs, & liver
The skin, liver, & kidneys
Even with a small ingestion of alcohol:
The brain will be stimulated thereby increasing the resistance to hypoxia
The brain functions will be increased thereby increasing performance at high altitudes
The pilot will remain unaffected
The pilot will be more susceptible to hypoxia

Agression
Agression & Anxiety
Anxiety
