Question 1

What is the minimum vision requirement (uncorrected or corrected) for distant vision in a military aviation medical exam?

Accepted Answer

20/400 correctable to 20/20

Answer

Applicants for military aviation must have distant vision correctable to 20/20 in each eye; uncorrected vision as poor as 20/400 may be acceptable depending on the service branch.

Question 2

What is hypoxia in the context of aviation?

Accepted Answer

Oxygen deficiency in body tissues

Answer

Hypoxia is a state of oxygen deficiency in body tissues that impairs brain function and can incapacitate a pilot, particularly at high altitudes.

Question 3

At approximately what altitude does time of useful consciousness (TUC) become critically short without supplemental oxygen?

Accepted Answer

25,000 feet

Answer

At 25,000 feet, time of useful consciousness is only 3–5 minutes, making rapid access to supplemental oxygen essential.

Question 4

Which spatial disorientation illusion involves a false sensation of wings-level flight when actually banked?

Accepted Answer

The leans

Answer

The leans occur when a pilot's vestibular system has adapted to a gradual bank and incorrectly senses wings-level flight while the aircraft is actually banked.

Question 5

What is the IMSAFE checklist used for in aviation?

Accepted Answer

Pilot self-assessment of fitness to fly

Answer

IMSAFE (Illness, Medication, Stress, Alcohol, Fatigue, Emotion) is a personal checklist pilots use to assess their own fitness to fly on a given day.
