Read the first 6 ASI Human Factors & Crew Resource Management flashcards as text

  1. What does 'circadian rhythm disruption' mean in the context of pilot fatigue management?

    Answer: Desynchronization of the body's internal 24-hour biological clock affecting alertness

    Circadian rhythm disruption from night operations or transmeridian travel misaligns the body's sleep-wake cycle, significantly impairing pilot alertness and performance.

  2. Under 14 CFR Part 67, which medical certificate class is required to exercise airline transport pilot (ATP) privileges?

    Answer: First class

    A first-class FAA medical certificate is required to exercise ATP privileges and must be renewed annually for pilots under age 40 and every six months for those 40 and older.

  3. What makes hypoxia particularly dangerous from an aviation safety inspection standpoint?

    Answer: It impairs judgment while often producing euphoria, masking the impairment from the pilot

    The insidious danger of hypoxia is that mild impairment is accompanied by a false sense of well-being, preventing pilots from recognizing they are incapacitated.

  4. What restriction does FAR 91.17 place on flight operations related to alcohol consumption?

    Answer: No flight within 8 hours of consuming alcohol or with BAC at or above 0.04%

    FAR 91.17 prohibits acting as a crewmember within 8 hours of consuming alcohol or while having a blood alcohol concentration of 0.04% or greater.

  5. What is the aeromedical self-assessment checklist IMSAFE used to evaluate?

    Answer: Illness, Medication, Stress, Alcohol, Fatigue, Emotion — pilot fitness for flight

    IMSAFE is a pre-flight personal health checklist that helps pilots identify physiological or psychological conditions that could impair safe flight.

  6. What is 'time-of-useful-consciousness' (TUC) relevant to aviation safety inspections of pressurization systems?

    Answer: The time available to take corrective action after exposure to hypoxic conditions before incapacitation

    TUC is the interval following rapid decompression during which a pilot can take effective corrective action before hypoxia causes incapacitation.
