  1. The Private Pilot

  2. Class 6 - Aeromedical Factors, Aeronautical Decision Making.

  3. Objective: To review the “go/no-go” decision-making process from the inside out, starting with the self.

  4. Self Assessment Do you feel like you have to fly? “Get Thereitis” Do you really feel like you want to fly?

  5. Risk Management& Pilot Self Assessment

  6. Environmental and Health Factors Affecting Pilot Performance • Drugs = Bad • Alcohol = Bad • Sick = Bad

  7. Drugs: FAR 91.17 (b) • Except in an emergency, no pilot of a civil aircraft may allow a person who appears to be intoxicated or who demonstrates by manner or physical indications that the individual is under the influence of drugs (except a medical patient under proper care) to be carried in that aircraft.

  8. More Drugs: § 91.19 Carriage of narcotic drugs, marihuana, and depressant or stimulant drugs or substances. • (a) Except as provided in paragraph (b) of this section, no person may operate a civil aircraft within the United States with knowledge that narcotic drugs, marihuana, and depressant or stimulant drugs or substances as defined in Federal or State statutes are carried in the aircraft. • (b) Paragraph (a) of this section does not apply to any carriage of narcotic drugs, marihuana, and depressant or stimulant drugs or substances authorized by or under any Federal or State statute or by any Federal or State agency.

  9. Alcohol:§ 91.17 Alcohol or drugs. • (a) No person may act or attempt to act as a crewmember of a civil aircraft—(1) Within 8 hours after the consumption of any alcoholic beverage;(2) While under the influence of alcohol; • (3) While using any drug that affects the person's faculties in any way contrary to safety; or • (4) While having an alcohol concentration of 0.04 or greater in a blood or breath specimen. Alcohol concentration means grams of alcohol per deciliter of blood or grams of alcohol per 210 liters of breath.

  10. Alcohol:§67.307 mental: • (4) Substance dependence, except where there is established clinical evidence, satisfactory to the Federal Air Surgeon, of recovery, including sustained total abstinence from the substance(s) for not less than the preceding 2 years. As used in this section—

  11. Alcohol:§67.307 mental: • (4) (i) “Substance” includes: alcohol; other sedatives and hypnotics; anxiolytics; opioids; central nervous system stimulants such as cocaine, amphetamines, and similarly acting sympathomimetics; hallucinogens; phencyclidine or similarly acting arylcyclohexylamines; cannabis; inhalants; and other psychoactive drugs and chemicals; and

  12. Alcohol:§67.307 mental: • (4) (ii) “Substance dependence” means a condition in which a person is dependent on a substance, other than tobacco or ordinary xanthine-containing (e.g., caffeine) beverages, as evidenced by— • (A) Increased tolerance; • (B) Manifestation of withdrawal symptoms; • (C) Impaired control of use; or • (D) Continued use despite damage to physical health or impairment of social, personal, or occupational functioning.

  13. Alcohol:§67.307 mental: • (4) (b) No substance abuse within the preceding 2 years defined as: • (1) Use of a substance in a situation in which that use was physically hazardous, if there has been at any other time an instance of the use of a substance also in a situation in which that use was physically hazardous; • (2) A verified positive drug test result, an alcohol test result of 0.04 or greater alcohol concentration, or a refusal to submit to a drug or alcohol test required by the U.S. Department of Transportation or an agency of the U.S. Department of Transportation; or • (3) Misuse of a substance…(iho of Uncle FAA)

  14. How soon after the conviction for driving while intoxicated by alcohol or drugs shall it be reported to the FAA, Civil Aviation Security Division? • A) No later than 60 days after the motor vehicle action. • B) No later than 30 working days after the motor vehicle action. C) Required to be reported upon renewal of medical certificate.

  15. No person may attempt to act as a crewmember of a civil aircraft with • .008 percent by weight or more alcohol in the blood. • .004 percent by weight or more alcohol in the blood. • .04 percent by weight or more alcohol in the blood.

  16. Under what condition, if any, may a pilot allow a person who is obviously under the influence of drugs to be carried aboard an aircraft? • In an emergency or if the person is a medical patient under proper care. • Only if the person does not have access to the cockpit or pilot's compartment. • Under no condition.

  17. A person may not act as a crewmember of a civil aircraft if alcoholic beverages have been consumed by that person within the preceding • 8 hours. • 12 hours. • 24 hours.

  18. Spatial Disorientation

  19. The danger of spatial disorientation during flight in poor visual conditions may be reduced by • shifting the eyes quickly between the exterior visual field and the instrument panel. • having faith in the instruments rather than taking a chance on the sensory organs. • leaning the body in the opposite direction of the motion of the aircraft.

  20. If a pilot experiences spatial disorientation during flight in a restricted visibility condition, the best way to overcome the effect is to • rely upon the aircraft instrument indications. • concentrate on yaw, pitch, and roll sensations. • consciously slow the breathing rate until symptoms clear and then resume normal breathing rate.

  21. Pilots are more subject to spatial disorientation if • they ignore the sensations of muscles and inner ear. • body signals are used to interpret flight attitude. • eyes are moved often in the process of cross-checking the flight instruments.

  22. The danger of spatial disorientation during flight in poor visual conditions may be reduced by • shifting the eyes quickly between the exterior visual field and the instrument panel. • having faith in the instruments rather than taking a chance on the sensory organs. • leaning the body in the opposite direction of the motion of the aircraft.

  23. What effect does haze have on the ability to see traffic or terrain features during flight? • Haze causes the eyes to focus at infinity. • The eyes tend to overwork in haze and do not detect relative movement easily. • All traffic or terrain features appear to be farther away than their actual distance

  24. Vision in Flight & Situational Awareness

  25. Prior to starting each maneuver, pilots should • check altitude, airspeed, and heading indications. • visually scan the entire area for collision avoidance. • announce their intentions on the nearest CTAF.

  26. The most effective method of scanning for other aircraft for collision avoidance during daylight hours is to use • regularly spaced concentration on the 3-, 9-, and 12-o'clock positions. • a series of short, regularly spaced eye movements to search each 10-degree sector. • peripheral vision by scanning small sectors and utilizing off-center viewing

  27. Which technique should a pilot use to scan for traffic to the right and left during straight-and-level flight? • Systematically focus on different segments of the sky for short intervals. • Concentrate on relative movement detected in the peripheral vision area. • Continuous sweeping of the windshield from right to left.

  28. What is the most effective way to use the eyes during night flight? • Look only at far away, dim lights. • Scan slowly to permit offcenter viewing. • Concentrate directly on each object for a few seconds.

  29. The most effective method of scanning for other aircraft for collision avoidance during nighttime hours is to use • regularly spaced concentration on the 3-, 9-, and 12-o'clock positions. • a series of short, regularly spaced eye movements to search each 30-degree sector. • peripheral vision by scanning small sectors and utilizing off-center viewing.

  30. What procedure is recommended when climbing or descending VFR on an airway? • Execute gentle banks, left and right for continuous visual scanning of the airspace. • Advise the nearest FSS of the altitude changes. • Fly away from the centerline of the airway before changing altitude.

  31. Crew Resource Management • All Available Resources

  32. Rapid or extra deep breathing while using oxygen can cause a condition known as • hyperventilation. Which statement best defines hypoxia? A) A state of oxygen deficiency in the body.
