Question 15 of 37

Question 18 of 37

18. Question

What is the most effective way to use the eyes during night flight?

Look only at far away, dim lights.
Scan slowly to permit off-center viewing.
Concentrate directly on each object for a few seconds.

Question 19 of 37

19. Question

The best method to use when looking for other traffic at night is to

look to the side of the object and scan slowly.
scan the visual field very rapidly.
look to the side of the object and scan rapidly.

an increased sense of well-being.

Question 21 of 37

21. Question

Susceptibility to carbon monoxide poisoning increases as

altitude increases.
altitude decreases.
air pressure increases.

Question 22 of 37

22. Question

What is a correct response if an exhaust leak were to be detected while in flight.

Increase altitude so the effects of CO would be decreased.

Question 23 of 37

23. Question

Effects of carbon monoxide poisoning include

dizziness, blurred vision, and loss of muscle power.
