Point B Point C Point A Point D

12 - Which optical illusion might be caused by a runway with an upslope during the approach? The pilot has the feeling that the approach is too low and therefore approaches the runway above the regular glide slope The pilot has the feeling that the approach is too slow and speeds up above the normal approach speed The pilot has the feeling that the approach is too fast and reduces the speed below the normal approach speed The pilot has the feeling that the approach is too high and therefore descents below the regular glide slope

13 - A Grey-out is the result of... Hyperventilation. Tiredness. Hypoxia. Positive g-forces.

19 - What is the parallax error? Wrong interpretation of instruments caused by the angle of vision Misperception of speed during taxiing Long-sightedness due to aging especially during night A decoding error in communication between pilots

20 - Which characteristic is important when choosing sunglasses used by pilots? Curved sidepiece Non-polarised Unbreakable No UV filter

21 - What is a latent error? An error which only has consequences after landing An error which has an immediate effect on the controls An error which is made by the pilot actively and consciously An error which remains undetected in the system for a long time

22 - Which of the human senses is most influenced by hypoxia? The oltfactory perception (smell) The tactile perception (sense of touch) The auditory perception (hearing) The visual perception (vision)

25 - During flight you have to solve a problem, how to you proceed? There is no time for solving problems during flight Solve problem immediately, otherwise refer to the operationg handbook Contact other pilot via radio for help, keep flying Primarily fly the airplane and keep it stable, then attend to the problem and keep flying the airplane

26 - Complacency is a risk due to... Increased cockpit automation. The high error rate of technical systems. The high number of mistakes normally made by humans. Better training options for young pilots.
