Stress is a frequent aspect of the pilot's job. Under which of the following
circumstances does it occur? 1. Stress occurs whenever the pilot must revise his
plan of action and does not immediately have a solution 2. Stress occurs with
unexperienced pilots when the situational demands exceed their individual
capabilities 3. Stress occurs if a pilot is convinced that he will not be able t
o find a
solution for the problem he just is confronted with

Divided attention is the ability : 1. to execute several mental activities at al
most the
same time (i.e. when switching attention from outside the aircraft to the airspe
ed
indicator on the instrument panel) 2. to monitor the progress of a motor
programme (i.e. flying or taxiing the airplane) on a relatively subconscious lev
el,
while making a radio call at the same time (requiring a rather conscious level)
3 .to
select information and check if it is relevant to the task in hand. At the same
time
no other operation can be performed. 4. to delegate tasks to the copilot while
concentrating on the procedures
a Only 3 is false
b 1,2 and 3 are correct, 4 is false
c 1 and 3 are correct, 2 and 4 are false
d 1 and 2 are correct, 3 and 4 are false

The physiology of stress is now well known:
a the only stress hormone is adrenaline
b stress promotes an increase in physical strength rather than promoting mental
oerformance
c stress develops in 2 stages: sublimation of performance and then acceleration
of heart rate and
increase in vision
d stress slows down the production of sugar by the organism and thereby slows do
wn the heart rate

40.1.1.2. Becoming a competent pilot
id 2119
In the initial phase of flight training the relationship between confidence and
expertise can be described as:
a the pilot is competent enough to fly the aircraft at this stage, but does neit
her have a great
deal of confidence in his/her abilities nor in the whole system
b the pilot is sufficiently competent to fly and knows at this stage what he can
and cannot do
c during this learning stage, the pilot is very near to achieving full potential
knowledge of the machine
d the pilot has a sphere of expertise wich is reduced to daily use of his skills
