Eye movements during daytime collision avoidance scanning should
not exceed 10 degrees and view each sector at least 1 second. Scanning is more effective when the operator focuses on a short segment (approximately 10 degrees) for several seconds before moving on.

Scanning is more effective when the operator focuses on a short segment (approximately 10 degrees) for several seconds before moving on.
See lessThe most effective method of scanning for other aircraft for collision avoidance during daylight hours is to use
a series of short, regularly spaced eye movements to search each 10-degree sector. Scanning is more effective when the operator focuses on a short segment (approximately 10 degrees) for several seconds before moving on.

See lessWhich technique should a remote pilot use to scan for traffic? A remote pilot should
systematically focus on different segments of the sky for short intervals. Scanning is more effective when the operator focuses on a short segment (approximately 10 degrees) for several seconds before moving on.

See lessWhat effect does haze have on the ability to see traffic or terrain features during flight?
All traffic or terrain features appear to be farther away than their actual distance.

See lessWhy is fatigue hazardous to flight safety?
Fatigue may not be apparent to a pilot until serious errors are made (an impaired pilot is a dangerous pilot). Fatigue leads to degradation of attention and concentration, impaired coordination, and problems communicating.

See lessA pilot experiencing the effects of hyperventilation should be able to restore the proper carbon dioxide level in the body by
slowing the breathing rate, breathing into a paper bag, or talking aloud. One method to control the symptoms of hypoventilation is to slow down the breathing rate or breath in a bag.

See lessWhich would most likely result in hyperventilation?
Emotional tension, anxiety, or fear. Emotional events that can cause an increase in breathing could possibly lead to hyperventilation.

Emotional events that can cause an increase in breathing could possibly lead to hyperventilation.
See lessWhen a stressful situation is encountered in flight, an abnormal increase in the volume of air breathed in and out can cause a condition known as
Hyperventilation. Abnormal increase in air breathed would cause an increase in oxygen levels which could in turn lead to hyperventilation.

See lessRapid or extra deep breathing while using oxygen can cause a condition known as
Hyperventilation. Hyperventilation is caused by too much oxygen in the body.
