  • Judgment and decision-making abilities can be adversely affected by even small amounts of alcohol.
  • A small amount of alcohol increases vision acuity.
  • Consuming an equal amount of water will increase the destruction of alcohol and alleviate a hangover.

  • All traffic or terrain features appear to be farther away than their actual distance.
  • Haze causes the eyes to focus at infinity.
  • The eyes tend to overwork in haze and do not detect relative movement easily.

  • The pilot is lazy and rushes to get done quickly.
  • The pilot hurries to get done in order to rest.
  • Fatigue may not be apparent to a pilot until serious errors are made (an impaired pilot is a dangerous pilot).
