    1. Mucocele

    2. Submucosal hematoma

    3. Polyp

    4. Pneumatocele

  4. The following statements concerning the use of Positive Pressure Breathing (PPB) for G-protection (PBG) are true EXCEPT:

    2. PBG can approximately double the duration of G-exposure that a pilot can tolerate.

    3. PBG is effective in preventing G-LOC when used without anti-G trousers.

  7. Which of the following statements regarding stereopsis in aviation is true?

    1. Stereopsis requires good visual acuity in both eyes (with or without correction).

    2. Stereopsis depends upon relatively equal refractive error in both eyes (i.e., no evidence of anisometropia).

    3. Impaired conjugate ocular motility, especially heterotropias, may significantly impact stereopsis.

    4. Central brain fusion of the disparate images from both eyes is required for normal stereopsis.

    5. All of the above.

  8. Cabin air is exchanged every:

    1. 1-2 mins
