Pressure and volume of a gas are inversely proportional at constant temperature.

Volume and temperature of a gas are directly proportional at constant pressure.

Total pressure of a gas mixture is sum of partial pressures of each gas.

Pressure exerted by a single gas in a mixture.

Combination of Boyle's and Charles' law.

Network that pumps blood through the body and lungs.

Organ that pumps blood throughout the body.

Blood carrying oxygen.

Blood carrying waste products after delivering oxygen.

Tiny air sacs in the lungs where gas exchange occurs.

Grouping pieces of information together to make it easier to remember.

Information processed through sound.

Memory of general knowledge, facts, and concepts.

Memory of specific events and experiences.

Memory for learned motor skills.

Focusing on specific information while ignoring the rest.

Optimal task performance is achieved with the correct arousal level. Too high or too low can affect performance

False perception of aircraft attitude.

When an aircraft accelerates, the pilot feels a false pitch up, experiencing apparent increased gravity.

During deceleration, the pilot feels a false pitch down, experiencing apparent reduced gravity.

A mental state where a pilot loses their sense of the aircraft's attitude and movement, due to acceleration and deceleration.

Visual deception caused by a sloping runway, causing the pilot to misjudge altitude during landing.

A runway slope that makes the aircraft appear lower than it actually is, leading to a higher approach.

A runway slope that makes the aircraft appear higher than it actually is, leading to a lower approach.

Pilot experiences apparent increased gravity during acceleration.

Pilot experiences apparent reduced gravity during deceleration.

Environmental factors that can impact performance, such as temperature, humidity, and noise.

Actions taken to reduce the negative effects of physical stressors on performance.

Mental and emotional factors that can lead to physical stress, such as strained relationships or financial problems.

Mental and emotional stress manifesting in physical stress reactions.

Circumstances in flight that lead to stress, such as unexpected changes in plans; and inexperience with situations requiring fast decisions.

Strategies for dealing with and minimizing the effects of stress.

Mental strategies to prepare for stressful situations and optimize performance.

The balance of task demands and the level of alertness needed for optimal performance.

Cockpit design prioritizes pilots' ability to easily see all essential displays and the surrounding environment, minimizing head movements.

Aircraft windows balance external visibility with aerodynamic and weight constraints. Larger windows require thicker glass and frames.

Cockpit seats must be comfortable, adjustable, and supportive (especially lumbar) to reduce back pain and isolate pilots from vibrations.

Digital displays excel for quantitative data (e.g., fuel levels), while analogue displays are better for qualitative or comparative information.

Critical cockpit instrumentation should be clearly presented, avoiding moving tape displays.

Data that can be measured and expressed numerically.

Information describing qualities or characteristics rather than numerical measures.

Displays that show information by moving a tape. Not recommended for critical measurements.

Using checklists automatically instead of diligently, leading to missed or skipped items.

Mistakes at the human-system interface, like in the cockpit, with immediate effects.

Mistakes in design, manufacturing, or management, causing problems over time.

Pilot adherence to the designed procedure in the checklist provides optimal benefit.

Ensure sufficient text size and typeface choice to aid in poor lighting conditions for highly-worked crews.

Colors aid categorization but may lose legibility under varying light conditions.

Disruptions like radio calls can cause omissions of items in a checklist.

Items might be missed due to an external event, manual handling, or a lack of focused attention.
