Front

What are the two main screens in digital flight instrument systems used in light general aviation airplanes?

Back

The two main screens are the primary flight display (PFD) and the multifunction display (MFD).

Front

What is the most effective way to use your eyes during night flight?

Back

Scan slowly to permit off-center viewing.

Front

What increases the risk of spatial disorientation for pilots?

Back

Ignoring the sensations of muscles and inner ear, especially when visual cues are taken away in instrument meteorological conditions (IMC).

Front

What can pilots experience when transitioning to an electronic flight display?

Back

Information overload.

Front

How can the danger of spatial disorientation during flight in poor visual conditions be reduced?

Back

By having faith in the instruments rather than relying on sensory organs.

Front

What does PFD stand for in aviation?

Back

Primary Flight Display.

Front

What does MFD stand for in aviation?

Back

Multifunction Display.

Front

What is spatial disorientation?

Back

A condition where a pilot's perception of direction does not match reality, often due to lack of visual references.

Front

What are instrument meteorological conditions (IMC)?

Back

Weather conditions that require pilots to fly primarily by reference to instruments due to poor visibility.

Front

Why is it important to scan slowly during night flights?

Back

It allows for off-center viewing, which helps in better visual perception in low-light conditions.
