A2.U8.SB.L1 QUIZ - Pressurization & Oxygen Systems

What should a pilot do during an explosive decompression incident? (A2.U8.SB.L1)

• Rapidly reduce altitude
• Rapidly increase altitude
• Rapidly reduce airspeed
• Rapidly increase airspeed

True or False. At the maximum differential pressure, any increase in altitude will also cause an increase in cabin altitude. (A2.U8.SB.L1)

• True
• False

A pilot is operating an aircraft at night. At what cabin altitude is the pilot required to begin the use of supplemental oxygen after 30 minutes? (A2.U8.SB.L1)

• 5,000 ft
• 12,000 ft
• 12,500 ft
• 14,000 ft

What may occur during an explosive decompression? Select all that apply. (A2.U8.SB.L1)

• Dust and debris may fly around the cabin.
• The pilot and passengers may have difficulty breathing.
• The landing gear will extend.
• The airplane may rapidly lose altitude.
• Eardrums may be damaged.

What type of oxygen delivery method would be most effective at extremely high altitudes? (A2.U8.SB.L1)

• A pressure-demand system, where oxygen is supplied at high pressure. This allows the pilot to breathe even when air pressure is very low.
• A constant-flow system, where oxygen is supplied continuously at low pressure all the time. This allows the pilot to breath even when air pressure is high.

In which in-flight emergency would a pilot immediately need to reduce the airplane’s altitude? (A2.U8.SB.L1)

• Uneven fuel tank balance
• Hazardous storm conditions
• Electrical fire
• Explosive decompression

A cabin pressure regulator prevents the _______________ from exceeding its limitations. (A2.U8.SB.L1)

• oxygen level
• cabin temperature
• engine temperature
• differential pressure
