Identify flight safety equipment and safety protocols.
Identification should include
- pressurized cabins
- on-board oxygen
- pressure suits/space suits
- posted evacuation procedures
- emergency procedures for crew
- ejection seats
- personal parachutes
- airframe parachutes
- aircraft instrumentation
- traffic-avoidance technology
- in-flight weather systems
- fire protection systems
- auto-land features.
Process/Skill Questions:
- At what minimum altitude level should crews in unpressurized cabins begin to use oxygen?
- What should a pilot do if his/her aircraft experiences rapid depressurization?
- When flying in fog, what informs the pilot that his/her aircraft is in a spin?
- How might a pilot judge his/her readiness to fly?
- What is Automatic Dependent Surveillance—Broadcast (ADS-B)? How has the data transmitted to ADS-B in equipped aircraft improved flight safety?
