The EASA
ATPL Human Performance and Limitations
test bank contains questions pertaining to
040-02-01 Basics of flight physiology part 1
. The following list contains only a relatively small percentage of the pertinent
questions. Our software, which you are free to download now at no cost, will
generally contain a much more complete set of questions associated with this
test bank. This list is intended only to familiarize you in a general way with
the questions of the
Human Performance and Limitations
test bank.

That said, while the following questions are intended
as a general familiarization tool, this list may not be up-to-date nor accurate.
We do not update this website as often as we update our software, which will
contain at any moment all questions that we have for a given test / topic. Therefore,
if you need to actually study for your test, instead of using the list below,
we strongly, strongly encourage you to download our GroundSchool
EASA ATPL
Written Test Prep Software and Apps. Not only is it more complete and up-to-date, but is also considerably faster and more efficient as a study tool.

- The following statements are true except:
- The partial pressure of the respiratory gases within the pulmonary alveoli is
- A smoker of 20 cigarettes a day at height will suffer from Anaemic Hypoxia and will have a raised carboxy- haemoglobin level of about 7%. He/she will start to suffer from Hypoxia approximately 4 - 5,000 ft below that of a non-smoker.
- A healthy young subject should have the following lung volumes
- What is the Time of Useful Consciousness for a rapid decompression at 25.000 ft?
- The following statement about ozone is false:
- Some hours after a rapid decompression at FL 300 you experience pain in the joints. Which of following answers is correct?
- How much of the air is occupied by nitrogen?
- With reference to humidity:40 - 60% is optimal,Cabin humidity is normally approx 30%,Dehydration will affect crew performance,Humidity has no effect on crew performance,
- Which of the following symptoms can indicate the beginning of hypoxia?Blue lips and finger nails.Euphoria.Flatulence.Unconsciousness.
- Which of the following statements, if any, are correct?Euphoria is a possible result of hypoxiaEuphoria can lead to degraded decisions in flight
- Cardiac output is:
- The chemical composition of the earths atmosphere (ICAO standard atmosphere) is:
- Hyperventilation is due to an excessive rate of breathing and can produce the following symptoms:
- The temperature lapse rate:
- To maintain sea level conditions at 25.000 ft, the percentage of oxygen breathing is:
- Why is hypoxia especially dangerous for pilots flying solo:
- Air at an altitude of 18.000 feet contains, approximately:
- If someone hyperventilates due to stress his blood will get:
- To overcome the symptoms of hyperventilation, a pilot should:
- The heart muscle is supplied with blood from:
- You should not dispense blood without prior information from your flight surgeon. The most important reason for this advise is:
- The following may occur during gradual depressurisation between 12.000 and 18.000 ft:
