Cognitive and physical rehearsal of actions during training ?

Question 116-17 : It is most important for the acquisition of complex perceptual motor skills it is most important for selfcontrol leads to an increased error rate is more effective than practical training

What can a pilot do to avoid automation complacency ?

Question 116-18 : Regard the automatic system as additional crew members that needs to be cross checked as well always try to enhance your aviation related knowledge during low workload periods always fly the whole flight manually to remain in man machine loop nothing because it is system inherent

How can the process of learning be enhanced ?

Question 116-19 : By reinforcing successful performance by increasing the psychological pressure on the student by punishing the learner for unsuccessful trials by reinforcing errors

Mental rehearsal is helpful to improve flying skills ?

Question 116-20 : At all levels of flying proficiency only for student pilots only for instructor pilots only at a certain level of flying experience

A high degree of cockpit automation may alter the traditional tasks of the ?

Question 116-22 : The attention of the cockpit crew will become reduced with the consequence of 'being out of the loop' crew coordination can be neglected on long haul flights without compromizing safety the crew can pay more attention to solve the problem in an abnormal situation without monitoring the automatic systems it is guaranteed that the crew always maintains situational awareness

It is desirable to standardize as many patterns of behaviour operating ?

Question 116-23 : Such behaviour reduces errors even under adverse circumstances this lowers the ability requirement in pilot selection this reduces the amount of training required it makes the flight deck easier to design

When a pilot is facing a problem during flight he should ?

Question 116-24 : Take as much time as he needs and is available to make up his mind always make up his mind quickly to give himself as much spare time as possible avoid making up his mind until the very last minute make up his mind before consulting other crew members

Once a pilot has developed a certain way of thinking about a problem he will ?

Question 116-27 : Find it difficult to get out of that way of thinking and difficult to try a different interpretation of the data find it difficult to stick to his/her interpretation of the data find it easy to interpret the data in different ways find it impossible to get out of that way of thinking whatever happens

To maintain good situational awareness you should .1 believe only in your own ?
