Rely on body sensations
- B.
Increase the breathing rate

Taking a self-assesssment hazardous attitude inventory test
- B.
Understanding the drive to have the “right stuff”
- C.
Obtaining proper flight instruction and experience during training
- 18.Most pilots have fallen prey to dangerous tendencies or behavior problems at some time. Some of these dangerous tendencies or behavior patterns which must be identified and eliminated include:
- A.
Deficiencies in instrumental skills and knowledge of aircraft system or limitations
- B.
Perform deficiencies from human factors such as fatigue, illness, or emotional problems
- C.
Peer pressure, get-there-itis, loss of positional or situational awareness, and operating without adequate fuel reserves
- 19.While on an IFR flight, a pilot merges from a cloud to find himself within 300 feet of a helicopter, which of the following alternatives best illustrates the “MACHO” reaction:
- A.
He is not too concerned, everything will be alright
- B.
He flies a little closer, just to show him
