63
Hypoxia Name four types of hypoxia and describe them.
Hypoxic - altitude hypoxia caused by insufficient partial pressure of oxygen.
64
Hypoxia Histotoxic - Alcohol and drug use, cannot be corrected by supplemental oxygen because the uptake of oxygen is impaired at the tissue level
65
Hypoxia Hypemic - reduction of the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood as a result of anemia, carbon monoxide poisoning, or excessive smoking.
66
Hypoxia Stagnant hypoxia - poor circulation of the blood because of failure of the circulatory system to pump blood. It can be caused by pressure breathing or excessive G-forces.

94
Ice Roughness spoils the smooth flow of air causing early flow separation

96
Ice What effect does frost have on stall speed?

97
Ice If you begin to accumulate ice and you anticipate there is a warm front aloft, should you try to climb?
98
Ice Depends on the situation, but the decision to either turn back or climb should be made quickly before too much ice accumulates which would preclude a climb.
99
Ice If you accumulate ice, what precaution should you take on landing?
100
Ice Avoid abrupt maneuvers because the aircraft has lost some aerodynamic efficiency, land with power at a higher than normal airspeed, be cautious about the use of flaps.
101
Ice How can the NWS observe actual icing conditions?
102
Ice They cannot. They can identify regions where icing is possible but they need PIREPS to know for sure.
