Reduced performance is experienced...

On 8th July 2010, the crew of a Boeing 737 from Nice to Frankfurt was cleared by the controller of Sector L14 to continue its climb to FL320. In an adjacent sector, the crew of an Airbus 319 from London to Milan were cleared to leave FL 390 and to descend to FL 330. The instruction was read back correctly, but the pilots incorrectly entered FL 320 into the FMS. Upon being handed off to sector L14, the Airbus called the controller:

"Easy 529 Yankee, descending FL320 on radar heading 150" The controller identified the traffic, however he/she did not realise the incorrect flight level reported by the Airbus. 

Shortly after, the two aircraft were converging on FL 320 and triggered potential conflict alerts on both the controller's system and the on-board TCAS of each aircraft. Corrective action had to be taken by each aircraft to re-establish separation.

 Selecte the option which correctly states the type of communication and associated disadvantage which are illustrated by this serious incident of a "level bust" with resulting loss of separation:

In flight a Commander encourages a relaxed communication atmosphere, and his/her primary aim is to please the Co- Pilot. During a weather-avoidance scenario in VMC when the Co-Pilot suggests an avoidance plan, the Commander remains passive, making NO judgements and letting the Co-Pilot make the decision. How is this described trans-cockpit authority gradient and leadership style known as?

High levels of stress may cause regression, which can lead to..

During training the instructor suddenly cuts power to simulate an engine failure. Initially the student

freezes down, but then responds quickly and executes a perfect landing. Later, when discussing it,

the student feels tired but excited by the situation. What does he exhibit?

Consider emergency situations such as engine failure in a helicopter or an impending stall in an aeroplane. Audio and visual warnings and the aircraft's attitude are stimuli to which the pilot must very quickly react by carrying out the correct recovery manoeuvre (autorotation or upset prevention). What is the most effective form of learning to allow the pilot to react quickly to the stimuli and carry out the correct manoeuvre?

Being able to observe a person's body language while having a discussion with them can improve communication. What may non-verbal communication provide information on? Their:

A private pilot is waiting for a delayed passenger. When they finally depart, the pilot decides to do a checklist from memory instead of actually reading it. In flight, he notices that he has missed an item from the checklist. What is this an example of?
