Module 13 (Human Factors) questions

[Spoiler Mixer]

Has anyone sat Module 13 - Human Factors?

Are the questions anything to worry about?....I've heard rumours that there are a few medical nasties thrown in for good measure!

Any comments/info appreciated

Thanks......are some of these questions for real??

Some seem more aimed at Pilots!

EG: The effect of smoking 20 cigarettes a day is to increase the apparent ambient pressure by how many thousand feet?

AND:

The max duration for which visual and sensory memory can store info is?

Hmmm.....!!

I've passed mod 13 but it was purely by a small miricle at the time there was no syllabus but the questions were things like

Colour blindness is greater between
Red and Green,
Green and blue
red and blue

the answer was Red and Green

another question was what climate is the most uncomfortable to work in

Extreme hot
Extreme cold
Doesn't matter

The answer was extreme hot apparently enineers are happy to freeze their B****cks off

As to the rest of the exam if you read the question and remember it's the CAA asking them then the answers are obvious and follow things like the AWN related to Engineers being fit for work, Drugs, Alcohol etc.

Best of luck

Can't remeber any of the question except the ones already mentioned, but if you look on the AAIB site and download the report for the 737 rotor drive cock-up, it shows a lot about what they are trying to get at and is good for the oral.

Good luck
