On March 29th 1977, at Tenerife, a Boeing 747 of Pan American and another of KLM were involved in the most fatal crash of the aviation history. On this day, the visibility was greatly reduced due to fog.

The KLM 747 received a flight clearance. The First Officer finishes his readback by saying "We are now ready for take-off". The controller replies "OK, stand-by for take-off". However, the crew of the KLM 747 only heard the part 'OK' because the rest of the sentence was cut off due to a transmission from another aircraft on the frequency (an interruption). The captain of the KLM 747 interpreted the 'OK' as a clearance for take-off and started the take-off roll. But at the same time, the 747 of Pan Am was taxiing on the runway, leading to the fatal crash.

A newly hired young pilot experiences a common cold and prefers NOT to call in sick to work.

Which of the following statements is true?

This question has been flagged as being in an exam by multiple students, give it more attention

A

Aerodontalgia barotrauma is frequently associated with colds: swelling of soft tissues around the teeth prevents the exchange of gas, causing pain. The greatest risk is during rapid climbs at low altitudes

B

Sinus barotrauma can be very painful, distracting the pilot from flying: if the paranasal sinuses fall to equalise pressure, hearing can be impaired. This most frequently occurs in the climb at low altitudes

C

Flying with a cold can lead to spatial disorientation: if the pressure equalises in one ear but NOT the other, this can cause different stimulations in the inner ear, leading to dizziness and vertigo

D

Otic barotrauma can be very painful, distracting the pilot from flying: it can result in ruptured ear drums, and most frequently occurs in the climb at high altitudes

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 realize 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 controllers system and the on-board TCAS of each aircraft. Corrective action had to be taken by each aircraft to re-establish separation. Select 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:
