cockpit NEXRAD. NEXRAD Abnormalities Although NEXRAD is a compilation of stations across the country, there can be abnormalities associated with the system. Some of the abnormalities are listed below. • Ground clutter • Strobes and spurious radar data • Sun strobes, when ... aircraft that deploy metallic dust and may reflect the radar signature NEXRAD Limitations In addition to the abnormalities listed, the NEXRAD system does have some specific limitations. Base Reflectivity The NEXRAD base reflectivity does not provide adequate information from which…

- Chapter 17: Aeromedical Factors › Treatment of Hypoxia › Hyperventilation
Hyperventilation Hyperventilation is the excessive rate and depth of respiration leading to abnormal loss of carbon dioxide from the blood. This condition occurs more often among pilots than is generally recognized. It seldom incapacitates completely, but it causes disturbing symptoms ... cases, increased breathing rate and anxiety further aggravate the problem. Hyperventilation can lead to unconsciousness due to the respiratory system’s overriding mechanism to regain control of breathing. Pilots encountering an unexpected stressful situation may subconsciously increase their breathing rate…
