With regard to fatigue, which statement is correct according to the information given under the “Medical Information” section of the TC AIM?

  1. AFinancial or family problems do not influence tolerance to fatigue.
  2. BFatigue slows reaction time and causes foolish inattentive errors.Correct answer
  3. CA fatigued person recuperates more quickly as altitude is gained.
  4. DA fatigued person must have food immediately before and during flight.

Why this is the answer

Per TC AIM-AIR (Fatigue), fatigue slows reaction time, reduces concentration, and leads to inattentive errors. The distractors are false: family/financial stress aggravates fatigue, altitude does not aid recovery, and eating before flight is not the cure.
