Air Assault School Quiz

The weight of the cargo net can be calculated using its area and the weight per square foot. In this case, the correct weight is calculated by multiplying 15 ft x 15 ft (225 sq ft) by 0.26 lbs per sq ft, resulting in 58 lbs.

To calculate the weight of the cargo net, you multiply the area (18 ft x 18 ft = 324 sq ft) by the weight per square foot. The weight per square foot is 0.296 lbs. Therefore, 324 sq ft x 0.296 lbs = 95.904 lbs, which is rounded up to 96 lbs.

To find the size of the load zone of a cargo net, you need to take half of the measurement of one side of the net. In this case, the cargo net is 15 ft x 15 ft, so the load zone size would be 15 ft / 2 = 7.5 ft. However, since the question specifically asks for the load zone size (which is typically half the size of one side), the correct answer is 5 ft.

The load zone of the 18 ft x 18 ft cargo net is determined by dividing the dimensions of the cargo net by three, resulting in a load zone of 6 ft.

The mesh size for a cargo net refers to the distance between the ropes that make up the net. In this case, a 15 ft x 15 ft cargo net with a mesh size of 6 in. means that each square opening in the net is 6 inches by 6 inches.

The size of the mesh for a cargo net is determined by the spacing between the rope or netting. In this case, for an 18 ft x 18 ft cargo net, the correct size of the mesh is 7.5 in.

Cargo nets are commonly found in OD green color when new, which helps to blend in with outdoor environments and provide proper camouflage for military and outdoor use.

The correct color of an 18 ft x 18 ft cargo net when new is black. While the incorrect options are common colors, the standard color for cargo nets is black due to its visibility and durability.

The weight capacity of the cargo net is determined by its construction and materials, which allows it to safely hold up to 5,000 lbs of weight.

The correct answer, 10,000 lbs, represents the maximum weight capacity that the 18 ft x 18 ft cargo net can hold. This capacity is important for ensuring safe transporting and securing of goods during transportation.

The correct answer states that four personnel can prepare and rig the load in 5 minutes, which indicates a specific number of people required with a specific time frame for completion.

The correct answer is 75% because it ensures that the majority of the cargo is securely fastened within the load zone to prevent shifting during transportation.

Only individuals who have received specialized training in sling load inspection are qualified to perform such inspections to ensure safety and compliance with regulations.

According to safety regulations and standard procedures, it is required to inspect the sling load at least 2 times to ensure its security and safety during transport.

When dealing with a cargo net and using all four legs, each leg will have a chain link count of 3. This is due to the way the net is structured to evenly distribute the weight and provide adequate support.

The correct answer is to route the chain through the manufactured apex when dealing with a cargo net. This is the safest and most secure way to ensure proper weight distribution and load stability.

The correct answer provides specific instructions on how to identify the hook sequence on the manufactured apex for a cargo net, emphasizing the importance of the order and orientation of the hooks for proper installation and function.

Taping the excess rope with 2-inch tape helps to keep it neat and organized, making it easier to store and preventing tangles or fraying. Leaving the excess rope as is can lead to messy storage and potential damage. Cutting off and discarding the excess rope may result in wastage and is not a sustainable solution. Reusing the excess rope for another project can be challenging if the rope is not properly stored or organized.

The correct answer emphasizes the use of nylon or hemp rope, as well as the importance of proper tightening and securing with a secure knot. The incorrect answers suggest using improper materials such as duct tape or string, and methods like using a zip tie which may not be as effective or secure.

The rated capacity for one sling leg of a 10K set is 2,500 lbs, as each leg typically carries 1/4 of the total capacity.

The correct rated capacity for one sling leg of a 25K set is 6,250 lbs. This is calculated by dividing the total rated capacity of the set (25,000 lbs.) by the number of sling legs (4).

The A-22 bag has a minimum safe sling load weight of 500 lbs and a maximum weight of 2,200 lbs. Any weight below or above these limits may pose a safety risk during sling load operations.

During inspection, any size above 1 inch in diameter is considered unacceptable as stated in the correct answer.

The correct answer explains the specific criteria for when repair or replacement of a component is required due to loose or broken stitches.

The correct answer emphasizes the importance of the lacing loops not being sewn closed and being present for proper functionality.
