You received several shipments in for airlift; which one will you not mark with a center of balance (C/B)?
-
Single pallet.
-
Small piece of rolling stock weighing 500 pounds.
-
Shipment of pipes that are 13 feet long.
-
Three-pallet train.
Correct Answer
A. Single pallet.Explanation
The center of balance (C/B) is typically marked on shipments that have the potential to become unbalanced during transportation. In this case, the single pallet is the only item that does not have any specific characteristics that would affect its balance. The small piece of rolling stock, being a moving object, may have a different center of balance that needs to be marked. The shipment of pipes, being long and potentially unevenly distributed, may also require marking the C/B. The three-pallet train, being a larger and more complex shipment, may also need the C/B marked to ensure balance. Therefore, the single pallet is the only item that does not require marking the C/B.Rate this question:

This is because plastic or over wrapping can interfere with the RFID signal, making it difficult for the tag to be read accurately. By attaching the tag outside of any plastic or over wrapping, it can have a clear line of sight with the RFID reader, allowing for accurate and efficient tracking of the pallet.Rate this question:

Where on the aircraft should hazardous materials be loaded?
-
Aft of non-jettisonable cargo.
-
Forward on non-jettisonable cargo.
-
Anywhere, as long as it is compatible.
-
On the right side only, as long as it is compatible.
Correct Answer
A. Aft of non-jettisonable cargo.Explanation
Hazardous materials should be loaded aft of non-jettisonable cargo on an aircraft. This is because non-jettisonable cargo cannot be easily removed in case of an emergency, so it is safer to have hazardous materials located behind them. Placing hazardous materials in this position helps to minimize the risk of them causing harm or damage in the event of an emergency situation.Rate this question:

When can passengers enter or exit an aircraft during concurrent servicing operations?
-
When a jet way or stairs are used and refueling operations are on the opposite side of the aircraft.
-
When a jet way or stairs are used and refueling operations are on the same side of the aircraft.
-
When the cargo load team chief tells them to.
-
Never.
Correct Answer
A. When a jet way or stairs are used and refueling operations are on the opposite side of the aircraft.Explanation
Passengers can enter or exit an aircraft during concurrent servicing operations when a jet way or stairs are used and refueling operations are on the opposite side of the aircraft. This ensures that passengers are not in close proximity to the refueling operations, reducing the risk of accidents or incidents. Using a jet way or stairs on the opposite side of the aircraft allows for a safe and controlled pathway for passengers to board or disembark without interfering with the refueling process.Rate this question:
