(016) An example of something that should not be published in an OI would be
-
Selection procedures for NCO of the Quarter
-
CTK control procedures
-
Cold weather procedures
-
Installation traffic rules
Correct Answer
A. Installation traffic rulesExplanation
Installation traffic rules should not be published in an OI because they are typically specific to a particular installation and may not be applicable or relevant to other locations. OIs are typically used to provide general guidance and procedures that are applicable across multiple locations or units. Publishing installation-specific rules in an OI could lead to confusion and potential violations if individuals from other installations or units try to apply those rules in their own contexts.

(018) Which inspection is basically a flight preparedness check?
-
Preflight
-
Postflight
-
Thruflight
-
End-of-runway
Correct Answer
A. PreflightExplanation
The preflight inspection is a flight preparedness check that is conducted before every flight. It involves a thorough examination of the aircraft's systems, controls, and overall condition to ensure that it is safe and ready for flight. This inspection includes checking the fuel levels, engine oil, tires, control surfaces, and other critical components. It is essential to identify any potential issues or discrepancies before takeoff to prevent any in-flight emergencies or malfunctions.Rate this question:

(018) If a basic postflight inspection is not required, the thru-flight inspection is normally performed
-
Prior to an aircraft going on alert and again before a flight after completion of the alert period
-
After flights when a turn-around sortie or a continuation flight is scheduled
-
Immediately prior to a basic post flight inspection
-
After the last flight of a specified flying period
Correct Answer
A. After flights when a turn-around sortie or a continuation flight is scheduledExplanation
The correct answer is after flights when a turn-around sortie or a continuation flight is scheduled. This is because a thru-flight inspection is a less comprehensive inspection compared to a postflight inspection. It is performed to ensure that the aircraft is safe to continue flying without any immediate maintenance or repair needs. Therefore, it makes sense to perform the thru-flight inspection after flights when a turn-around sortie or a continuation flight is scheduled, as this allows for a quick turnaround and ensures the aircraft is ready for the next flight.Rate this question:
