-
135 degrees.
-
360 degrees.
Correct Answer
A. 135 degrees.Explanation
Adjacent dents on a SMDC booster tip should be allowed to have at least 135 degrees of arc between them. This is because the question is asking for the minimum angle between the dents, and 135 degrees is the option that provides the largest angle. A larger angle between the dents would allow for better stability and structural integrity of the booster tip.Rate this question:

When removing the F-15 #3 pyrotechnic module on an aircraft, you prevent damage to SMDC lines by
-
Rotating the lines only, not the fittings.
-
Rotating the fittings only, not the lines.
-
Rotating the ferrule assembly a full 360 degrees.
-
Only installing protective caps when the lines are back at the shop.
Correct Answer
A. Rotating the fittings only, not the lines.Explanation
Rotating the fittings only, not the lines, prevents damage to SMDC (Secondary Multiplex Data Concentrator) lines when removing the F-15 #3 pyrotechnic module on an aircraft. This is because rotating the fittings allows for a controlled and secure disconnection of the module without putting strain or stress on the lines themselves. By rotating only the fittings, the lines can be safely disconnected and removed without causing any damage or compromising the integrity of the SMDC lines.Rate this question:
