(208) You are building a multi-pallet train using one-inch couplers. Which aircraft can this train be loaded on, assuming it is properly configured?
- A.
C-5.
- B.
C-17.
- C.
C-130.
- D.
DC-10.
Correct Answer
D. DC-10.Explanation
The DC-10 is the correct answer because it is the only aircraft listed that can accommodate a multi-pallet train using one-inch couplers. The C-5, C-17, and C-130 are all military transport aircraft, but they do not have the necessary configuration to support a multi-pallet train with one-inch couplers. The DC-10, on the other hand, is a wide-body commercial aircraft that has the space and configuration to accommodate such a train.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
D. Above each axle on both sides of the vehicle.Explanation
The correct answer is "above each axle on both sides of the vehicle." This means that when marking the C/B (Center of Balance) on a vehicle, the marking should be positioned above each axle on both sides of the vehicle. This ensures that the weight distribution is balanced and helps maintain stability while the vehicle is in motion. Placing the marking above each axle on both sides allows for accurate measurement and adjustment of the vehicle's center of balance.Rate this question:
