Helicopter Support Team Operations Quiz
Questions and Answers
- 1.
Why should the Rendezvous Point and Emergency Landing Area be on opposite sides of the load?
- 2.
How long must the static discharge wand be connected to the cargo hook during hookup?
- A.
10 seconds.
- B.
From before hookup begins to after hookup is complete.
- C.
Just has to touch the cargo hook once or twice.
Correct Answer
B. From before hookup begins to after hookup is complete.Explanation
The static discharge wand must be connected to the cargo hook from before the hookup begins to after the hookup is complete. This ensures that any static electricity is safely discharged during the entire process, reducing the risk of sparks or electrical discharge that could potentially ignite fuel or cause other hazards. Simply touching the cargo hook once or twice would not provide sufficient time for static discharge and may not effectively eliminate the static charge.Rate this question:

You need once static wand person per cargo hook when using the CH-53E dual-point hookup system.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
When using the CH-53E dual-point hookup system, it is necessary to have one static wand person per cargo hook. This is because the static wand person is responsible for ensuring that the cargo hook is properly aligned and connected to the load. Having one static wand person per cargo hook helps to ensure the safety and correct attachment of the load during the operation. Therefore, the statement is true.Rate this question:

Higher _________ decrease a helicopter's lift capacity. (Check all that apply)
- A.
Altitude
- B.
Temperature
- C.
Wind
- D.
Humidity
Correct Answer(s)
A. Altitude
B. Temperature
D. HumidityExplanation
Higher altitude, temperature, and humidity can decrease a helicopter's lift capacity. When the altitude increases, the air density decreases, resulting in less lift. Higher temperatures also decrease air density, making it harder for the helicopter to generate lift. Additionally, higher humidity levels can affect the air density, making it less conducive to lift generation. Therefore, all three factors can have a negative impact on a helicopter's lift capacity.Rate this question:

When marking a landing site using panels in the "T" formation, the bottom of the "T" is placed into the wind.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
When marking a landing site using panels in the "T" formation, the bottom of the "T" is not placed into the wind. This is because the panels are typically placed in a way that the top of the "T" points into the wind. This allows the wind to flow over the panels and create a visual reference for pilots during landing. Placing the bottom of the "T" into the wind would not serve the intended purpose of marking the landing site effectively.Rate this question:

The outside director should stand at a ___ degree angle in relation to the nose of the helicopter.
- A.
90
- B.
30
- C.
60
- D.
45
Correct Answer
D. 45Explanation
The outside director should stand at a 45-degree angle in relation to the nose of the helicopter. This angle allows the director to have a clear view of the helicopter's movements and communicate effectively with the pilot. Standing at a 45-degree angle also ensures that the director is not directly in front of the helicopter, reducing the risk of being hit by the rotor blades.Rate this question:
