Correct Answer
B. 3Explanation
In the Air Force, there are three levels of maintenance. This means that there are three distinct levels of maintenance tasks that are performed on aircraft and equipment. The first level is known as "organizational maintenance" and is performed by the operators and crews themselves. The second level is called "intermediate maintenance" and is conducted by specialized technicians who provide more in-depth repairs and maintenance. The third level is known as "depot maintenance" and involves major repairs and overhauls that are performed at dedicated facilities. These three levels ensure that maintenance tasks are carried out effectively and efficiently throughout the Air Force.Rate this question:

Which type of corrosion causes the metal surface to become rough and sometimes frosted?
- A.
Uniformed etch
- B.
Exfoliation
- C.
Galvanic
- D.
Pitting
Correct Answer
A. Uniformed etchExplanation
Uniformed etch corrosion causes the metal surface to become rough and sometimes frosted. This type of corrosion occurs when the entire surface of the metal is attacked uniformly, resulting in a loss of material and a rough texture. It is often caused by chemical reactions with the surrounding environment, such as exposure to acids or alkaline substances. This type of corrosion can weaken the metal and affect its appearance.Rate this question:

When two dissimilar metals are coupled together in the presence of an electrolyte, the effect can
- A.
Dull the surface
- B.
Strengthen the joint
- C.
Cold-weld the metals
- D.
Produce galvanic corrosion
Correct Answer
D. Produce galvanic corrosionExplanation
When two dissimilar metals are coupled together in the presence of an electrolyte, a galvanic cell is formed. This cell creates a flow of electrons between the metals, causing one metal to act as an anode and the other as a cathode. As a result, the anode metal undergoes corrosion or oxidation, while the cathode metal is protected. This process is known as galvanic corrosion, which can lead to the deterioration of the metals over time.Rate this question:

If a significant fuel leak developed while a pilot was taxiing an aircraft for take-off, it is likely
- A.
The leak would not be identified until the next scheduled phase inspection
- B.
The pilot would receive a fuel gauge warning after airborne and report it to maintenance personnel during the basic postflight inspection
- C.
The pilot would request clearance from the control tower to return his aircraft to the parking ramp and request the preflight inspection be reaccomplished to identify the problem
- D.
Maintenance personnel would identify this situation during the end-of-runway inspection and make a determination at that time on how to proceed based on technical guidance
Correct Answer
D. Maintenance personnel would identify this situation during the end-of-runway inspection and make a determination at that time on how to proceed based on technical guidanceExplanation
In the given scenario, if a significant fuel leak developed while a pilot was taxiing an aircraft for take-off, it is likely that maintenance personnel would identify this situation during the end-of-runway inspection. This is because the end-of-runway inspection is conducted just before takeoff and is specifically done to ensure the aircraft is safe for flight. During this inspection, maintenance personnel would visually inspect the aircraft for any visible issues, including fuel leaks. Once the leak is identified, they would then make a determination on how to proceed based on technical guidance.Rate this question:
-

What type of inspection is more thorough than a preflight?
- A.
Thruflight
- B.
End-of-runway
- C.
Basic postflight
- D.
Basic thruflight
Correct Answer
C. Basic postflightExplanation
A basic postflight inspection is more thorough than a preflight inspection because it is conducted after the flight has taken place. During a postflight inspection, the aircraft is thoroughly checked for any damages or issues that may have occurred during the flight. This includes checking for any signs of wear and tear, leaks, or any other problems that may have developed during the flight. This type of inspection allows for a more comprehensive assessment of the aircraft's condition and ensures that any issues are identified and addressed before the next flight.Rate this question:
