  • 2. 

    The CH-53D has _______ engines and the CH-53E has _______ engines.

    • 2, 3

    • 1, 1

    • 2, 1

    • 3, 3

    Correct Answer

    Explanation
    The CH-53D helicopter has two engines, while the CH-53E helicopter has three engines.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    You need once static wand person per cargo hook when using the CH-53E dual-point hookup system.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    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:

  • 4. 

    The outside director should stand at a ___ degree angle in relation to the nose of the helicopter.

    • 90

    • 30

    • 60

    • 45

    Correct Answer
    A. 45
    Explanation
    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:

  • 5. 

    The CH-47 has how many cargo hooks?

    • 1

    • 2

    • 3

    • Answer option 4

    Correct Answer
    A. 3
    Explanation
    The CH-47 has three cargo hooks.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    When marking a landing site using panels in the "T" formation, the bottom of the "T" is placed into the wind.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    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:

  • 7. 

    Higher _________ decrease a helicopter's lift capacity. (Check all that apply)

    • Altitude

    • Temperature

    • Wind

    • Humidity

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Altitude
    A. Temperature
    A. Humidity
    Explanation
    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:

  • 8. 

    Why should the Rendezvous Point and Emergency Landing Area be on opposite sides of the load?
