    • Tail of the aircraft and at a 30degree angle outboard of the engine being started.

    • Nose of the aircraft and at a 45degree angle inboard of the engine being started.

    • Nose of the aircraft and at a 45degree angle outboard of the engine being started.

    Correct Answer
    A. Nose of the aircraft and at a 45degree angle outboard of the engine being started.
    Explanation
    When serving as a fireguard, you position yourself at the nose of the aircraft and at a 45-degree angle outboard of the engine being started. This position allows you to have a clear view of the engine and any potential fire hazards while also staying out of the way of the starting procedure. Being at a 45-degree angle outboard of the engine ensures that you are not directly in line with the exhaust and any potential hot gases or debris that may be expelled during the start-up process.

    Generally, low pressure hoses are used for what pressures?

    • 200 psi and below

    • 300 psi and below

    • 500 psi and below

    • 1,000 psi and below

    Correct Answer
    A. 300 psi and below
    Explanation
    Low pressure hoses are typically used for pressures below 300 psi. These hoses are designed to handle lower pressure applications where a higher pressure hose would be unnecessary and potentially unsafe. Using a low pressure hose for pressures above 300 psi could result in the hose bursting or failing, leading to potential accidents or damage. Therefore, it is important to choose the appropriate hose based on the pressure requirements of the system.

    What part of a cannon plug completes the electrical circuit?

    • Metal shells

    • Connector halves

    • Dielectric contacts

    • Pin-and-socket contacts

    Correct Answer
    A. Pin-and-socket contacts
    Explanation
    Pin-and-socket contacts complete the electrical circuit in a cannon plug. These contacts consist of pins and sockets that connect and transmit electrical signals between the two connector halves. When the cannon plug is inserted and locked, the pins and sockets make contact, allowing the flow of electricity through the plug. The metal shells provide structural support and protection for the contacts, while the dielectric contacts provide insulation and prevent short circuits. However, it is the pin-and-socket contacts that directly complete the electrical circuit.

    Matter is any substance that has mass and

    • Can be seen

    • Occupies space

    • Has constant volume

    • Cannot be compressed

    Correct Answer
    A. Occupies space
    Explanation
    This answer is correct because it aligns with the definition of matter. Matter refers to any substance that has mass and occupies space. This means that matter takes up physical space and cannot exist in the same space as other matter at the same time. Therefore, the statement "occupies space" accurately describes one of the fundamental characteristics of matter.

    What term descibes current that reverses its direction at regularly intervals?

    • Direct

    • Inductive

    • Reversing

    • Alternating

    Correct Answer
    A. Alternating
    Explanation
    The term that describes current that reverses its direction at regular intervals is "alternating." Alternating current (AC) is commonly used in electrical power systems because it can be easily transformed to different voltages and is more efficient for long-distance transmission. Unlike direct current (DC), which flows in one direction, alternating current changes its polarity periodically, typically at a frequency of 50 or 60 Hz. This allows for the efficient distribution of electrical energy and is the standard form of electricity used in homes and businesses worldwide.

    The purpose of the landing gear warning horn is to

    • Alert the pilot to marker beacons.

    • Sound when gear is not safe

    • Sound when gear is safe.

    • Alert the pilot to a stall

    Correct Answer
    A. Sound when gear is not safe
    Explanation
    The landing gear warning horn is designed to sound when the gear is not safe. This is important for the pilot to be alerted in case there is an issue with the landing gear, such as it not being fully extended or locked in place. The warning horn helps to ensure the safety of the aircraft during takeoff and landing by providing an audible alert to the pilot, allowing them to take necessary actions to address any landing gear problems before it becomes a safety issue.
