    How can a pilot relieve symptoms of decompression sickness (evolved gases)?

    • Descend to a lower altitude

    • Pre-breathe 100 percent oxygen.

    • Yawn or swallow, or pass gas through body orifices.

    • Hold breath, then inhale and exhale slowly for 10 minutes.

    Correct Answer
    A. Descend to a lower altitude
    Explanation
    If a pilot is experiencing symptoms of decompression sickness, descending to a lower altitude can help relieve these symptoms. Decompression sickness occurs when there is a rapid decrease in pressure, causing gases in the body to expand and form bubbles. By descending to a lower altitude, the pressure on the body decreases, allowing these bubbles to shrink and alleviate symptoms. This is a commonly recommended action for pilots who experience decompression sickness during flight.

    How much volts, direct current (VDC) is required to operate the CQU–7/P blower assembly when it is connected to the aircraft power supply?

    • 12 volts

    • 18 volts

    • 28 ± 4 volts

    • 32 ± 2 volts

    Correct Answer
    A. 28 ± 4 volts
    Explanation
    The CQU-7/P blower assembly requires a voltage of 28 ± 4 volts to operate when connected to the aircraft power supply. This means that the blower assembly can operate within a range of 24 to 32 volts, with 28 volts being the ideal voltage. The ± 4 volts indicates the acceptable tolerance range for the voltage supply, allowing for slight variations in the power supply without affecting the operation of the blower assembly.

    How long do you allow silastic adhesive to cure when you replace the microphone gasket on Aircrew Eye/Respiratory Protection (AERP) equipment?

    • 3 hours.

    • 12 hours.

    • 24 hours.

    • 48 hours.

    Correct Answer
    A. 24 hours.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 24 hours. Silastic adhesive needs to cure for a sufficient amount of time in order to create a strong and durable bond. Allowing it to cure for 24 hours ensures that the adhesive has fully set and will provide a secure seal for the microphone gasket on the AERP equipment. Curing for a shorter period of time may result in a weaker bond, while curing for a longer period of time may not provide any additional benefits and may unnecessarily delay the use of the equipment.

    On the EEU–2/P goggles, approximately what percentage of ambient light is allowed to pass through the analyzer in the open mode?

    • 10 percent

    • 20 percent

    • 40 percent

    • 50 percent

    Correct Answer
    A. 20 percent
    Explanation
    On the EEU-2/P goggles, approximately 20 percent of ambient light is allowed to pass through the analyzer in the open mode. This means that the goggles will block around 80 percent of the ambient light, providing a significant reduction in brightness and glare. This level of light transmission allows for better visibility and protection in bright environments while still allowing some light to pass through for improved vision.

    • Micro channel plate

    • Phosphor screen

    • Objective lens.

    • Diopter lens

    Correct Answer
    A. Diopter lens
    Explanation
    The image produced by the image intensifier tube (ITT) is focused onto the diopter lens. The diopter lens is responsible for adjusting the focus of the image, ensuring that it appears clear and sharp to the viewer. It helps to correct any visual impairments or refractive errors, allowing the viewer to see the image with clarity.

    You can verify delamination in aircrew laser eye protection (ALEP) glasses by carefully looking through the spectacle lenses from a distance of about

    • 6 inches

    • 1 foot.

    • 2 feet

    • 3 feet

    Correct Answer
    A. 1 foot.
    Explanation
    To verify delamination in ALEP glasses, one needs to carefully look through the spectacle lenses. Delamination refers to the separation of layers in the glass, which can cause distortion or haziness. By examining the lenses from a distance of 1 foot, any signs of delamination such as bubbles, cracks, or separation between layers can be easily identified. This distance allows for a close inspection while still providing a clear view of the lenses.

    What is the purpose of the thermoplastic liner (TPL) fitting caps?

    • Acts as a template for trimming

    • Permits even heating of the layers

    • Compress the thermoplastic layers during fitting

    • Simulates the thickness of the foam in the TPL removable cover

    Correct Answer
    A. Simulates the thickness of the foam in the TPL removable cover
    Explanation
    The purpose of the thermoplastic liner (TPL) fitting caps is to simulate the thickness of the foam in the TPL removable cover. This means that the caps provide a representation of the foam's thickness, allowing for accurate fitting and alignment of the TPL. By using the fitting caps, practitioners can ensure that the TPL is properly positioned and that the final product will provide the desired level of support and comfort.
