    What type of knot do you use to secure the lifeline to a life preserver?

    • Slip

    • Square

    • Bowline.

    • Surgeon’s with a lock

    Correct Answer
    A. Bowline.
    Explanation
    A bowline knot is commonly used to secure a lifeline to a life preserver. This type of knot forms a secure loop that does not slip or come undone easily. It is known for its strength and reliability, making it ideal for securing important equipment like a lifeline. The other options, slip, square, and surgeon's with a lock, are not typically used for this purpose and may not provide the same level of security.

    Partially deflating an LPU–9/P will

    • Activate the battery

    • Reduce chaffing around the neck

    • Cause the crewmember to roll forward into the water

    • Cause the crewmember to roll backwards into the water.

    Correct Answer
    A. Reduce chaffing around the neck
    Explanation
    Partially deflating an LPU-9/P will reduce chaffing around the neck. When the LPU-9/P is fully inflated, it creates a tight seal around the neck, which can cause discomfort and chaffing. By partially deflating it, the pressure around the neck is reduced, resulting in less friction and chaffing. This can provide relief and increase comfort for the crewmember wearing the LPU-9/P.

    Correct Answer
    A. An envelope type container
    Explanation
    An envelope type container is the correct answer because it is the specific type of container in which the KC-135 type escape slide is packed. This type of container is designed to protect the escape slide and keep it secure during transportation. It is likely made of a durable material, such as heavy-duty fabric or reinforced plastic, and has a shape that allows for easy storage and handling.

    Rate this question:

  • 38. 

    Why must weight limits for kits be strictly adhered to?

    • It could adversely affect the proper trajectory of the survival kit during airborne egress

    • It could adversely affect the proper trajectory of the ejection seat during airborne egress.

    • The survival components could move excessively and damage the containers.

    • The raft could become entangled and fail to deploy.

    Correct Answer
    A. It could adversely affect the proper trajectory of the ejection seat during airborne egress.
    Explanation
    If weight limits for kits are not strictly adhered to, it could adversely affect the proper trajectory of the ejection seat during airborne egress. This means that if the weight of the kit exceeds the limit, it could disrupt the seat's trajectory during ejection, potentially causing it to deviate from its intended path and putting the occupant at risk. Adhering to weight limits ensures that the ejection seat functions properly and provides a safe egress for the pilot or crew member in an emergency situation.
