State the purpose of standard aircraft taxi signals.
|
Used by all branches of the Armed Forces so that there will be no misunderstanding when a taxi signalman of one service is signaling a pilot of another.
|
|
|
State the vehicle speed limits on the flight line and around the aircraft.
|
The speed limit within 50 feet of aircraft is 5 mph. Along runways, taxiways, parking ramps and work areas it is 10 mph.
|
|
|
State the maximum towing speed of an aircraft.
|
As fast as the slowest walker
|

|
Name the 4 categories of tie down requirements.
|
a. Initial
b. Intermediate c. Permanent d. Heavy weather |

|
State the purpose of the emergency shore based recovery equipment.
|
you must arrest the aircraft and stop it in the shortest distance possible. This is to minimize the chance of an accident that could cause injury to the pilot and crew or damage to the aircraft.
|
|
|
State the purpose of the MA-1A overrun barrier
|
a net barrier and cable system. It is designed to stop aircraft not equipped with tail hooks but the aircraft must have a nosewheel for the barrier to be effective.

Identify the safety hazard areas associated with the following: Intakes
|
The air intake ducts of operating jet engines are an ever present hazard to personnel working near the ducts of the aircraft. They are also a hazard to the engine itself if the area around the front of the aircraft is not kept clear of debris. The air intake duct may develop enough suction to pull an individual or hats, glasses, etc., into the intake. The hazard is greatest during maximum power settings
|

|
Identify the safety hazard areas associated with the following:
Exhaust (engine and APU) |
Jet engine exhausts create many hazards to personnel. The 2 most serious hazards of jet engine exhaust are the high temperature and high velocity of the exhaust gases from the tailpipe. High temperatures can be found up to several hundred feet from the tailpipe. The closer you get to the aircraft, the higher the exhaust temperatures. When a jet engine is starting, sometimes excess fuel can accumulate in the tailpipe. When the fuel ignites, long flames shoot out of the tailpipe. Personnel should be clear of this danger area at all times.

|
Identify the safety hazard areas associated with the following: Propellers
|
Personnel should NOT approach or depart an aircraft with the propellers turning. Personnel should walk well around the propeller area at all times.
