Front 2

State the prupose of standard aircraft taxi signals.

Back 2

Used by all brances of the Armed Forces so that there will be no misunderstanding when a taxi signalman of one service is signaling a pilot of another.

Front 3

State the vehicle speed limits on the flight line and around the aircraft.

Back 3

The speed limit within 50 feet of aircraft is 5 mph. Along runways, taxiways, parking ramps and work areas it is 10 mph.

Front 4

State the maximum towing speed of an aircraft.

Back 4

As fast as the slowest walker.

Front 5

Name the 4 categories of tie down requirements.

Back 5

a. Initial
b. Intermediate
c. Permanent
d. Heavy weather

Front 6

State the purpose of the emergency shore based recovery equipment.

Back 6

In an emergency situation, such as a blown tire, an indication that the landing gear has not locked, the pilot is sick, or any one of the numerous emergencies that could arise- 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.

Front 7

State the purpose of the MA-1A overrun barrier.

Back 7

The MA-1A is an emergency arresting system comprised of a net barrier and cable system. It is designed to stop aircraft not equipped with taiil hooks but the aircraft must have a nosewheel for the barrier to be effective. It's used by Airforce & being replaced in the Navy.

Front 8

State the minimum personal protective equipment required on the flight line and ramp areas during the following operation: Routine maintenance.

Back 8

The work area shall be assessed as to hazards which may be present. Each worker shall be given and briefed on the use of the proper PPE for that area.

Front 9

State the minimum personal protective equipment required on the flight line and ramp areas during the following operation: Flight Operations.

Back 9

All personnel whose duties require them to work on the flight deck shall wear: cranial, Jersey for individual position, (Plane Captain=Brown), Goggles, Sound Attenuators, Flight deck shoes, Flotation gear, Survival Light, Whistle

Front 10

Identify the safety hazard areas associated with the following: Intakes.

Back 10

The air intake ducts of operating jet engines are an ever present 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.

Front 11

Identify the safety hazard areas associated with the following: Exhaust (engine and APU)

Back 11

Jet engine exhausts create many hazards to personnel. The 2 most serious hazards of ject 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 the fuel ignites, long flames shoot out of the tailpipe. Personnel should be clear of this danger area at all times.

Front 12

Identify the safety hazard areas associated with the following: Propellers

Back 12

Personnel should NOT approach or depart an aircraft with the propellers turning. Personnel should walk well around the propeller area at all times.

Front 13

Identify the safety hazard areas associated with the following: Rotor blades

Back 13

Personnel should not approach or depart a helicopter while the rotors are being engaged

Front 14

Identify the safety hazard areas associated with the following: Hot Breaks

Back 14

Never face the side of the wheel, as an explosion of the wheel will follow the line of the axle, which may be outboard depending on the landing gear configuraiton. Always approach the wheel fore and aft, never from the side.
