Question 1
How many pounds can the A/S 32A-49 pull forward?
Correct Answer:
17,690
Explanation:
The amount you can safely pull forward with the A/S 32A-49 is determined by its rated forward-pull capacity. This tow bar is designed to transmit up to 17,690 pounds of forward force during aircraft towing. Staying at or below this limit protects the tow bar, the towing tractor, and the aircraft structure from overstress while maintaining safe handling. Why the other numbers don’t fit: they represent forces lower than the bar’s rated capacity (7,000 and 11,900 pounds) or exceed it (22,000 pounds), which would either underutilize the equipment or risk damage and failure. So, the maximum forward pull for the A/S 32A-49 is 17,690 pounds.
Question 2
Match the following designations to their systems: X13J, X16J, X50J correspond to which respectively?
Correct Answer:
Aircraft Crane Control; Aircraft Elevator Circuit to Pump Room; Fog foam circuit
Explanation:
Understanding these designations is about matching the specific X-number tags to their assigned shipboard systems. In the ABH context, X13J, X16J, and X50J are fixed tags that correspond to particular equipment circuits. The correct mapping is that X13J goes to Aircraft Crane Control, X16J to the Aircraft Elevator Circuit to Pump Room, and X50J to the Fog foam circuit. This sequence aligns with the standard designation tables used in the material, so choosing the option that lists those three systems in that exact order is correct. If you see the fog foam circuit assigned to a different tag or the crane or elevator circuits paired with other tags, that would not match the established designations.
Question 3
After movement of an aircraft on deck, what should be documented?
Correct Answer:
Movement times, crew involved, any issues, and chock/strap status.
Explanation:
After movement of an aircraft on the deck, you need a complete record that shows what happened and how the aircraft is secured. Document the movement times to show exactly when the maneuver occurred, who was involved so accountability is clear, any issues or deviations encountered during the move so they can be reviewed or fixed, and the chock/strap status to confirm the aircraft is properly secured for safety and future operations. This creates a traceable, actionable log for safety, investigations, and coordination. Other details like payroll, weather and fuel levels, or the aircraft’s color and model name don’t provide the necessary safety and status information about the movement and securing of the aircraft.
Question 4
How many elevators does an aircraft have?
Correct Answer:
2
Explanation:
Elevators are the pitch-control surfaces on the tail, mounted on the horizontal stabilizer. In most aircraft, the horizontal stabilizer carries two movable elevator surfaces—one on each side—that move together to push the nose up or down. This two-surface arrangement provides balanced control and redundancy, making two the standard count for elevators on a typical aircraft.
Question 5
The AFFF station marking uses which color and lettering size description?
Correct Answer:
Green in Color / 3-Inch White Letters / 18-Inches Wide
Explanation:
In this area, signage for AFFF stations uses a green background with white lettering that is 3 inches tall and the sign is 18 inches wide. The green color identifies the foam system area, and white 3-inch letters provide the legibility needed on deck and in hangar bays from typical viewing distances. The 18-inch width is standard enough to accommodate the text legibly without crowding. Other color choices or different letter sizes/widths would not align with the established Navy signage standards and could reduce readability in stressful, high-traffic conditions.
