Question 2: An air carrier aircraft is 118 feet long and averages six departures per day. Into which aircraft length group does it fall for ARFF Index determination?
Choices:
1) Index C 2) Index B 3) Index A 4) Index D
Correct Answer: Index B
Explanation: Index B includes aircraft at least 90 feet but less than 126 feet in length. A 118-foot aircraft falls in Index B.Question 3: An air carrier aircraft is 170 feet long and averages seven departures per day. Which Index group is associated with that aircraft length?
Choices:
1) Index B 2) Index C 3) Index E 4) Index D
Correct Answer: Index D

Index is generally required because the longest aircraft has fewer than �ve average daily departures?
Choices:
1) Index C 2) Index D 3) Index B 4) Index E
Correct Answer: Index D
Explanation: A 205-foot aircraft is in Index E, but when the longest aircraft has fewer than �ve average daily departures, the required Index is generally the next lower group, which is Index D.

Choices:
1) Index A 2) Index C 3) Index D 4) Index B
