AIPT Focus Test I

Important factors bearing on effective rescue in a survivable aircraft accident is the:

• training received

• effective fire vehicle capabilities

• the effectiveness of the equipment and .

• the speed with which personnel and equipment, designated for RFF purposes, can be deployed

Categorizing aircraft using the airport, is by first evaluating it's, ( 1 ) and secondly it's, ( 2 )

• 1) overall length of the aircraft

• 2) overall length of the aircraft

• 1) maximum fuselage width

• 2) maximum fuselage width

1) Principal agents produces a, 1 control.

2) Complementary agents have 2 capability but offers a, transient control.

Choose the correct answer according the numbers assigned.

• 1) temporary

• 1) permanent

• 1) transient

• 2) rapid machine suppression

• 2) rapid fire suppression

Control time is the time required to reduce the initial intensity of the fire by:

• 50%

• 60%

• 70%

• 80%

• 90%

Foam application rates:

I) 5.5L/min/m²

II) 3.75L/min/m²

III) 8.2L/min/m²

Referring to the application rates above choose the correct foam level assignments

• I) B, II) C, III) A

• I) 2, II) 3, III)1

• I) B, II) A, III) C

• I) 2, II) 1, III) 3

Q1 = A × R × T

A: practical critical area

R: (What is R)

T: time of application

• the practical critical area

• the theoratical critical area

• raid of application

• rate of application

The operational objective of the RFF service should be to achieve response times of 2 mins and not exceeding 3 mins to the end of each runway, as well as to any other part of the movement area, in optimum conditions of visibility and surface conditions.

• True

• False

There may be enough residual heat in turbine aircraft engines to ignite fuel vapours up to ( ? ) mins after shutdown or ( ? ) mins on piston engines.

• 30 I 10

• 10 I 30

• 60 I 15

• 15 I 60

Confined turbine engine fires (jet). Foam should be used in the intake or exhaust of turbine engines unless control cannot be secured with the other agents and the fire appears to be in danger of spreading.

• True

• False

I) RFF personnel should stay how far from the front and side intake of a turbine engine?

II) Remain up to how far from the rear?

• I) 10 metres

• I) 100 metres

• II) 500 metres

• II) 1000 metres
