Narrow body commercial transport
Plastic is used in aircraft construction for
Interior paneling, seat components, and conduit
The following Aircraft construction materials is often used in corporate style aircraft for interior furnishings
Wood
When conducting firefighting operations on an aircraft that used wood in its construction, the type of extinguishing agent used should be
AFFF
Aqueous film forming foam
The following systems is used by aircraft manufacturers to distinguish among tubing, piping, and cabling found in an aircraft color coded labeling system
color coded labeling system
The following aircraft systems present the greatest hazard in an aircraft accident
Fuel systems
Fuel is distributed from the aircrafts fuel tans to its engine through fuel lines, control valves, and pumps located
Throughout the aircraft
In order to reduce pressure buildup caused by fuel expansion, fuel tanks are equipped with
Vent and vent tanks
The following aircraft systems generates the power necessary to operate the control surfaces on an aircraft and to extend and retract the landing gear
Hydraulic systems
Synthetic hydraulic fluid presents a significantly
Reduced flammability hazard
Why must ARFF personnel exercise extreme caution pressurized hydraulic lines during rescue or fire suppression operations ?
When released in the form of a fine mist, synthetic fluid is extremely flammable
If hydraulic fluid contacts the skin, eyes, and protective clothing it:
Can cause severe skin and eye irritation and erode protective clothing
the following aircraft components make up the wheel assembly
Rims, brakes and tired
When must all aircraft shutdown functions be accomplished
Prior to deenergizing the electrical system
The following components is a small Jet engine with a generator attracted that is used while the aircraft is on the ground and at the gate to operate systems instead of running one of the engines
Auxiliary power unit ( APU)
The following components provide a means of obtaining emergency electrical power and hydraulic power aboard airborne aircraft
Emergency power unit ( EPU )
Hydrazine is an irritant but :
Does not pose serious health hazards
The following color of aircraft lighting is found at the left wingtip
Red
When exposed to fire, oxygen cylinders will usually
Vent and not explode
Aircraft radar systems are generally located in the
Aircraft nose

Will not operate
The following is a common first step in any aircraft emergency shut down procedure
Move the throttles to the idle or off position
In the event of an emergency, aircraft are generally designed to be evacuated in :
90 seconds or less
An inflatable emergency slide must be deployed an inflated in
