A

Airfoil (wing-shaped)

25
Q

Application height is the distance between the nozzle tip and the target site

A

Which is 8 - 10 feet

26
Q

Atmospheric stability has an impact on drift potential,

A

stable air promotes spray drift

27
Q

Inlet vane repositioning is typically used to make;

A

major adjustments toward ram-air spreader swath uniformity

28
Q

Unless a spray plane is being set up exclusively for low volume work, hydraulic system pupming should generally have tubing diameter greater than 1 inch

A

they should have approximately 2 inch tubing

29
Q

Unless this will determine the swath width is to

A

do a pattern test

30
Q

The single most important factor effecting spray drift is;

Q

A surface active agent surfactant reduces the spray droplets dynamic surface tension, adding surfactant to a batch of spray turns out to be a good way to;

A

increase drift potential

32
Q

Under 137 an agriculture aircraft operator certificate remains valid and effective for;

A

until it is surrendered, suspended, or revoled

33
Q

The spray droplet spectrum of any nozzle tip is least altered by air shear when it’s nozzle mounting angle;

2) GPS antenna
3) lightbar
4) CPU

35
Q

Whenever both state and federal law supply specific provision governs aerial application

A

state law governs the issue

A

centrifugal pump

45
Q

Propwash displacement in fised wing aircraft is caused by propeller rotation producing a spiral slipstream about the fuselage, how does this effect the spray pattern;
