The efficiency of an RFF service is significantly dependent on the reliability and effectiveness of its communication and alarm system. The importance of prompt and clear communications cannot be over-emphasized.
True
False
What is the meaning of AFFF?
Aircraft Film Foam Forming
Aqueous Film Foam Forming
Aqueous Film Forming Foam
Aqueous Fast Forming Foam
What are the 3 methods of foam production?
Aspiration by inducted air
Aspiration by compressed air insertion
Aspiration within the jet
Aspiration by compressed mechanism
pH value of foam concentrate must be as ________ as possible
Alkaline
Neutral
Acidic
None of the above
To prevent the corrosion of plumbing or the foam tanks of an RFF vehicle, the foam concentrate should be as neutral as
possible and should register between the values of 1 and 5.5
True
False
In considering the scope of fire station communications, 2 important factors need to be considered. Which are the 2?
The first is the extent of the workload in the watchroom when an aircraft accident or incident occurs.
Those airports operating more than one fire station to have 1 watchroom as master and a satellite watchroom to assist.
Fire stations should be provided with a public address system so that details of the emergency.
Air traffic control should be linked with the main fire station by a direct or indirect telephone line.
True
False
All telephone and radio equipment in each watchroom should be regularly monitored for its serviceability and arrangements should exist for emergency repair and maintenance of this equipment. The continuity of electrical supplies to fire stations should be ensured by connection to secondary power supplies.
True
False
When RFF vehicles leave their fire stations and enter the manoeuvring area they come under the direction of air traffic control. These vehicles must be equipped with?
One-way radio communications equipment
Two-way radio communications equipment
Beacons and Sirens
PA systems
Rescue boats or other specialised vehicles intended for use in water, swampy areas or other difficult terrain are not required to be equipped with two-way radio equipment.
True
False
Direct communication between the RFF personnel and the flight crew during an emergency does not necessarily involve speech only as the possible use of hand signals, in particular at smaller airports, may be considered.
True
False
There are several types of foam concentrate from which effective firefighting foams can be produced. What are the types of foam not mentioned?
Protein foam
Aqueous Film Forming Foam (AFFF)
Fluoroprotein foam (conventional)
High expansion foam
Synthetic foams
Foam produced by most vehicles to be used for aircraft firefighting will utilise solutions, either in premixed forms or by the use of a proportioning system, which are delivered at a predetermined pressure to nozzles.
True
False
How many methods of foam production mentioned?
1
2
3
4
How many KG of dry chemical powder is required for CAT 10?
400kg
450kg
460kg
350kg
Third-party testing authority is not allowed to conduct specified foam properties and performance test even if the State or individual agency do not have the facility.

3 and 6.5
7
6 and 8.5

The foam production performance test should confirm the following:
The induction percentage for all foam-making devices
The expansion ratio from all foam-making devices
The quarter drainage time from all foam-making devices
The jet range of the main monitor
The spray pattern of the main monitor
The quality of foam produced by a vehicle system will not be affected by the characteristics of the local water supply. It is not important to acquire an adequate clear water supply.
True
False
What kind problems may arise when large quantities of complementary agents are discharged rapidly ?
Dense cloud of the agent may impede aircraft evacuation
Rescue operations by limiting the visibility
Affecting the respiration of those exposed to the effects
All of the above
CO2 gas is only 1.5 times the weight of air and is therefore seriously affected in outdoor applications by the wind and the convection currents associated with a fire.
