AERIAL APPLICATOR GENERALS ACTUAL
TEST PAPER 2026 FULL ANSWERS GRADED
A+
⩥ ___________ used for pesticide application are fast, maneuverable,
and carry heavier loads than rotary-wing craft.
Answer: Fixed-wing aircraft
⩥ A limitation of a fixed-wing aircraft is the need for a ____________,
which may not always be close to the application site.
Answer: designated landing area
⩥ Rotary-wing aircraft used for pesticide application are more
maneuverable but _____ than fixed-wing aircraft, and can operate over a
range of speeds and in almost any area since they do not require a
runway for takeoff or landing.
Answer: slower
⩥ What is the main function of a dispersal system?
Answer: to allow you to apply an accurate and uniform amount of
pesticide material over the application site as efficiently as possible
,⩥ Stainless steel, fiberglass, polyethylene, and polypropylene are non-
corrosive, while _____, _____, and _________ will corrode.
Answer: steel, iron, and aluminum
⩥ The presence of pesticide residues where could be an indicator of a
leaking hose or connection somewhere in the system?
Answer: on the belly of the aircraft
⩥ Systems that adjust the ____ _____ according to the application air
speed (referred to as flow control) provide the greatest application
volume uniformity, but can affect droplet size.
Answer: flow volume
⩥ The dispersal system has to include a way to _____ accurate volumes
of pesticide materials in order for you to apply the correct amount to the
treated area.
Answer: measure
⩥ This maintains the pressure in the system to ensure a uniform flow
volume and proper atomization by the nozzles. It may also power the
tank agitation system that keeps the pesticide mixture in suspension.
Answer: spray pump
, ⩥ On fixed-wing aircraft, the most common power source for the pump
is what?
Answer: a fan mounted under the aircraft, below the tank
⩥ Centrifugal pumps have a high range of applications, including
spraying abrasive wettable powders and flowable formulations, because
of what reason?
Answer: there is no close contact between moving parts
⩥ What is a disadvantage of a fiberglass tank?
Answer: it absorbs pesticide liquids if its surface is scratched or abraded,
possibly contaminating future tank loads
⩥ Most tanks serve a double use in that they are used for what two
things?
Answer: hold liquids for spraying
are hoppers for dry materials such as granular pesticides, fertilizers, and
seeds
⩥ A gauge that shows the amount of material in the tank or hopper has
to be located where?
Answer: located so it is visible from the cockpit
