What action must you complete before dropping in over any obstructions on swath approach? -
(answers)Turnaround
Do not make turns over the following at any time? - (answers)Residences, poultry houses, livestock, and
ponds/reservoirs.
Minimum altitude you must maintain during ferrying flights? - (answers)500ft AGL
When ferrying never fly directly over what kind of buildings? - (answers)Farm buildings
During ferrying flights it is good practice to do what on each new run? - (answers)Deviate course 1/8-1/4
of a miles from your previous course
Aerial application equipment is calibrated according to what metric? - (answers)APM or Acres per
minute
DGPS-mediated flow controllers do what? - (answers)Adjust flow dependent on aircraft speed
Application height is the distance between what two things? - (answers)nozzle tip/spreader exit
plant canopy
Small droplet sprays require what sort of application heights? - (answers)Application heights of 8-10ft
above canopy for droplet sizes in the 150-200 micron range
What sort of water could you use for spray pattern testing? - (answers)Dyed water
,When spray pattern testing with oil based test liquid, what sort of cards should be used? - (answers)Oil
sensitive cards
Effective swath is: - (answers)The span of the spray pattern that contains enough pesticide to obtain the
desired result/pest control
Overall swath is: - (answers)The outermost range that spray droplets within your pattern will reach but
are not enough to result in satisfactory pest control
In what type of outdoor conditions is it best to perform spray pattern testing? - (answers)Low wind
conditions generally in the morning, if winds are measurable, fly the aircraft INTO the wind to conduct
spray pattern testing.
What is the first thing you should do prior to conducting a spray operation? - (answers)Scout the target
site from the air to identify obstacles, terrain, and field layout
What should you specifically look for when scouting a field aerially prior to an application? -
(answers)Breaks in cultivation or plant cover, trees, buildings, telephone poles, guy wires etc.
Guy wires generally pull in which direction in relation to circuitry wire? - (answers)The OPPOSITE side
What must you determine about nearby buildings assumed to have electricity? - (answers)The route by
which they get their electricity
If there is an obstruction beside a field, how should it be handled? - (answers)Fly close and parallel to the
obstruction
,If there is an obstruction at the end of a field, how should it be handled? - (answers)One or two swath
widths prior to reaching the obstruction, cut off spray and pull up. After those passes are complete, fly
one or two parallel clean up passes to catch the swaths you cut off early for.
What are the different types of ground crew members? - (answers)-On site field crew
-Mix/load crew
-Application equipment servicing crew
What jobs do the On Site Field Crew perform? - (answers)-Current weather conditions
-Topographical feature awareness
-Location and dimension of ground based hazards
-Buffer zone delineations
-Other factors affecting the job
The process of "Reregistration" refers to what practice by the EPA? - (answers)Reviewing of older
pesticides (those registered before November 1984_ to ensure that they meet current scientific and
regulatory standards.
What process may lead to the changing of pesticide labeling on a product you have been using for years?
- (answers)"Reregistration" performed by the EPA
What is the most likely route of pesticide exposure for aerial applicators? - (answers)Dermal
Is it true that different handling activities (mixing, loading, applying, cleaning equipment etc) may
require different PPE? - (answers)YES, TRUE
The effect of any pesticide depends on which two factors? - (answers)-Amount of chemical absorbed
-Size of the organism receiving the chemical
, The measurement of:
-The amount of chemical absorbed
-The size of the organism receiving the chemical
Is referred to as what term? - (answers)Dosage
When referring to "dosage" the amount of chemical is measured in what form? -
(answers)Milligrams(mg)
When referring to "dosage" the size of the recipient is measured in what form? - (answers)Kilograms(kg)
This example illustrates what key concept?
"a single grain of salt will injure an ant, but not a human" - (answers)Dosage
The ability of a chemical substance to cause injury is called? - (answers)Toxicity
Dosage is a yardstick that helps classify pesticide toxicity into which three different categories? -
(answers)DANGER
WARNING
CAUTION
each toxicity category has a range of doses which helps measure and categorize toxicity
What does LD50 measure? - (answers)The minimum dosage likely to kill 50% of the organisms in a test
group
LD50 stands for what? - (answers)Lethal dosage for 50% of the test population
