Environmental Protection and Sensitive Areas
Pest Management and Integrated Pest Management (IPM)
Safety, Toxicology, and Applicator Protection
Application Records and Label Interpretation
*INTRODUCTION*
This examination is designed to evaluate the knowledge and competency required for
professional aerial pesticide applicators under Category 35 standards. It assesses
understanding of pesticide laws, aerial application methods, environmental safeguards,
calibration techniques, and safety protocols. Candidates will encounter multiple-choice and
,scenario-based questions that reflect real-world decision-making in agricultural and pest
control aviation environments. The exam emphasizes compliance with regulatory
requirements, accurate pesticide application, drift prevention, and integrated pest
management principles. Successful completion demonstrates readiness to safely and
effectively perform aerial pest control operations while protecting human health, non-target
organisms, and the environment.
SECTION ONE: QUESTIONS 1–50
1. What is the primary purpose of aerial pesticide application?
