accelerate through all the gears without stopping
2. drive forward and reverse without weaving
3. come to a smooth and safe stop
◉ Identify the Three items on an apparatus that you must verify
prior to conducting the foam solution-concentration test, the turret
ground pattern test and the expansion and drainage test Answer:
1The pressure and flow characteristics of each apparatus outlet.
2.That the apparatus's water and foam systems are operational.
3.That the piping systems have been flushed.

complete the diminishing clearance exercise Answer: 1. maintain
visual contact with the spotter when traveling backwards
2. judge the amount of space necessary to clear the ARFF apparatus
around both horizontal and vertical obstacles

take off or land on an airfield Answer: 1. General aviation aircraft are
primarily used for pleasure or training
2. Military aircraft include all types of aircraft used by the armed
forces
◉ identify the true statement about preparing for the turret ground
pattern test Answer: the turret nozzles must be tilted upward to
