What action must you complete before dropping in over any obstructions on swath
approach? - Correct Ans-Turnaround
Do not make turns over the following at any time? - Correct Ans-Residences, poultry
houses, livestock, and ponds/reservoirs.
Minimum altitude you must maintain during ferrying flights? - Correct Ans-500ft AGL
When ferrying never fly directly over what kind of buildings? - Correct Ans-Farm
buildings
During ferrying flights it is good practice to do what on each new run? - Correct Ans-
Deviate course 1/8-1/4 of a miles from your previous course
Aerial application equipment is calibrated according to what metric? - Correct Ans-APM
or Acres per minute
DGPS-mediated flow controllers do what? - Correct Ans-Adjust flow dependent on
aircraft speed
Application height is the distance between what two things? - Correct Ans-nozzle
tip/spreader exit
plant canopy
Small droplet sprays require what sort of application heights? - Correct Ans-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? - Correct Ans-Dyed water
When spray pattern testing with oil based test liquid, what sort of cards should be used?
- Correct Ans-Oil sensitive cards
Effective swath is: - Correct Ans-The span of the spray pattern that contains enough
pesticide to obtain the desired result/pest control
Overall swath is: - Correct Ans-The outermost range that spray droplets within your
pattern will reach but are not enough to result in satisfactory pest control
AERIAL
,AERIAL
In what type of outdoor conditions is it best to perform spray pattern testing? - Correct
Ans-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? - Correct
Ans-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? - Correct Ans-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? - Correct Ans-The
OPPOSITE side
What must you determine about nearby buildings assumed to have electricity? - Correct
Ans-The route by which they get their electricity
If there is an obstruction beside a field, how should it be handled? - Correct Ans-Fly
close and parallel to the obstruction
If there is an obstruction at the end of a field, how should it be handled? - Correct Ans-
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? - Correct Ans--On site field crew
-Mix/load crew
-Application equipment servicing crew
What jobs do the On Site Field Crew perform? - Correct Ans--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? - Correct Ans-
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? - Correct Ans-"Reregistration" performed by the EPA
What is the most likely route of pesticide exposure for aerial applicators? - Correct Ans-
Dermal
AERIAL
, AERIAL
Is it true that different handling activities (mixing, loading, applying, cleaning equipment
etc) may require different PPE? - Correct Ans-YES, TRUE
The effect of any pesticide depends on which two factors? - Correct Ans--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? - Correct Ans-Dosage
When referring to "dosage" the amount of chemical is measured in what form? - Correct
Ans-Milligrams(mg)
When referring to "dosage" the size of the recipient is measured in what form? - Correct
Ans-Kilograms(kg)
This example illustrates what key concept?
"a single grain of salt will injure an ant, but not a human" - Correct Ans-Dosage
The ability of a chemical substance to cause injury is called? - Correct Ans-Toxicity
Dosage is a yardstick that helps classify pesticide toxicity into which three different
categories? - Correct Ans-DANGER
WARNING
CAUTION
each toxicity category has a range of doses which helps measure and categorize
toxicity
What does LD50 measure? - Correct Ans-The minimum dosage likely to kill 50% of the
organisms in a test group
LD50 stands for what? - Correct Ans-Lethal dosage for 50% of the test population
A LOW LD50 means that a pesticide is what? - Correct Ans-HIGHLY toxic
A HIGH LD50 means that a pesticide is what? - Correct Ans-Only slightly toxic
What appears on the label that is a summary of a products dosage-response testing
results? - Correct Ans-The signal word
Common symptoms of external exposure to pesticides may include? - Correct Ans--
Blisters, rash, and or burns
