AAAE ACE Operations Study - Mod 2
Questions with Correct Answers 2026
Training Personnel in Movement area - CORRECT ANSWER -
Must be completed prior to initial duties and at least once every 12 consecutive calendar m
onths
Records for training of movement area - CORRECT ANSWER -
Description and date of training, maintained for 24 calendar months
Fuelers Training/ Records - CORRECT ANSWER -
Fueling personnel must be trained every 24 calendar months but records maintained for 12
calendar months
Airport pavements designed, constructed, and maintained for... - CORRECT ANSWER --
to support the critical loads imposed
- to produce smooth, skid resistant, and safe riding surface
Flexible pavement - CORRECT ANSWER -
tends to compress under load, reflects the deformation of subgrade and the subsequent lay
ers to the surface, contains grass, dirt, gravel, and asphalt, top layer is strongest,
Rigid Pavement - CORRECT ANSWER -
Resists compression under load, loads are distributed over a wide area of subgrade soil. Rigi
d lasts more than 30 yrs while flex lasts 5-15 years.
What causes pavement deterioration? - CORRECT ANSWER --effects of weather
- loads imposed by aircraft
, PCN - CORRECT ANSWER -
pavement classification number, it is possible to express the effect of an individual plane on
different pvements by a unique singular number. This reporting methods applies only yo pa
vements bearing 12,500 lbs or greater.
LCN - CORRECT ANSWER -Load classification number, regarding pavement
Cracking - CORRECT ANSWER -
cracks in flex pavement are caused by deflection of the surface ocer an unstable foundation
, shrinkage of the surface, thermal expansion, and contacting of the surface.
Types of cracks - CORRECT ANSWER -- longitudinal and transverse cracks
- block cracking
- reflection crack
- alligator crack
- slippage cracks
Disintegration - CORRECT ANSWER -
in flex pavement is typically caused by climate, insufficient compacation of the surface, insuf
ficient aphalt binder in the mix, loss of adhesion. Can be due to raveling, weathering, potho
les, asphalt stripping, jet blast erosion.
Distortion - CORRECT ANSWER -
in flex pavements is caused by foundation settlement, insufficient compacation of the pave
ment courses, a lack of stability in the bituminous mix. Due to rutting, corrugation, shoving,
depressions
Cracking in rigid pavement - CORRECT ANSWER -
often result from stresses caused by expansion and contraction or warping of the pavement
. Due to, longitudinal cracks, corner breaks, durability cracks
