12. Effective swath is: The span of the spray pattern that contains
enough pesticide to obtain the desired re-
sult/pest control
13. Overall swath is: The outermost range that spray droplets with-
in your pattern will reach but are not enough
to result in satisfactory pest control
14. In what type of outdoor conditions is it Low wind conditions generally in the morning,
best to perform spray pattern testing? if winds are measurable, fly the aircraft INTO
the wind to conduct spray pattern testing.
15. What is the first thing you should do pri- Scout the target site from the air to identify
or to conducting a spray operation? obstacles, terrain, and field layout
16. What should you specifically look for Breaks in cultivation or plant cover, trees,
when scouting a field aerially prior to an buildings, telephone poles, guy wires etc.
application?
17. Guy wires generally pull in which direc- The OPPOSITE side
tion in relation to circuitry wire?
18. What must you determine about nearby The route by which they get their electricity
buildings assumed to have electricity?
19. If there is an obstruction beside a field, Fly close and parallel to the obstruction
how should it be handled?
20. If there is an obstruction at the end of a One or two swath widths prior to reaching the
field, how should it be handled? obstruction, cut off spray and pull up. After
those passes are complete, fly one or two par-
allel clean up passes to catch the swaths you
cut off early for.
