c) Ground neither end of the cable screen
11. When carrying out a bonding check on a surface protected by anodic film
a) the anodic film should be removed locally to ensure a good contact
b) the film is conductive so no preparations are required
c) add a bonding factor to the result of the test to account for the resistance of the anodic film
12. When clamping cable looms containing co-axial cables
a) avoid distortion to the co-axial cable to maintain the dielectric constant
b) distortion of the outer sheath is allowed providing the inner cable is not affected
c) the clamps must be no more than 1 metre apart
13. When incorporating an aerial cable it must be
a) in the centre of the other wires
b) outside the other wires for easy access
c) positioned separately from the loom
14. Ribbon cables affected by mutual impedance and current loop leakage are protected by
a) earthing each conductor
b) earthing each alternate conductor
c) wrapping the complete ribbon in an earthed shield
15. When handling PCB's labelled ESDS, what precaution are taken?
a) Isolate electrical power before installing on Aircraft
b) First earth with aircraft then to it
c) Do not touch its pins as copper contamination can occur
16. After attaching a wrist strap to you wrist (which is connected to aircraft ground), prior to removal
of ESDS equipment, the resistance measured

b) between your skin and the pin ground must be <10 megohms
c) between the strap and the pin ground must be <10 meghms
17. When handling a PCB you should ensure that
a) electrical power is isolated
b) ground yourself first to aircraft then PCB
c) ensure you do not touch the ends so that copper contacts do not become contaminated
18. for braided cables, the amount of braiding
a) is a trade-off design feature
b) must conform to the requirement for the shielding to cover at least 50% of the surface of the
cable
