FAA AMT (Aviation Maintenance Technician) Airframe Practice Exam

Question: 1 / 1030

Which of the following is the best means to use when removing wet snow from an aircraft?

A hot air blower

A chemical deicer

A brush or a squeegee

When removing wet snow from an aircraft, using a brush or a squeegee is the best means for several reasons. A hot air blower could potentially damage the aircraft's structure or sensitive components if directed incorrectly. Chemical deicers might be effective, but they can be harmful to the environment and may not be necessary for simply removing wet snow. High pressure air could force the wet snow into areas where it could refreeze, potentially causing more issues. On the other hand, a brush or squeegee allows for a careful and controlled removal of the snow without risk of damage or introducing harmful substances.
