Question 485Deck General70% to pass
When the dew point of the outside air is lower than or equal to the dew point of the air in the cargo hold, you should _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) ventilate the cargo holds.
When the dew point of the outside air is lower than or equal to the dew point of the air in the cargo hold, it is recommended to ventilate the cargo holds. This allows the drier outside air to enter the cargo hold, which can help prevent the buildup of moisture and condensation inside the hold. This is important to maintain proper cargo conditions and prevent damage to the cargo.
The other options are incorrect because shutting down the exhaust blowers (A) or the intake blowers (D) would prevent the necessary ventilation, and securing all ventilation (B) would also prevent the drier outside air from entering the cargo hold.
