🔍 Key Concepts

• International distress signals in the Navigation Rules (Annex IV) • Difference between distress versus warning/danger signals • Meaning of arm signals used by persons on vessels or in the water

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: Is this arm motion commonly taught as a universal distress signal, or as a signal telling others to keep away? • Consider whether a person trying to welcome a vessel closer would use a motion that looks more like "come here" or more like a strong "no/keep clear" motion. • Think about how a lookout on another vessel would most reasonably interpret large, repeated up-and-down arm movements to each side in terms of safety.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in Navigation Rules – Annex IV whether this motion is listed as a recognized distress signal. • Ask: Does the described motion resemble a clear invitation to approach or a warning to stay clear? • Consider which of the answer choices refers to a formal distress signal versus an informal danger/keep away signal.
