🔍 Key Concepts

• Lifeboat falls maintenance intervals under SOLAS/46 CFR • Difference between end-for-ending and renewal of falls • Meaning of testing vs. replacing equipment

💭 Think About

• Which of these actions is associated with a maximum 5-year interval, rather than a shorter, recurring interval? • Think about what it means to extend the usable life of the same wire/rope versus starting with a completely new one. • Which options describe a test and which describe a change in the physical equipment itself?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which action involves continuing to use the same falls but altering their orientation. • Identify which action involves completely changing out the falls for new ones. • Recall from regulations: falls have a shorter interval for one type of maintenance and a longer, maximum 5-year interval for another—match that longer interval to the correct action.
