🔍 Key Concepts

• Inflatable liferaft inflation sequence – what happens the instant the CO₂ bottle fires versus what crew must do after boarding • The purpose and design of the painter line and weak link • Which features of a liferaft are automatic on inflation and which are manually operated or conditional (like righting straps, floor valves, etc.)

💭 Think About

• Think about what must happen right away to make the raft usable and stable in the water, even before anyone gets inside it. • For each option, ask: does this happen on every inflatable liferaft as part of the standard automatic sequence, or only on certain types / when someone takes action? • Consider what would be unsafe if it happened automatically—for example, something that might separate the raft from survivors or the vessel too early.

✅ Before You Answer

• Check how the painter line is supposed to function: when does it release, and when does it stay attached? • Ask whether self-righting is guaranteed on all rafts, or if righting usually requires pulling on straps by survivors. • Verify from your liferaft section in the manual which component is specifically described as deploying automatically upon inflation in all normal cases.
