BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND What is the duration of each blast of the whistle signals used in head-on and/or crossing situations?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Rule 34 – Maneuvering and Warning Signals (International & Inland) • Difference between a short blast and a prolonged blast • Which type of blast is used in meeting/head‑on and crossing situations vs. in fog or restricted visibility

💭 Think About

• First, decide whether head-on and crossing signals use short blasts or prolonged blasts. • Next, recall the official time definition (in seconds) for a short blast according to Rule 34. • Compare that definition to the four answer choices and eliminate the ones that clearly match a prolonged blast duration.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in Rule 34 that a short blast has a specific time range in seconds. • Confirm that prolonged blasts (often used in fog signals) have a longer duration range, also defined in seconds. • Make sure the answer you choose matches the timing for the kind of blast actually used for maneuvering signals in head-on and crossing encounters, not the timing used for fog signals.
