Q

BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND Which are Distress signals?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Annex IV – Distress Signals of the Navigation Rules • The difference between a type of signal (sound, light, smoke) and a recognized distress signal • That some ordinary signals can be made with sound, flares, or smoke but are not automatically distress unless specified

💭 Think About

• Look at each option and ask: is this specifically listed in Annex IV as a recognized distress signal, or is it just a general category? • Think about what makes a signal clearly and unmistakably a call for help, so it won’t be confused with normal operations. • Consider whether the question is asking for one specific method, or whether multiple listed methods can qualify under the rules.

✅ Before You Answer

• Before choosing, review the exact list in Annex IV – which items there match the wording of these choices? • Check whether sound alone, without a specific pattern, is always a distress signal or can be used in normal navigation too. • Verify whether red flares and orange smoke are explicitly mentioned as distress signals in the rules.
