🔍 Key Concepts

• Annex IV – Distress Signals of the Navigation Rules • Differences between distress, urgency (PAN-PAN), and safety (SECURITE) communications • Which visual signals are specifically listed as recognized distress signals

💭 Think About

• Which of these options is clearly listed in Annex IV as a standard, internationally recognized distress signal? • Is any option actually an urgency or safety signal rather than a full distress signal? • Does any option describe a sound or light signal that matches the typical pattern used for distress at sea?

✅ Before You Answer

• Check Annex IV for the exact list of recognized distress signals and see which option appears there word‑for‑word or very close • Verify which radiotelephone words are used for distress, urgency, and safety (MAYDAY vs PAN-PAN vs SECURITE) • Confirm whether a searchlight beam or whistle pattern described in the options matches any official distress signal in Annex IV
