🔍 Key Concepts

• 46 CFR steering gear regulations for follow-up control systems • The required relationship between rudder angle error (difference between ordered and actual) and time delay before an alarm is triggered • Whether the CFR specifies one standard condition or multiple conditions for different ordered rudder angles

💭 Think About

• Look at 46 CFR steering gear alarm requirements: does the regulation state different time limits for different ordered rudder angles, or a single time limit once the error reaches 5°? • Focus on the exact trigger condition: when the difference between ordered and actual rudder is 5° or more, what length of time is mentioned in the regulation before an alarm must sound? • Compare each choice with the wording you’d expect from a regulation: would it more likely describe a simple, uniform requirement or multiple angle‑specific cases?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify the exact CFR citation for steering gear alarms (46 CFR Part 58, Steering Gear). • Confirm the regulation’s stated rudder angle difference threshold (in degrees) and the time delay before the alarm is required. • Check whether the rule describes only that one condition, or if it actually lists separate requirements for 70°, 5°, and 2.5° ordered rudder changes.
