🔍 Key Concepts

• Search and Rescue (SAR) priorities – what rescuers expect survivors to do • How a survival craft is most easily located by aircraft and ships • Risks of small craft approaching coastlines, surf, and reefs

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: In an actual distress, which option makes it EASIEST for rescuers who already know your last position to find you? • Consider which actions could put a small survival craft in MORE danger, even if they sound logical at first. • Think about the ship’s last transmitted position, EPIRBs, and radio calls—where will rescuers start looking relative to that point?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which option keeps you closest to your last known position that rescuers will use as a starting point. • Check which choices might expose a small craft to breaking surf, reefs, or heavy traffic risks. • Confirm which answer best matches standard SOLAS survival and SAR guidance about being found quickly.
