INLAND ONLY One and two short blast signals must be sounded on inland waters when __________.
• Inland Rule 34(a) – Maneuvering and Warning Signals • Difference between power-driven vessels and sailing vessels for whistle signals • When vessels are in sight of one another and the required distance for Inland maneuvering signals
• Look at which options involve power-driven vessels in sight of one another and think about which situations Inland Rule 34(a) is written for: meeting, crossing, overtaking, or something else? • Ask yourself: under Inland Rules, are one and two short blasts about what you intend to do or just a general warning? Which situations require you to state that intention? • Consider the distance limits in each choice. Which distance actually appears in Inland Rule 34(a) for one and two short blast signals?
• Verify in Inland Rule 34(a) whether the rule applies to power-driven vessels, sailing vessels, or both. • Confirm the exact distance specified in the rule for using one and two short blasts (is it a half mile, a mile, or something else?). • Check that the vessels must be in sight of one another for one and two short blasts as maneuvering signals under Inland rules.
