Q

INLAND ONLY Passing signals shall be sounded on inland waters by __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Inland Navigation Rules – Rule 34 (Manoeuvring and Warning Signals) • Difference between meeting, crossing, and overtaking situations inland • When passing signals are required vs when they are optional or not used

💭 Think About

• Look at each choice and ask: Is Rule 34 talking about this specific type of situation, or is this situation covered by a different sound signal rule? • Does Rule 34 require a passing signal any time two vessels are near each other, or only in certain defined situations between power-driven vessels? • For the bend-in-channel situation, think: is that a passing signal or a different kind of sound signal with its own rule number and purpose?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in Rule 34(a) and 34(c) exactly which vessels (by type and status) must use passing signals on inland waters. • Check whether bending in a channel uses the same passing signals (one, two, three short blasts) or a different danger/position signal. • Confirm whether a 0.6 mile CPA on a clear day actually creates a meeting/crossing situation that requires passing signals, or if that distance and CPA might not trigger the requirement.
