Q

INLAND ONLY What is true of a "special flashing light"?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Inland Navigation Rules – Annex I & Rule 3 (definition and technical specs of a special flashing light) • Required flash frequency and color of a special flashing light • Required arc of visibility and placement on a vessel

💭 Think About

• Compare the flash rate in the choice given with the specific flash rate required for a special flashing light under the Inland Rules. • Think about whether a special flashing light has the same arc of visibility as a normal towing light or masthead light, or if it is different. • Consider if there is anything in the Inland Rules that makes the special flashing light optional in a specific river area, or if its requirements are uniform wherever the Inland Rules apply.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify the exact flash rate range for a special flashing light (minimum and maximum flashes per minute). • Check the required arc of visibility (in degrees) for a special flashing light in the Inland Rules. • Confirm whether the Inland Rules contain any geographic exceptions (such as below a specific bridge) for the use of a special flashing light.
