🔍 Key Concepts

• Inland Navigation Rules – Sound Signals for passing and meeting situations • Difference between International and Inland requirements for when passing signals are used • Meaning of in sight of one another and the typical distance at which maneuvering signals are required on inland waters

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: On INLAND waters, are passing signals required all the time when you see another vessel, or only in certain meeting/crossing situations within a specific range? • Think about the standard rule-of-thumb distance for when you must use sound signals to indicate your intended passing (one whistle, two whistles) on rivers and harbors. • Consider whether the rule applies to both meeting and crossing situations, or only one of those situations.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify the exact distance requirement stated in the Inland Rules for maneuvering and warning signals between power-driven vessels in sight of one another. • Confirm whether the rule includes both meeting and crossing situations, not just one or the other. • Make sure you are thinking of INLAND requirements, which differ slightly from the International Rules.
