Q

INLAND ONLY Which statement is TRUE concerning a passing agreement made by radiotelephone?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Inland Navigation Rule 34 – Maneuvering and Warning Signals • Use of radiotelephone for passing or meeting agreements on inland waters • Relationship between sound (whistle) signals and radio agreements when vessels are in sight of one another

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: What does Inland Rule 34 say about whether whistle signals are still required if both vessels clearly agree on the maneuver by VHF/radiotelephone? • Consider whether the Rules ever prohibit using radio to make or confirm a passing or meeting agreement in inland waters. • Think about why the Rules might make whistle signals optional or still mandatory once you have positive radio agreement—what is the safety logic behind that?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in Inland Rule 34 what it actually states about radio agreements and whether they replace or supplement whistle signals. • Check whether the Rule mentions any distance requirement (such as half a mile) in connection with when whistle signals must be sounded if radio is used. • Confirm whether the Rule uses language like “not required” or “shall also” with respect to whistle signals after a radiotelephone passing agreement.
