🔍 Key Concepts

• Inland Navigation Rules vs. International (COLREGS) – what each set of rules actually covers • How Traffic Separation Schemes (TSS) are established and where their detailed requirements are found • The difference between required sound signals/visual signals and optional/secondary radiotelephone use for passing agreements

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: Do the Inland Rules themselves spell out the technical details of Traffic Separation Schemes, or do they mainly reference them? • Consider whether the Rules give a precise, written definition of moderate speed, or if they describe factors to consider when determining a safe speed instead. • Think about whether the Rules make VHF radiotelephone communication mandatory for passing agreements, or if traditional sound signals and actions under the Rules are sufficient when radio is not used.

✅ Before You Answer

• Check whether Inland Rules explicitly define the term "moderate speed" or just discuss safe speed in general terms. • Verify if the detailed requirements for Traffic Separation Schemes are in the Inland Rules themselves or primarily in other regulations and charts. • Look at the Rule on sound and passing signals and see if it says you must use radiotelephone, or if radio is described as a helpful tool but not a replacement for the Rules.
