🔍 Key Concepts

• 46 CFR requirements for lifesaving equipment on small passenger vessels (Subchapter T) • Specific minimum painter length for life floats (not liferafts or lifebuoys) • Difference between meters, feet, and fathoms in the answer choices

💭 Think About

• Look up the section of 46 CFR that covers life floats on small passenger vessels and find the exact minimum painter length stated there. • Compare the regulatory value you find with the closest matching choice, paying attention to both meters and feet. • Ask yourself whether the regulation expresses this painter length in feet, meters, or fathoms, and then match that unit and value to the options.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify the exact painter length in 46 CFR Subchapter T, lifesaving appliances for life floats (not buoyant apparatus or liferafts). • Confirm that the feet and meter values in the correct choice are equivalent (convert feet to meters or vice versa). • Make sure you are not mixing up the painter length requirement for liferafts or lifeboats with that for life floats on small passenger vessels.
