🔍 Key Concepts

• Inflatable liferaft equipment layout – know what each numbered item usually represents (ladder, canopy, ballast bags, lights, sea anchor, etc.) • Difference between internal (interior) light and external recognition light on a liferaft • Location of a light that must be visible for up to two miles for search-and-rescue aircraft and vessels

💭 Think About

• Look at which numbered item is positioned high and outside the raft where it would be least obstructed and most visible from a distance. • Compare any items that look like lights: which one seems meant to illuminate inside the raft, and which one seems meant to signal rescuers outside? • Think about SOLAS/USCG liferaft design: where is the water‑activated light normally mounted on the canopy or tube so that it can be seen 360° around?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which item number is drawn on the outside upper area of the raft rather than low on the tube or inside the canopy. • Confirm that the chosen item is not part of the sea anchor, painter, or boarding ladder system. • Make sure the item you pick could logically provide a 360° all‑around white light visible up to two miles.
