🔍 Key Concepts

• Difference between nominal range, luminous range, and geographical range of a light • Meaning of a standard or assumed meteorological visibility when defining ranges of lights • How existing visibility conditions at the time of observation affect actual range vs. nominal range

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: does nominal range depend on the actual visibility on the day, or on a fixed standard visibility used on charts and in light lists? • Think about why authorities publish a single range value for each aid to navigation: can they know the visibility every day, or do they assume a particular visibility when they define this range? • Consider which choice sounds like a standardized reference condition rather than a changing real‑world condition

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which options describe specific visibility values and which describe variable real‑world conditions • Recall that nominal range is a published characteristic of the light itself, not a changing, day‑to‑day measurement • Verify which term (nominal, luminous, or geographic) is tied to actual existing conditions versus a fixed reference visibility
