Q

What action is not applicable in preventing transmissions of false Distress alerts?

🔍 Key Concepts

• GMDSS Distress procedures and why false alerts happen in the first place • The purpose of DSC (Digital Selective Calling) functions like distress, relay, and acknowledgment • Which measures focus on human factors and training versus disabling core safety features

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: Which option would actually reduce safety or conflict with the intended emergency communications capabilities of a GMDSS/DSC radio? • Which actions are standard good-practice steps on any bridge to minimize operational errors and accidental activations? • Think about what SOLAS and GMDSS want ships to be able to do in an emergency—would they ever recommend turning off key distress-related functions?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which option involves removing or disabling a core DSC safety function, rather than improving training or procedures. • Check whether false distress alerts are usually caused by equipment design faults or by operator error and lack of familiarity. • Confirm which choices describe normal bridge management and training practices for preventing accidental use of the distress button.
