🔍 Key Concepts

• Standard helm commands and how they are worded on merchant vessels • Difference between the amount of rudder vs. the rate of putting it over • What "hard" usually refers to on a steering gear or rudder angle indicator

💭 Think About

• Which choice describes the position of the rudder, and which describe how fast you move it? • On most ships, does "hard" refer to a specific angle (like 15°) or to the mechanical limit of the rudder? • Is there any answer choice that sounds like informal slang (e.g., "jam it") instead of a standard conning command?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option clearly refers to the rudder going to its maximum angle to starboard/right • Eliminate any choices that describe controlling the swing of the vessel rather than a rudder position • Verify that "hard" in helm orders is not the same as a fixed degree amount like 15°
