🔍 Key Concepts

• Lifesaving signals between ship and shore used in rescue/landing operations • Difference between a horizontal motion and a vertical motion of a white light or flare • Meaning of the word "Negative" in standard signaling

💭 Think About

• In an emergency landing situation, what kind of motion (horizontal vs vertical) would you logically associate with "do NOT come here"? • Which of the choices looks like a specific shore‑to‑ship safety message, rather than a general response or an unrelated deck command? • Think about standard patterns: if one motion means "yes/okay to land", what would the opposite motion likely mean?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in the Lifesaving Signals table (used with the International Code of Signals) for the exact phrase linked to a horizontal motion of a white light or flare. • Check whether "Avast hauling" is a lifesaving signal or mainly a seamanship/deck command. • Confirm if "Negative" is normally used alone as a visual lifesaving signal or as a radio/voice response.
