🔍 Key Concepts

• SART (Search and Rescue Transponder) battery endurance requirements under SOLAS/GMDSS equipment standards • Difference between standby mode and transmission/active mode for a SART • How SART endurance compares with EPIRB (Emergency Position-Indicating Radio Beacon) battery requirements

💭 Think About

• First, recall roughly how long GMDSS distress equipment is expected to remain usable while survivors wait for rescue. Is it measured in hours, or in days? • Think about why a SART spends most of its life in standby rather than actively responding, and how that affects the minimum required standby time. • Compare the listed options with what you remember for EPIRB endurance. Is the SART standby requirement typically shorter, the same, or longer than EPIRB operation time?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in SOLAS Chapter IV and associated performance standards that SARTs must operate for a certain number of hours in standby, plus additional hours when being interrogated by radar. • Check that you are looking at the requirement for radar SART, not AIS-SART or EPIRB, since their battery rules differ. • Confirm that the chosen option reflects a period of multiple days in standby, not just a few hours, consistent with expected SAR response times.
