🔍 Key Concepts

• 46 CFR Subchapter T requirements for small passenger vessels • The purpose of emergency drills and crew instruction (e.g., fire, man overboard, abandon ship) • How regulations describe the frequency of drills when they want ongoing crew competence

💭 Think About

• Look for the choice that focuses on the goal of training (crew readiness) rather than a rigid calendar schedule alone. • Ask yourself: does the regulation care more about a specific interval, or about whether crew can actually perform their emergency duties? • Which option would still make sense if the crew changes often or emergencies are complex and require real familiarity?

✅ Before You Answer

• Check how 46 CFR describes drill frequency for small passenger vessels—does it use words like "frequent enough", "at suitable intervals", or a strict time period? • Verify whether any answer that gives a fixed time (weekly/monthly) could fail to keep new or inexperienced crew properly trained. • Confirm which option best ensures all crew members (including new hires) actually know their emergency duties, not just that a drill was done on a calendar date.
