Q

Which is NOT a valid maintenance and testing function for a SART?

🔍 Key Concepts

• SART (Search and Rescue Transponder) operating limits and purpose • SOLAS and manufacturer guidance on how often and how SARTs may be tested • Impact of tests on battery life and unnecessary transmissions

💭 Think About

• Which options are simple visual/administrative checks that do not consume power or transmit signals? • Which options involve the SART actively transmitting and could shorten battery life or cause interference if done too much? • Think about standard drills: how is a SART normally tested onboard without degrading its readiness for a real emergency?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choices are clearly routine inspections (no transmission required). • Identify which choice(s) describe a limited, brief functional test recommended by guidance. • Look for any option that implies extended or repeated in‑service use of the SART beyond a short self‑test or brief radar check; that one should raise a red flag.
