🔍 Key Concepts

💭 Think About

• Look at 33 CFR 164.72 and identify exactly what is said about charts or maps regarding area covered, level of detail, and being up to date. • Ask yourself: does the regulation require only one of these features, some of them, or all of them together for a chart to be acceptable? • Compare each choice to the regulatory wording – is any choice missing a required element, or are they all independently required?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify whether the regulation explicitly states that charts must be of the area to be navigated. • Verify whether the regulation explicitly mentions large enough scale and enough detail to make safe navigation possible. • Verify whether the regulation explicitly requires current editions or currently corrected editions of charts or maps.
