🔍 Key Concepts

• Proper log-out procedures with a Network Control Station (NCS) or coast station • The difference between operator actions (things the watchstander does) and system indications (things the equipment shows you) • How loss of signal or coverage (shadowing, RF interference, out of footprint) affects the ability to send/receive log-out messages

💭 Think About

• Which option describes something that is not actually an operator error, but rather an indication or result related to the NCS or system? • For each choice, ask: "Does this action prevent the NCS from receiving a clean, intentional log-out from the vessel?" • Consider which choice is information about status rather than a failure in the way the operator logged out.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which options clearly involve changing the radio link or coverage before logging out. • Determine which option is not an action that blocks or disrupts the log-out process itself. • Verify which choice is more like an output/notification from the system rather than a procedural mistake by the operator.
