Q

Which statement is TRUE about Wilkinson Light at mile 310.0?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Review how river miles and left/right ascending bank are defined on inland rivers • Recall who typically maintains aids to navigation like lights and buoys on U.S. inland waters • Understand standard IALA-B lateral marks: color, shape, and dayboard patterns for right vs. left bank

💭 Think About

• First, decide on which side of the river Wilkinson Light should be on at mile 310.0: is it marking the right or left ascending bank? • Then, think about which federal agency is normally responsible for maintaining navigation lights on the river system in question. • Finally, match the expected color and shape of the aid with the proper dayboard pattern and light characteristic that would go with that side of the channel.

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm how left ascending bank is defined: looking upstream (toward higher mile numbers) which side is left? • Verify which agency normally maintains lights and buoys on inland rivers (compare U.S. Coast Guard vs. Army Corps of Engineers). • Check standard dayboard shapes and colors for red aids on the IALA-B system: what shape/pattern (square vs. triangle vs. diamond) should you expect?
