🔍 Key Concepts

• Search and rescue (SAR) visibility techniques used by assisting vessels • Differences between daytime and nighttime signaling methods • How vessel course and maneuvering patterns affect the ability of survivors in liferafts to see and track you

💭 Think About

• From the perspective of someone low in the water in a liferaft, which option would make your ship stand out most clearly against the background during the day? • Which choices might actually make it harder—not easier—for survivors to predict your movement and keep you in sight? • Is there any option that could create confusion or hazards (navigationally or environmentally) without really helping visibility?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option is a recognized SAR signaling or locating method rather than just a maneuver pattern • Consider the height of eye and limited horizon of survivors in a raft—what can they realistically see and track? • Eliminate any option that adds risk or does not directly improve visual contrast between your vessel and the surrounding sea/sky.
