🔍 Key Concepts

• Williamson turn characteristics • Man overboard at night with uncertain position • Relationship between turn and original track-line

💭 Think About

• In darkness, what is your best clue to where the person is if you didn’t see them fall? • Which maneuver brings you back to a known reference (course/track) rather than simply turning fastest? • Which option describes something the Williamson turn is specifically designed for, not just something any search pattern might do?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice mentions being back on or near your original track-line • Ask which option would help most when you don’t know exactly when or where the person went overboard • Eliminate any option that mainly talks about speed of turn or broad search coverage, since that’s not the core design purpose of the Williamson turn
