1. BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND What is TRUE when operating in fog and other vessels are detected by radar?
You should make an ample change to port for a vessel crossing on the starboard bow. You should maneuver in ample time if a close-quarters situation is developing. You should determine the course and speed of all radar contacts at six minute intervals. Long-range scanning will provide early warning of ALL other vessels within the radar's range.
2. INLAND ONLY A flashing blue light is used to identify __________.
law enforcement vessels U.S. submarines air-cushion vessels in the nondisplacement mode dredge pipelines on trestles
3. INLAND ONLY In a narrow channel, you are underway on vessel "A" and desire to overtake vessel "B". After you sound two short blasts on your whistle, vessel "B" sounds five short and rapid blasts on the whistle. You should __________.
pass with caution on the port side of vessel "B" wait for the other vessel to initiate a signal initiate another signal after the situation has stabilized immediately answer with the danger signal, and then sound one short blast
4. BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND According to the Navigation Rules, all of the following are engaged in fishing EXCEPT a vessel __________.
setting nets trawling using a dredge net trolling
5. BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND When shall the stand-on vessel in a crossing situation take action to avoid the other vessel?
When a risk of collision exists When action by the give-way vessel alone will not prevent a collision When the bearing to give-way vessel becomes steady When the vessels become less than 1/2 mile apart
6. BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND Which vessel shall not impede the passage of a vessel which can only navigate inside a narrow channel?
A vessel of less than 20 meters in length A vessel not under command A vessel engaged in surveying All of the above
7. INLAND ONLY Two vessels are in a starboard to starboard meeting situation and will pass well clear approximately 1/4 mile apart. Which action should each vessel take?
Sound a one blast whistle signal and turn to starboard. Maintain course and sound no signal. Sound a two blast whistle signal and maintain course. Sound a three blast whistle signal and turn to port.
8. BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND To determine if risk of collision exists, a vessel which is fitted with radar must use __________.
radar scanning radar plotting compass bearings All of the above
9. BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND Two power-driven vessels are crossing so as to involve risk of collision. Which statement is TRUE, according to the Rules?
The vessel which has the other on her own port side shall keep out of the way. If the stand-on vessel takes action, she shall avoid changing course to port. If the give-way vessel takes action, she shall avoid changing course to starboard. The give-way vessel should keep the other vessel to her starboard.
10. INLAND ONLY A power-driven vessel operating in a narrow channel with a following current on the Great Lakes or Western Rivers is meeting an upbound vessel. Which statement is TRUE?
The downbound vessel has the right-of-way. The downbound vessel must initiate the required maneuvering signals. The downbound vessel must propose the manner and place of passage. All of the above
