Question 4518 Deck General

The correct answer is A) 1/10 of the breaking strength of the hoist rope times the parts of line used. This is the correct answer because the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 46 CFR 107.257 states that the weight of the loaded personnel carrier must not exceed 1/10 of the breaking strength of the hoist rope times the parts of line used. This regulation ensures that the personnel carrier is not overloaded, which could lead to a dangerous situation during the transfer. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not align with the specific regulatory requirement outlined in 46 CFR 107.257. For example, options B and C reference the static rated load, which is not the appropriate criterion for determining the maximum weight of the loaded personnel carrier.
