70% to pass

To release the davit cable of a davit launched life raft, you must _______________.

A pull the hydraulic release
B pull on the ratchet handle
C pull the release lanyard
D push the release button
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) pull the release lanyard. To release the davit cable of a davit launched life raft, you must pull the release lanyard. This is the standard procedure specified in the regulations and training for the operation of davit launched life rafts. The release lanyard is designed to be pulled in an emergency situation to quickly and safely detach the life raft from the davit, allowing it to be deployed. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the proper method for releasing the davit cable. Pulling a hydraulic release, a ratchet handle, or pushing a release button would not be the correct way to release the davit cable on a davit launched life raft.
