70% to pass

When a helicopter is lifting personnel from a survival craft, the other individuals in the craft should _______________.

A stand on the outside of the craft to assist the person being lifted
B enter the water in case the person being lifted slips from the sling
C remove their life preservers to prepare for their transfer to the helicopter
D remain seated inside the craft to provide body weight for stability
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) remain seated inside the craft to provide body weight for stability. When a helicopter is lifting personnel from a survival craft, the individuals remaining in the craft should stay seated inside to help provide stability for the craft. This keeps the craft balanced and prevents it from tipping or moving excessively during the transfer, which could endanger the person being lifted. The other answer choices, such as standing outside or entering the water, would destabilize the craft and increase the risk of the operation.
