70% to passIf there are no alternatives for escape, what is the maximum height that the survival craft could be dropped into the water?
A
2 ft.
B
6 ft.
C
10 ft.
D
14 ft.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) 10 ft. According to the regulations for US Coast Guard Captain's License Examinations, the maximum height that a survival craft can be dropped into the water without alternatives for escape is 10 feet. This is specified in the Code of Federal Regulations (46 CFR 199.130) for lifeboat launching appliances. The other answer choices are incorrect because 2 ft is too low, 6 ft is below the 10 ft limit, and 14 ft exceeds the maximum allowable height.
