Question 45 Deck Safety

The correct answer is D) use visual distress signals in conjunction with the EPIRB. This is the correct answer because visual distress signals are a critical component of signaling your location to search aircraft in a survival situation. The EPIRB will provide a homing signal to guide the aircraft to your general location, but using visual signals like flares, smoke, or mirrors will help the aircraft spot your liferaft more easily. Using both electronic and visual signals together provides the best chance of being quickly located and rescued. The other options are incorrect because they do not utilize the full range of signaling capabilities. Turning on the EPIRB strobe or switching to homing mode alone is not as effective as combining it with visual signals. Using the voice transmission on the EPIRB is not a recommended practice, as it is intended for emergency locating, not two-way communication.
