70% to pass

When inspecting a survival craft, you should check to make sure that the _______________.

Asea anchor is deployed
Bhydraulic starting system has been drained
Chydraulic pressure is within the specified range
Dsteering controls are locked
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) hydraulic pressure is within the specified range. When inspecting a survival craft, it is important to ensure that the hydraulic pressure is within the specified range. This is because the survival craft's hydraulic systems, such as the steering and launching mechanisms, rely on proper hydraulic pressure to function correctly. Checking the hydraulic pressure ensures that the survival craft's critical systems are ready for deployment and operation in an emergency situation. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not directly relate to the key inspection item for a survival craft. Checking the sea anchor deployment (A), the hydraulic starting system drainage (B), or the steering control lock (D) are not the primary focus of this inspection.
