Question 207Safety & Environmental - Assistant Engineer

The correct answer is A) deflate the floor of the raft to reduce the danger of capsizing. When a helicopter is lifting personnel from an inflatable life raft, deflating the floor of the raft helps to reduce the risk of the raft capsizing during the transfer. This is because the reduced buoyancy of the deflated floor makes the raft more stable and less likely to tip over as the personnel are being hoisted up. The other answer choices are incorrect because: B) inflating the floor would make the raft less stable, C) keeping life jackets on is essential for safety, and D) the sea anchor should remain deployed to help stabilize the raft.
