Question 1169 Deck Safety
70% to passThe inside light in an inflatable liferaft is turned on _______________.
A
at night because the light has a photosensitive switch
B
with a switch near the boarding handle
C
by screwing the bulb in after the raft is inflated
D
automatically as the liferaft inflates
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) automatically as the liferaft inflates. When an inflatable liferaft is deployed, the act of inflation triggers an automatic activation of the interior light. This is a design feature required by U.S. Coast Guard regulations to ensure the liferaft interior is illuminated as soon as the raft is ready for occupants, without requiring any manual intervention. The other answer choices are incorrect because: A) the light does not have a photosensitive switch, B) there is no separate switch near the boarding handle, and C) the bulb is not screwed in manually after inflation.
