Question 1505 Deck Safety

You are correct, the correct answer is B) orange smoke signal. Inflatable liferafts are required to carry an orange smoke signal as part of their mandatory safety equipment. This requirement is specified in the regulations for the carriage of survival craft, which include the equipment that must be aboard all inflatable liferafts. The orange smoke signal serves as a visual distress signal that can be used to attract the attention of search and rescue aircraft or vessels in the event of an emergency. The other options are incorrect because they are not required signaling devices for inflatable liferafts. An air horn would not be a suitable visual distress signal, a lantern would not provide the necessary signaling function, and a Very pistol is a different type of pyrotechnic signal that is not mandated for liferafts.
