Question 279 Deck Safety

The correct answer is D) "H". The "H" signal flag is used to indicate "I have a pilot on board". This signal is used by vessels to communicate that they have a licensed maritime pilot aboard who is providing navigation assistance. The "H" flag is the internationally recognized signal for this purpose, as defined by the International Code of Signals used for maritime communications. The other answer choices are incorrect because they represent different signal flags with different meanings. For example, "P" is the "Identifying Pennant", "Z" is the "Negative" signal, and "C" is the "Yes" or "Affirmative" signal.
