Question 1
ONC02INLAND ONLY Which term is NOT defined in the Inland Navigation Rules?
AI Explanation
The Correct Answer is B
**Explanation for Option B (Vessel constrained by her draft):**
The term "vessel constrained by her draft" is explicitly defined and used only in the International Rules (COLREGs), specifically in Rule 3(l) and Rule 18(d). This term is **not** defined or used anywhere in the U.S. Inland Navigation Rules (33 CFR Subchapter E). Therefore, for "INLAND ONLY" operation, this term is not defined.
**Explanation for Other Options (Why they are incorrect):**
* **A) Seaplane:** This term *is* defined in the Inland Rules (Rule 3(m)). It states that a "seaplane" includes any aircraft designed to maneuver on the water.
* **C) Restricted visibility:** This term *is* defined in the Inland Rules (Rule 3(l)). It means any condition in which visibility is restricted by fog, mist, falling snow, heavy rainstorms, sandstorms, or any other similar cause.
* **D) Underway:** This term *is* defined in the Inland Rules (Rule 3(j)). It means that a vessel is not at anchor, made fast to the shore, or aground.
