Question 3595Deck General70% to pass

The helicopter deck on an offshore drilling unit is required to be fitted with perimeter lights in alternating colors of _______________.

AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) yellow and blue. The requirement for alternating yellow and blue perimeter lights on the helicopter deck of an offshore drilling unit is specified in the Coast Guard regulations. This is outlined in 46 CFR 107.305, which states that the helicopter deck must be fitted with perimeter lights in alternating colors of yellow and blue. The other answer choices are incorrect because red and white (option C) and yellow and white (option D) do not match the regulatory requirement, while yellow and red (option B) is not the specified color combination.
