Question 1192Deck Safety70% to pass
To inflate a davit launched life raft you _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) pull the inflation lanyard.
To inflate a davit-launched life raft, the primary method is to pull the inflation lanyard. This action releases the compressed gas cylinder, which then rapidly inflates the life raft. This is the standard and most reliable method specified in the regulations and training for deploying and inflating these types of life rafts.
The other options are incorrect because: A) using a hand pump would be an inefficient and unreliable method for rapidly inflating a large life raft; B) connecting a compressed air nozzle is not the typical inflation mechanism; and D) using a helium nozzle is not the standard inflation method for these life rafts.
