Question 1211Deck Safety70% to pass
While retrieving the survival craft, the engine should be stopped _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) when the craft clears the water.
The reasoning behind this is that when retrieving a survival craft, the engine should be stopped once the craft has cleared the water and is securely on the platform or deck. This is to prevent any damage to the craft or the retrieval equipment as the craft is being lifted and secured. Stopping the engine while the craft is still in the water could cause issues with the craft's positioning or stability during the retrieval process.
The other options are incorrect because: A) Stopping the engine at the embarkation point would be too early in the process. B) Stopping on approach to the platform may be too late and could cause problems. C) Stopping when the cable is attached may also be too early, as the craft could still be unstable in the water.
