Question 351Deck Safety70% to pass

If you are in urgent need of a helicopter, which signal code should you send?

AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) BR. The code "BR" is the correct signal to send if you are in urgent need of a helicopter. This code is used in the International Code of Signals, which is a standardized set of communication signals used by ships and maritime authorities worldwide, including the US Coast Guard. The other options are incorrect because they do not correspond to the specific signal for requesting a helicopter in an urgent situation. BZ, BS, and BT1 are different signal codes used for other purposes, such as general communication, requesting medical assistance, or indicating a distress situation, but they do not specifically indicate the need for a helicopter.
