BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND Which statement is TRUE concerning wing in ground (WIG) craft when taking off, landing and in flight?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) A WIG shall keep well clear of all vessels and avoid impeding their navigation.
This is correct because under the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGS), a WIG craft is considered a "vessel" and must abide by the same rules and responsibilities as other vessels. This includes the requirement to keep well clear of other vessels and avoid impeding their navigation, as stated in COLREGS Rule 18.
The other options are incorrect because: A) a WIG does not always have to give way, it depends on the specific situation and the COLREGS rules; B) a WIG is not required to exhibit a flashing yellow light; and D) a WIG should not show the lights for a vessel restricted in its ability to maneuver, as that would be a misrepresentation of its capabilities.
