INLAND ONLY While underway and in sight of another vessel a mile ahead you put your engines on astern propulsion. Which statement concerning whistle signals is TRUE?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) You need not sound any whistle signals.
According to the Inland Navigation Rules, specifically Rule 34, whistle signals are only required when vessels are in a meeting, crossing, or overtaking situation. Since the question states that the vessels are in sight of each other but not in a meeting, crossing, or overtaking situation, no whistle signals are required. The other options are incorrect because they either require unnecessary whistle signals or specify the wrong type of whistle signal for the given scenario.
