USCG Exam Practice · Firefighting procedures aboard small vessels
Under 46 CFR §28.270, which of the following statements regarding the use of videotapes for crew instruction is correct?
- AViewing a videotape followed by discussion satisfies both the instruction requirement and the drill requirement
- BViewing a videotape alone, without discussion, satisfies the instruction requirement
- CViewing a videotape followed by discussion satisfies the instruction requirement but does NOT satisfy the drill requirement✓ correct
- DVideotapes may only be used to satisfy the safety orientation requirement, not the instruction requirement
Why C is correct
46 CFR §28.270(d) states that viewing videotapes covering the required contingencies, followed by a discussion led by a qualified individual, satisfies the requirement for instruction but not the requirement for drills under paragraph (b) or for the safety orientation under paragraph (e). Both a discussion and a qualified discussion leader are required; the video alone is insufficient.
