USCG Exam PracticeSTCW basic training (where applicable)
Under 46 CFR §11.302, which of the following personal survival technique tasks may be documented through onboard training and experience (1 year of sea service within the last 5 years) rather than requiring an approved shore-based assessment?
- A. Donning and using an immersion suit
- B. Righting an inverted liferaft while wearing a lifejacket
- ✓ Streaming a lifeboat drogue or sea-anchorCorrect
- D. Safely jumping from a height into the water
Why C is correct
46 CFR §11.302(c)(1)(iv) lists streaming a lifeboat drogue or sea-anchor as an item acceptable through onboard training and experience. The other three options — donning an immersion suit, righting an inverted liferaft, and safely jumping from a height — are listed under §11.302(d)(1) as tasks requiring approved shore-based assessments only.
