Per 46 CFR §199.130, survival craft stowage arrangements must allow two crew members to complete preparations for embarkation and launching in less than how much time?
- A3 minutes
- B5 minutes✓ correct
- C10 minutes
- D30 minutes
Why B is correct
46 CFR §199.130(a)(5) requires each survival craft to be sufficiently ready for use so that two crew members can complete preparations for embarkation and launching in less than 5 minutes. The 10-minute and 30-minute figures appear elsewhere in the regulations as launch time limits, not preparation time limits.
