USCG Exam PracticeRule 5 — Look-out
Under the Inland Navigation Rules, in which conditions of visibility does Rule 5 (Look-out) apply?
- A. Only in restricted visibility, such as fog or heavy rain
- B. Only when vessels are in sight of one another
- C. Only during the hours of darkness
- ✓ In any condition of visibilityCorrect
Why D is correct
33 CFR §83.04 states that Rules 4 through 10, which include Rule 5 (33 CFR §83.05), apply in any condition of visibility. Rule 5 is therefore not limited to restricted visibility or to situations where vessels are in sight of one another.
