All of the above factors will affect the speed of recovery. Recovery technique refers to the method or process used to recover something, such as a person or an object. The choice of recovery technique can greatly impact the speed of the recovery. Wind direction and sea state can also have a significant impact on the speed of recovery, as adverse weather conditions can make it more difficult and dangerous to carry out recovery operations. Visibility level is another important factor, as poor visibility can hinder the effectiveness and efficiency of recovery efforts. Therefore, all of these factors play a role in determining the speed of recovery.

This answer suggests that the ship emergency at sea may require MEDICO (medical assistance) and MEDEVAC (medical evacuation). This implies that the emergency situation involves a medical issue or injury on board the ship that requires immediate attention and potentially evacuation for further medical treatment.

An EPIRB (Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon) is a device that is used to transmit a signal to alert SAR (Search and Rescue) authorities and allows rescue facilities to home in on the distress vessel. It is specifically designed for maritime use and is activated in emergency situations to help locate and rescue individuals in distress at sea.

Ships and aircraft use different frequencies for communication, which is why they generally cannot establish direct contact with each other. Ships typically use very high frequency (VHF) radios, while aircraft use very high frequency omnidirectional range (VOR) or instrument landing system (ILS) frequencies. These different frequencies are specifically assigned for each type of vehicle, ensuring efficient and clear communication within their respective domains.

Hypothermia is the correct answer because it is the abnormal lowering of internal body temperature from exposure to cold air, wind, or water. This condition occurs when the body loses heat faster than it can produce it, leading to symptoms such as shivering, confusion, slowed heart rate, and eventually, unconsciousness. Hypothermia can be life-threatening if not treated promptly.

"Silence fini" is a radio procedural word that is used to indicate the end of silence and the resumption of normal communication. In emergency situations, radio operators may use "silence fini" to inform others that the emergency is over and that regular communication can resume. This phrase is commonly used in maritime and aviation contexts to ensure clear and efficient communication.

During pirate attacks, the crew is usually ordered not to fight against them. This is because engaging in a physical confrontation can escalate the situation and put the crew members at a higher risk of harm or even death. Instead, the crew is often advised to follow specific protocols and procedures to ensure the safety of everyone on board, such as locking themselves in secure areas, activating distress signals, and cooperating with the pirates to minimize any potential harm.

The given options list various ship emergencies at sea, such as hull damages, medical emergencies, grounding, and low on fuel. However, the correct answer is "low on fuel." This means that running out of fuel or having insufficient fuel is not considered a ship emergency at sea.

The best time to cancel a distress message is when the distress craft has been recovered. This means that the situation that prompted the distress message has been resolved and there is no longer a need for assistance. Cancelling the distress message at this point ensures that resources are not wasted and that emergency services can focus on other ongoing emergencies.

The correct answer is "single turn." This term refers to a maneuver known as the Anderson turn or the fastest recovery method.

Grounding refers to the situation where a ship runs aground or becomes stranded on the seabed or a shoal. In this scenario, the ship's emergency at sea would require the vessel to reduce its draught, which means it needs to decrease the depth of its submerged part in order to free itself from the grounding. This could involve various actions such as jettisoning cargo or ballast, or waiting for the tide to rise. Therefore, grounding is the most suitable option among the given choices.

A distress signal is the emergency signal that has the priority over other communication. It is used to indicate that a person or a vessel is in immediate danger and requires immediate assistance. Distress signals are recognized internationally and are given the highest priority by search and rescue authorities. They are meant to attract attention and alert others to the emergency situation, ensuring prompt and effective response. Safety and urgency signals may also indicate a need for assistance, but a distress signal specifically indicates a life-threatening situation.

The correct answer is INMARSAT-E EPIRB. This type of EPIRB operates only within the INMARSAT coverage area, which is generally between 70 degrees latitude north or south. This means that the INMARSAT-E EPIRB can only be used in specific regions where the INMARSAT satellite network provides coverage.

The 2182 kHz frequency in NBDP MF is designated as a radio distress frequency for radiotelephony. Radiotelephony refers to the transmission of voice communications using radio waves. This frequency is used for distress calls and emergency communications in maritime and aviation industries.

A distress alert refers to a notification sent through any means to indicate that a distress situation exists and assistance is required. This alert is crucial in emergency situations where immediate help is needed. It serves as a call for help and enables coordination and response from relevant authorities or individuals to provide the necessary assistance.

The correct answer is cospas-sarsat. Cospas-Sarsat is a satellite system that is responsible for calculating position information for Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacons (EPIRB), Emergency Locator Transmitters (ELT), and Personal Locator Beacons (PLB). It is an international cooperative effort between several countries and organizations to provide distress alerting and search and rescue services worldwide. Inmarsat-E, Inmarsat-A, and Inmarsat-B are different satellite systems that are not specifically designed for calculating position information for these emergency devices.

The correct answer is "medical advisory radio center." This is the best-known medical advisory service because it provides radio-based medical advice and guidance. It is likely that this service has gained recognition and popularity for its expertise in providing medical advice through radio communication.

Civil vessels and aircraft may need to communicate with each other in both emergency situations and when communicating with SAR (Search and Rescue) facilities. In emergency situations, such as accidents or distress calls, it is crucial for civil vessels and aircraft to communicate with each other to coordinate rescue efforts and ensure the safety of those involved. Additionally, they may need to communicate with SAR facilities to provide information about their location, situation, and any assistance required. Therefore, both options a and c are correct as they represent different scenarios where communication between civil vessels and aircraft is necessary.

In any situation where a person is noticed to be overboard from the bridge, immediate action should be taken. This means that as soon as the person is noticed missing, appropriate measures should be taken to locate and rescue them. Delayed action would be ineffective and could result in serious harm or even death for the person overboard. Therefore, the correct answer is "all of the above" because in any situation, whether it is a person missing in action, immediate action should be taken to ensure their safety.

The minimum operating time of a maritime EPIRB as required by IMO is 48 hours. This means that the EPIRB is designed to transmit a distress signal for a minimum of 48 hours in order to increase the chances of being detected and rescued in case of an emergency at sea. This longer operating time allows for a wider search window and ensures that the distress signal can be received by search and rescue authorities for a sufficient duration.

EPIRB stands for Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon, which is a radio beacon specifically used by aircraft. It is designed to transmit distress signals in case of an emergency, such as a crash or forced landing. EPIRBs are equipped with GPS technology to provide accurate location information, allowing search and rescue teams to quickly locate and assist the aircraft in distress.

A vessel in distress message must contain the time of abandon ship, position, and identification of the vessel. The number of message sent is not a necessary piece of information to include in a distress message.

When an aircraft sends a distress alert, it is usually relayed to a vessel in the vicinity by the RCC (Rescue Coordination Center). The RCC is responsible for coordinating and managing search and rescue operations. They have the necessary resources and expertise to respond to distress alerts and coordinate the rescue efforts. The RCC will communicate with the vessel in the vicinity to provide them with information about the distress situation and coordinate any necessary assistance or rescue operations.

If an EPIRB (Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon) cannot be taken into the survival craft during abandoning ship, the correct action would be to let it float free and activate automatically. This is because EPIRBs are designed to automatically activate and transmit distress signals when they come into contact with water. By allowing it to float freely, it increases the chances of the EPIRB being detected and providing the necessary assistance in a maritime emergency.

Grounding is not considered an in-flight emergency because it refers to the act of keeping an aircraft on the ground and not allowing it to take off or continue its flight. In-flight emergencies typically refer to unexpected situations or events that occur during a flight, such as mechanical difficulties, forced landings, or being low on fuel. Grounding, on the other hand, is a deliberate decision made by the airline or authorities to keep the aircraft on the ground for various reasons, such as maintenance, safety concerns, or regulatory issues.

MEDICO messages are usually addressed to RCC (Rescue Coordination Center). RCC is responsible for coordinating and managing search and rescue operations. MEDICO messages are used in maritime emergencies to request assistance and provide relevant information about the situation. RCC is the appropriate authority to receive and respond to these messages, ensuring that the necessary resources and assistance are provided in a timely manner.

ELT's (Emergency Locator Transmitters) and EPIRB's (Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacons) provide a homing signal on a frequency of 121.5 MHz. This frequency is internationally recognized as the distress frequency for aviation and maritime emergencies. It is monitored by search and rescue organizations worldwide, making it the standard frequency for transmitting distress signals and aiding in locating and rescuing individuals in distress.

The term "out" is used in radio communication to indicate the end of transmission when no reply is expected or required. It is a way for the person speaking to signal that they have finished speaking and are no longer expecting a response. This helps to ensure clear and efficient communication, especially in situations where multiple people may be using the same frequency or channel.

The correct answer is DISTRESS. In maritime communication, distress is an emergency signal that has priority over all other signals. It is used to indicate that a vessel or person is in immediate danger and requires immediate assistance. When a distress signal is sent, all nearby vessels and authorities are obligated to respond and provide assistance.

The frequencies 121.5 MHz, 156.8 MHz, and VHF channel 16 are all internationally recognized distress frequencies used for emergency communication. However, 2188 kHz is not an international distress frequency.

The correct answer is the scharnow turn. The scharnow turn is a standard method of recovery that saves time and covers less distance compared to other methods such as the anderson turn and the 270 maneuver. It involves a 180-degree turn followed by a 90-degree turn in the opposite direction, allowing the vehicle to quickly change direction and continue on its original path. This maneuver is commonly used in maritime navigation to avoid obstacles or hazards while minimizing the distance traveled.

The correct answer is "figures" because it is spoken just before the numbers are given in a message. This suggests that the speaker is referring to numerical values or statistics, which are typically represented using figures or digits. The other options, such as verb, subject, and alphabet, do not directly relate to numbers or numerical data.

A fishing vessel is especially equipped to use 2182 kHz. This frequency is commonly used for distress and safety communications at sea. Fishing vessels need to be equipped with this frequency to ensure that they can communicate in case of emergencies or distress situations while out at sea.

When an aircraft is ditching into a swell, it should touch down on the surface just after the passage of a crest. A swell refers to a series of long, rolling waves in the ocean. The crest is the highest point of a wave, while the trough is the lowest point. By touching down just after the crest, the aircraft can minimize the impact and avoid hitting the trough, which could cause the aircraft to submerge or become unstable.

A hydrostatic release system is a device fitted on the installation of a liferaft and EPIRB (Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon) on board a vessel. It is designed to automatically release the liferaft and EPIRB when the vessel sinks. The system operates based on water pressure, releasing the equipment at a certain depth to ensure that it is deployed only when submerged in water. This allows for the timely and automatic release of the liferaft and EPIRB in case of an emergency, increasing the chances of survival for the crew members.

The answer PAN-PAN is correct because it is a radio communication signal used to indicate an urgent situation that is not immediately life-threatening. It is used when there is a potential danger or problem that requires assistance, but it is not as severe as a Mayday signal. The PAN-PAN signal is used to grab the attention of other vessels or authorities and request immediate assistance.

The SAR personnel should use the word "roger" to mean that they have received the transmission satisfactorily. "Roger" is a commonly used radio communication term derived from the phonetic alphabet, indicating that a message has been understood and acknowledged.

Maritime mobile service uses frequency modulation. Frequency modulation (FM) is a method of encoding information on a carrier wave by varying the frequency of the wave. In the maritime mobile service, FM is commonly used for transmitting voice communications over radio waves. FM provides good audio quality and is resistant to noise and interference, making it suitable for communication at sea. It allows for clear and reliable communication between ships, coast stations, and other maritime mobile stations.

The Beaufort wind force scale is a measurement system that relates wind speed to observed conditions at sea. Force 5 on the scale corresponds to moderate waves, which means that the wind speed is around 17-21 knots or 19-24 mph. This level of wind force would create waves with heights of 4-8 feet, and would generally be considered moderate conditions for sailing or boating.

ELT stands for Emergency Locator Transmitter, which is a radio beacon specifically used by airplanes. It is designed to automatically activate in the event of an aircraft crash or emergency, transmitting a distress signal on a specific frequency. This signal helps search and rescue teams locate the aircraft and provide assistance. PLB (Personal Locator Beacon), DSC (Digital Selective Calling), and EPIRB (Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon) are also radio beacons, but they are not specifically used by airplanes.

The correct answer is 500 kHz. This frequency was eliminated upon compliance with GMDSS (Global Maritime Distress and Safety System). GMDSS is an internationally recognized set of regulations and procedures for communication and distress signaling at sea. The elimination of 500 kHz was part of the transition from older analog communication systems to newer digital systems.

In a situation where MOB (man overboard) was reported to the bridge by an eyewitness and action is initiated with some delay, the correct answer would be "delayed action." This means that there was a delay in taking action or responding to the report of a person falling overboard. This delay could have various reasons such as miscommunication, lack of immediate awareness, or other factors that prevented immediate action to be taken.

The explanation for the correct answer is that giving medical information is not one of the points to be considered when arranging for the evacuation of a patient by helicopter. The other points mentioned, such as the patient's vital signs, preparing important documents, and advising any changes in the patient's condition, are all important factors to consider during the evacuation process. However, providing medical information is not specifically mentioned as a point to be considered.

The correct answer is amplitude modulation. In the aeronautical mobile service, VHF telephony uses amplitude modulation for communication. Amplitude modulation involves varying the amplitude of the carrier wave in proportion to the audio signal being transmitted. This allows the audio signal to be superimposed onto the carrier wave, enabling the transmission of voice signals over VHF frequencies.

In winds 0-25 knots, it is possible to ditch an aircraft in restricted visibility during heavy weather conditions. The condition mentioned in the answer suggests that when ditching, the pilot should ignore crosswind components and instead land parallel to the primary swell. This means that the pilot should align the aircraft with the direction of the primary waves in order to minimize the impact and maximize the chances of survival during a water landing.

A SART (Search and Rescue Transponder) is an equipment that, when activated, will interact with the 9 GHz vessel and aircraft radars. It is used to locate and rescue individuals in distress at sea by transmitting a series of pulses that appear as a line of dots on the radar screen. This allows search and rescue teams to quickly locate the distressed vessel or aircraft and provide assistance.

The correct answer is "wait." In radio communication, "wait" is a procedural word used to indicate that the speaker needs to pause for a few seconds and standby for further transmission. It is a signal for the listener to be patient and not interrupt or respond until the speaker continues with their message.

Both the pilot in command and the master are responsible for declaring a distress condition using the MAYDAY signal. The pilot in command is responsible for declaring a distress condition in aviation, while the master is responsible for declaring a distress condition in maritime situations. Therefore, both options are correct depending on the context of the situation.

The correct answer is SOLAS. SOLAS, which stands for the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea, contains the mandatory minimum requirements for the training of masters of merchant ships in Search and Rescue (SAR) operations. SOLAS is an international maritime treaty that sets out various safety and security measures for ships, including training requirements for personnel involved in SAR operations. It ensures that masters of merchant ships are adequately trained to handle emergency situations and coordinate SAR efforts effectively.

The correct answer is 70 degrees latitude north or south. This is because the geostationary INMARSAT system provides coverage up to 70 degrees latitude north or south. Beyond this latitude, the system's coverage becomes less reliable due to the curvature of the Earth and the positioning of the satellites in geostationary orbit.
