CHEMCO Exit Exam • Set 8 Question 22 of 30

When evacuating a seaman by helicopter lift, which course should the ship take?

✓

Direct Answer

Option B: A course that will keep a free flow of air, clear of smoke, over the hoist area.

The ship's course during a helicopter evacuation should ensure a clear hoist area, free from exhaust fumes and turbulence. Maintaining a course that provides a steady, clean airflow over the hoist area is critical for the safety and efficiency of the helicopter operation, as per IAMSAR Manual.

All Options

A
Downwind so that the apparent wind is close to nil.
B
A course that will keep a free flow of air, clear of smoke, over the hoist area. (Correct Answer)
C
A course that will have the hoist area in the lee of the superstructure.
D
With the wind dead ahead because the helicopter is more maneuverable when going into the wind.

Detailed Explanation & Context

The ship's course during a helicopter evacuation should ensure a clear hoist area, free from exhaust fumes and turbulence. Maintaining a course that provides a steady, clean airflow over the hoist area is critical for the safety and efficiency of the helicopter operation, as per IAMSAR Manual.
