7-39F1: What indication is given to the personnel in a survival craft of the approach of SAR
craft?
A. The Satellite EPIRB will change its strobe light pattern to indicate radar interrogation.
B. The SART informs survivors when the SART switches to the "standby" mode.
C. The SART may provide a visual or audible indication of interrogation by a 3-cm radar.
D. The AIS SART will alarm to indicate that SAR craft with radars are getting close. correct
answers C. The SART may provide a visual or audible indication of interrogation by a 3-cm
radar.
7-39F2: Which of the following would most likely not prevent a SART signal from being
detected?
A. The rescue personnel were monitoring the 3-CM radar and the SART was mounted
improperly in the lifeboat.
B. The SART was mounted improperly in the survival craft and rescue personnel were
monitoring the 10-CM radar.
C. The rescue personnel were monitoring the 10-CM radar and the SART was properly mounted
in the lifeboat.
D. The SART was properly mounted in the lifeboat and rescue personnel were monitoring the 3-
CM radar. correct answers D. The SART was properly mounted in the lifeboat and rescue
personnel were monitoring the 3-CM radar.
7-39F3: How can a SART's detection and effective range be maximized?
A. The SART should be held or mounted as high as possible and in a vertical position.
B. The SART should be placed in water immediately so it will begin transmitting.
C. Switch the SART into the "high" power position.
,D. If possible, the SART should be mounted horizontally so that its signal matches that of the
searching radar signal. correct answers A. The SART should be held or mounted as high as
possible and in a vertical position.
7-39F4: Which statement is NOT true regarding the SART?
A. Responds to interrogations by a vessel's X-Band radar and transmits a signal.
B. This is a 6 GHz transponder capable of being received by a vessel's X-band navigational radar
system.
C. This is a 9 GHz transponder capable of being received by a vessel's X-band navigational radar
system.
D. Transmits a distinctive 12-blip signal for easy recognition. correct answers B. This is a 6 GHz
transponder capable of being received by a vessel's X-band navigational radar system.
7-39F5: At what point does a SART begin transmitting?
A. It immediately begins radiating when placed in the "on" position.
B. If it has been placed in the "on" position, it will respond when it has been interrogated by a 9-
GHz radar signal.
C. It must be manually activated or water activated before radiating.
D. If it has been placed in the "on" position, it will begin transmitting immediately upon
detecting that it is in water. correct answers B. If it has been placed in the "on" position, it will
respond when it has been interrogated by a 9-GHz radar signal.
7-39F6: A SART's signal cannot be detected:
A. In poor visibility, or at night.
B. In heavy seas.
C. By a search vessel's 10 cm Radar.
D. By a search vessel's 3 cm Radar. correct answers C. By a search vessel's 10 cm Radar.
, 7-40F1: How does the searching vessel's radar interrogate a survival craft SART?
A. Activate the IFF interrogation system.
B. The SART responds automatically and transmits the 12-blip signal when it detects the search
craft or other vessels' X-Band radar signal.
C. Maintains watch on VHF-FM Ch-70 for the SART's unique identifier.
D. The SART responds automatically when it detects the search craft or other vessel's 10-cm
radar signal. correct answers B. The SART responds automatically and transmits the 12-blip
signal when it detects the search craft or other vessels' X-Band radar signal.
7-40F2: What radar display changes indicate the correct approach to a SART and what care
should be taken in a SAR situation?
A. The line of dots indicate the SART's position, the dots become increasing arcs as the distance
to the SART lessens, rescuing vessels should increase speed to reach Distress more quickly.
B. A line of dots on a radar screen rotates to indicate the SART's position along its line of
bearing; rescuing vessels should steer for the center of the line of dots.
C. The line of dots indicate the SART's position, the dots become increasing arcs as the distance
to the SART lessens, rescuing vessels should reduce speed as the arcs get greater in degree.
D. The line of dots indicate the SART's position, the dots become decreasing arcs as the distance
to the SART lessens, rescuing vessels should reduce speed as the arcs lessen in degree. correct
answers C. The line of dots indicate the SART's position, the dots become increasing arcs as the
distance to the SART lessens, rescuing vessels should reduce speed as the arcs get greater in
degree.
7-40F3: How can rescue personnel detect that a SART is transmitting in the immediate vicinity?
A. The DSC unit will react to the SART's signal and respond with the two-tone auto alarm.
B. The SART can provide an approximate location to within a two nautical mile radius, per IMO
standards.
