Module 9 - GMDSS & Safety Equipment
Applied SRC scenario
Scenario: A small craft operator must apply GMDSS & Safety Equipment during a busy coastal trip while maintaining a listening watch and clear voice procedure.
A good answer should include the call priority, the channel or DSC action, the first spoken phrase, the details to include, and the expected follow-up.
Key points
- Use GMDSS sea area A1 to identify what kind of traffic this is.
- Use A1 is VHF DSC coverage before choosing the next transmission.
- Avoid the main trap: Assuming one item of equipment guarantees rescue without registration, power, position, and follow-up.
- State what you would do if no station replies the first time.
