Module 9 - GMDSS & Safety Equipment

Module completion standard

Mark GMDSS & Safety Equipment complete only when you can use it in a spoken scenario, not just when the terms look familiar.

The minimum standard is that you can build a correct, concise call, explain the channel or DSC choice, and identify what you would listen for next.

Key points

  • I can explain How VHF fits alongside EPIRB, PLB, SART, AIS, Navtex, and other distress or safety information systems.
  • I can apply GMDSS sea area A1, EPIRB and PLB, SART, AIS and Navtex to a realistic call.
  • I can avoid this trap: Assuming one item of equipment guarantees rescue without registration, power, position, and follow-up.
  • I know SRC revision does not replace the official course, exam, licence requirements, or practical radio operation standards.
