question 14 of 60
what information should be included in a float plan?
a a list of all known local hazards
b a waste management plan for those onboard
c the date and time to contact the authorities
d a pre - departure checklist

Explanation:

A Float Plan is a document left with a responsible person on shore. It typically includes details such as the boat's description, the number of people on board, the planned route, and importantly, the date and time when authorities should be contacted if the boat does not return as expected. This helps in timely search - and - rescue operations.

• Option A: A list of all known local hazards is not a standard part of a Float Plan. While boaters should be aware of hazards, it's not a core element of the Float Plan.
• Option B: A waste management plan for those onboard is related to environmental regulations and boat operations but not a key component of a Float Plan.
• Option C: The date and time to contact the authorities is a crucial part of a Float Plan. It allows the person on shore to initiate a rescue if the boat is overdue.
• Option D: A pre - departure checklist is for preparing the boat before leaving but is not part of the Float Plan left with someone on shore.

Answer:

C. The date and time to contact the authorities
