What method should be used by survivors in a life raft to maintain body warmth in cold climates?
Direct Answer
Option A: Huddle close together, close entrance flaps, deploy floor insulation, use TPAs
LSA Code thermal protection principles require survivors in cold environments to deploy floor insulation, seal canopy entrances, and don Thermal Protective Aids (TPAs). Huddling close together minimizes exposed surface area, optimizes collective body heat retention, and reduces windchill effects inside the raft.
