What is NOT a requirement for testing the line throwing appliance on a vessel?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option A — A regular service line must be used when it's fired.
Per 46 CFR and SOLAS regulations, live service lines and pyrotechnic projectiles are never expended during routine drills. Instead, designated drill lines and dummy projectiles are used to preserve emergency equipment integrity.
