General Navigation USCG Question #276 (Set 9)

What is the light phase characteristic of a lighted isolated-danger mark?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option D — Group flashing

Isolated danger marks are characterized by a white group-flashing light, specifically Fl(2). This distinct light phase, defined by IALA standards, ensures that mariners can immediately identify the mark as an isolated hazard rather than a lateral channel marker or a safe water mark.
