You are approaching a light fitted with a RACON. The light may be identified on the radar by __________.

Correct Answer: Option A — a coded signal appearing on the same bearing at a greater range than the light

A Racon is designed to provide positive identification of a navigational aid. When interrogated by a ship's radar, it responds with a coded signal that appears on the PPI as a series of dots and dashes extending radially outward from the target's position, always at a slightly greater range.
