You have abandoned ship and after two days in a liferaft you can see an aircraft near the horizon apparently carrying out a search pattern. What action should you take?

Correct Answer: Option D — use visual distress signals in conjunction with the EPIRB

Visual distress signals, such as pyrotechnics or signal mirrors, are essential to supplement electronic signals. While an EPIRB provides location data, visual signals allow aircrews to pinpoint the exact location of the survivors, especially when multiple targets exist or when the aircraft is within visual range of the raft.
