You must medevac a critically injured seaman by helicopter hoist. Which statement is TRUE?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option B — The deck crew at the hoist point should not wear baseball hats.
Baseball hats and loose headwear are strictly prohibited during helicopter operations because rotor downwash can easily blow them off, creating a severe foreign object debris (FOD) hazard that can injure personnel or damage helicopter engine intakes.
