This lesson covers the Master's command responsibilities and practical safety measures during shipboard helicopter operations, distinguishing winching from deck-landing scenarios and focusing on the critical actions — static discharge, deck preparation, firefighting standby and communications — that the MCA oral examiner tests.

Independent preparatory study aligned to the MCA Master (Yachts less than 3000 GT) examination syllabus (updated June 2026). Not an MCA-approved course and confers no credit toward a Certificate of Competency.
