Under which conditions is a radar reflector not required?

When operating in limited traffic conditions during daylight with favourable environmental conditions
Always required regardless of the conditions
Only when the boat is more than 20m in length
When the boat is equipped with an electronic navigation system

The correct answer is: When operating in limited traffic conditions during daylight with favourable environmental conditions

Radar reflectors are typically used by boats to make them more visible to other boats, especially when there is limited visibility due to weather conditions or at night. However, in favourable conditions such as during the day with good visibility and limited traffic, the use of a radar reflector is not necessary. Option B is incorrect because as stated, a radar reflector is only required in certain conditions. Option C is incorrect because the size of the boat is not a determining factor for the use of a radar reflector. Option D is also incorrect because having an electronic navigation system does not negate the need for a radar reflector in certain conditions. Therefore, option A is the only suitable choice as it accurately describes the conditions under which a radar reflector is not required.
