PART 62--UNITED STATES AIDS TO NAVIGATION SYSTEM--Table of Contents
 
                    Subpart C--Maritime Radiobeacons
 
Sec. 62.61  Caution.

    (a) A vessel steering a course for a radiobeacon should observe the 
same precautions that apply when steering for a light or any other mark.
    (b) Distance cannot be accurately determined by radiobeacon signal. 
Mariners must exercise extreme caution when the aid to navigation which 
supports the radiobeacon is not visible, and no other means of 
determining its distance is available.
    (c) If the radiobeacon is aboard a Large Navigational Buoy (LNB) or 
on any marine site, particular care should be exercised to avoid the 
possibility of collision. In addition, caution should be exercised in 
using radiobeacons aboard floating aids, because of the possibility that 
the aid could be off station.
