Section 12.56.068. Observer trip requirements.

	(a)   Pilot observer trips are required for areas that are not specifically tested for by the United States Coast Guard and those areas identified in a regional training program approved by the board under 12 AAC 56.035 where the difficulty of the route or the volume of shipping makes additional observation trips necessary to adequately judge a pilot's competency in that area. All observer trips required under this section must be completed on vessels equipped with working radar, fathometer, and compass.  
	(b)  An applicant for a deputy marine pilot license in the Southcentral Alaska Region must make an observer trip in each of the geographical areas required in the regional training program approved by the board under 12 AAC 56.035 for that region.  
	(c)  An applicant for a marine pilot license in the Southeastern Alaska Region must make an observer trip in each of the geographical areas required in the regional training program approved by the board under 12 AAC 56.035 for that region.
