Q

A line of position formed by sighting two charted objects in line is called a(n) __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Range or leading line created by two charted objects lined up • Difference between a track line on a voyage plan and a line of position (LOP) • Meaning of relative bearing vs a fixed charted line

💭 Think About

• If you see two fixed objects exactly in line visually, what kind of navigational line does that create on the chart? • Which option describes a line you can draw on the chart that directly gives you a line of position, not just your intended course? • Which choices are about planned movement of the vessel, and which are about where you actually are at a given moment?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice is a line drawn between two fixed, charted objects used for position fixing • Eliminate any option that depends on the ship’s heading or planned course rather than external objects • Check which term is associated with visual transit/leading marks commonly used to stay in safe water or on a channel centerline
