🔍 Key Concepts

• Standard magnetic compass vs. gyro or true bearings and how corrections are applied • How to read and follow the track lines and courses shown along a channel on the chart or exam diagram • The relationship between channel alignment (ranges, buoys) and the sequence of base courses you must steer

💭 Think About

• Think about how you would determine the course to steer along each leg of the channel if you were starting from the entrance and going inbound. What information on the chart would you use? • Consider how many legs the channel has and how the direction changes from leg to leg. Are the changes small and gradual or more pronounced? • Look at the three courses in each answer. Which set best reflects a realistic progression of headings for a vessel proceeding up a generally northwest‑southeast oriented channel in that area?

✅ Before You Answer

• Make sure the three courses form a logical sequence that matches the bends of the York Spit Channel (no sudden, unrealistic jumps in heading). • Check that all three courses are magnetic, not true or gyro, and would reasonably follow the charted track for that channel. • Verify that the middle course is consistent with the general axis of the channel and that the first and last courses are reasonable adjustments from that central direction.
