At 0705, the gyro loses power. At 0730, you are on course 092° per standard magnetic compass (psc) when you take the following bearings:

Falkner Island Light: 356°psc Horton Point Light: 123°psc Kelsey Point Breakwater Light: 048°psc

What is the position of your 0730 fix?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Converting standard magnetic compass (psc) bearings to true bearings using variation and deviation from the deviation table on your exam chart or reference • Plotting simultaneous position lines (three bearing fix) on the chart from known navigation lights • Checking that the labeling and crossing of the three LOPs (Lines of Position) makes sense relative to your intended course 092° psc and the shoreline features

💭 Think About

• First, think about what corrections (if any) you must apply to change compass bearings (psc) into true bearings before plotting. What information on your exam chart helps you do this? • Once you’ve converted and plotted the three bearings from each light, where should the three lines intersect, and how do you read the latitude and longitude of that intersection? • Compare the general location of your plotted fix (north/south and east/west) with nearby landmarks and depth contours. Which answer choice best matches that spot?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify you are using the correct variation and deviation taken from the chart or deviation table that applies at 0730 • Confirm that all three bearings are plotted from the correct light symbols on the chart and laid off in the correct direction (FROM the vessel TO the light) • Double-check the lat/long scale reading: ensure you are reading latitude from the side borders and longitude from the top/bottom, and that your minutes and tenths of minutes match one of the options
