🔍 Key Concepts

• Line of position (LOP) from a bearing to a known object • Using the correct reciprocal bearing when plotting on the chart • Reading latitude carefully from the chart’s side scale

💭 Think About

• How do you convert a true bearing to a light into the line you actually draw on the chart? What angle do you plot? • Once both LOPs are drawn, where is your fix, and which edge of the chart do you use to read its latitude? • Given how close the latitude choices are, what scale and precision do you need when reading latitude from the chart?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm you are using true bearings directly on the chart (no magnetic/compass correction needed here). • Double-check you plotted the reciprocal bearings of the given lines, not the bearings themselves. • Use the side (meridian) scale of the chart to read latitude to the nearest tenth of a minute, then compare carefully with the four choices.
