🔍 Key Concepts

• Plotting cross bearings to obtain a line of position (LOP) from each light • Understanding what "pgc" (per gyrocompass) means and how it affects plotting • Using the charted positions of Cape Charles Light and Cape Henry Light to find a fix and read latitude

💭 Think About

• On your chart, where are Cape Charles Light and Cape Henry Light located, and what are their charted positions? • If you plot the two bearing lines from the lights using the given pgc bearings, where do those two lines intersect? • Once you have the intersection (your fix), how do you read the latitude from the chart scale as precisely as the options require?

✅ Before You Answer

• Make sure you draw the bearings from the correct points (the lights) using the reciprocal of the observed bearings if needed • Verify you are using the proper meridian/latitude scale on the chart to read latitude to the nearest 0.1 minute • Confirm that you have not mixed up true vs. gyro vs. magnetic; in this question, you can treat the given pgc bearings as plotting bearings unless instructed otherwise
