🔍 Key Concepts

• 3-bearing position fix using visual bearings to lights • Plotting lines of position (LOPs) by converting bearings to reciprocal bearings on the chart • Checking which plotted intersection best matches the Lat/Long answer choices

💭 Think About

• How do you convert a true bearing from an object into the line you plot toward the object on the chart? Think in terms of adding or subtracting 180°. • After plotting three LOPs, is the intersection point inside a small triangle of error? Where is the most reasonable fix in that triangle? • Once you have the approximate fix on the chart, which of the given Lat/Long choices most closely matches that point’s position relative to nearby landmarks and depth contours?

✅ Before You Answer

• Make sure you are using true bearings (not magnetic) and plotting them correctly from each light. • Verify each bearing’s reciprocal is plotted from the correct light symbol on the chart. • Double-check that your final plotted fix lines up logically with nearby buoys, depth soundings, and coastline shape before matching it to the best Lat/Long choice.
