🔍 Key Concepts

• Using three visual bearings to obtain a fix by plotting lines of position (LOPs) • Converting a per gyro compass (pgc) bearing to a true bearing before plotting, if a gyro error is given in the exam setup • Taking the reciprocal bearing (ship from the object) when drawing the LOP through a charted aid to navigation

💭 Think About

• On your training/chart for this exam, where are Saybrook Breakwater Light, Little Gull Island Light, and Horton Point Light located relative to each other (rough sketch first)? • Once you convert the 3 bearings to the form you actually plot on the chart, what are the three reciprocal bearings you should draw through each light? • After plotting, which of the answer choices most closely matches the latitude and longitude of the intersection of the three LOPs?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm whether you must convert pgc to true using any stated gyro error elsewhere in the exam before plotting • Make sure each LOP is drawn through the correct light using the reciprocal of the plotted bearing (object-to-ship, not ship-to-object) • After you mark the fix, carefully read the latitude and longitude off the chart and compare all digits (degrees and tenths of minutes) to the choices.
