🔍 Key Concepts

• Running fix vs. dead reckoning (DR) position and what extra information a running fix gives you • How set and drift of current appear when comparing DR and observed positions • Difference between a head current, following current, and lateral set on a plotted track

💭 Think About

• When you plot a running fix and compare it to your DR track, how do you see whether current is helping, opposing, or pushing you sideways? • If your observed (running fix) position lies directly ahead or astern of your DR position on the same track line, what does that say about current? • If the running fix lies significantly to one side (e.g., north or south) of the DR track, what type of current influence does that suggest?

✅ Before You Answer

• Compare the direction from your DR position to your running fix—is it mostly along your course line or mostly sideways? • Decide whether the current is acting against your heading, with your heading, or across your heading. • Confirm whether the question is asking about set (direction current pushes you) or drift (speed of current).
