🔍 Key Concepts

• Chronometer error – the difference between chronometer time and true (correct) time • Ways of obtaining accurate time at sea (e.g., radio time signals, known timepieces, previous error and rate) • How a chronometer rate (gain or loss per day) is used over an interval of days

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: what information do you need in order to know the chronometer’s error at a specific moment – do these methods all provide that? • Think about whether each listed method, by itself, can give you a comparison between the chronometer time and a reliable reference time. • Consider: if you already know the chronometer’s daily rate from a previous check, can that help you find its current error without checking any external signal right now?

✅ Before You Answer

• For each choice, check whether it gives you both: (1) a correct reference time and (2) a way to compare that with the chronometer’s reading. • Verify which methods are commonly used in practice on board ships to determine or update chronometer error. • Ask: is any option in the list merely a subset or specific example of another, more general option? This can affect whether a combined answer like "all of the above" is appropriate.
