Question 1 of 27070

From your 0410 fix, what is the course per standard magnetic compass to enter York Spit Channel with buoy "29" close abeam to starboard?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Plotting a course from a known fix to a channel entrance using the charted position of York Spit Channel buoy "29" • Applying variation and deviation to convert between true, magnetic, and standard magnetic compass courses • Understanding what "per standard magnetic compass" (psc) means on this exam chart

💭 Think About

• From your 0410 fix, how would you draw the track line so that you pass buoy "29" close abeam to starboard just as you enter York Spit Channel? • Once you have the true course from the chart, what sequence of corrections (add or subtract?) do you apply to get from true to compass (psc) on this particular problem? • Which of the answer choices are consistent with the general direction of the leg you just plotted on the chart toward York Spit Channel from your 0410 fix?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm the exact latitude and longitude of the 0410 fix and the charted position of buoy "29" before drawing your track • Carefully apply the local variation shown on the exam chart and the given deviation for the heading you obtain; keep track of the signs • Make sure the final value is labeled as psc (per standard compass) and that it matches the approximate direction you see on the charted course line
