From your 0620 position, what will be the course to make good to arrive at the Y”NCA” position in question #2?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Course to Make Good (CMG) vs. steering course and how set and drift affect each • Difference between pgc (per gyro compass) and psc (per standard (magnetic) compass), including how to convert between them • Using your earlier work from question #2 (set, drift, and current triangle) to determine the track line from the 0620 position to Y"NCA"

💭 Think About

• From your 0620 plotted position, draw (or visualize) the line directly to the Y"NCA" position. What is the true course of that line? • How did you convert between true, gyro, and standard compass in previous questions on this exam? Which corrections (variation, deviation, gyro error) apply to each? • Look carefully at which answers are labeled pgc and which are psc. Based on the problem wording, should you be giving a gyro course or a standard compass course?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm whether the exam problem asked for a course to make good (CMG) or a compass course to steer, and match your method to that requirement. • Double‑check your conversion chain (e.g., True ↔ Gyro and True ↔ Magnetic ↔ Standard Compass) and the signs of variation/deviation or gyro error you used earlier in the exam. • Verify that your chosen answer uses the correct reference (pgc vs. psc) that the question is asking for, and that its value is consistent with the direction from the 0620 position toward Y"NCA" on the chart.
