🔍 Key Concepts

• Nominal range vs. geographic range of a light and which one limits when you can see it • How visibility in miles affects the luminous range of a light (use the luminous range diagram conceptually) • Reading the Light List/List of Lights note that states when the light can first be seen

💭 Think About

• From your plotting work or table, decide how many miles away you are from New Haven Light at each candidate time and compare that to the 11‑mile visibility limit. • Ask yourself: is your ability to see the light limited by the height of eye and height of light (geographic range) or by the meteorological visibility (luminous range)? • Check which choices are statements of fact versus times you must compute from your DR (dead reckoning) track and speed.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify the nominal range of New Haven Light and compare it to 11 miles to see if the light is ever visible in these conditions. • Confirm your distance off the light at each candidate time using your course, speed, and DR positions. • Make sure the option that gives a specific sighting time is consistent with both your distance off and the maximum visible range under 11‑mile visibility.
