Q

If you are going to head directly for Chesapeake Light from your 2111 fix, what is the course to make good?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Plotting a course to a light or navigation aid from a known fix • Using true bearings and courses on the chart (not magnetic) • Measuring the course to make good with parallel rulers or a plotter

💭 Think About

• From your 2111 fix, imagine drawing a straight line to Chesapeake Light — what tool do you use on the chart to do this accurately? • Once you lay down that line, where do you place your parallel rulers on the nearest compass rose, and what part of the rose do you read for a true course? • Check whether you are reading the outer ring (true) or the inner ring (magnetic) on the compass rose — which does the question ask for?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm you are working from the correct 2111 fix position on the chart before drawing your line • Verify that you are reading the TRUE degree value on the compass rose, not magnetic or compass • After you get a value, double‑check by sliding your rulers back and forth along the same line to be sure the course reading is consistent
