Question 1 of 27070

NGA (NIMA) charts are adopting the metric system. In order to change a charted depth in meters to feet you may use the conversion table found __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Chart marginal information including notes, scales, and conversion tables • Typical contents and purpose of the Light List • What types of reference tables are included in Bowditch (American Practical Navigator)

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: When you are actually working with a paper chart, where do you immediately look for unit conversions that apply specifically to that chart? • Consider what the primary purpose of each resource (Light List, chart itself, Bowditch) is. Which are mainly for aids to navigation, which for navigation theory/reference, and which for portraying local depths and features? • Think about exam patterns: when a question mentions "conversion table" in the context of a specific chart, is it usually asking about a general reference book or something printed with that specific chart?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which publication is physically guaranteed to be available together with that particular chart on the chart table. • Check which option is specifically designed to show local depth information and sounding units for that area. • Confirm whether the Light List actually contains depth‑conversion tables, or if it mainly provides data on lights, buoys, and other aids to navigation.
