🔍 Key Concepts

• Traffic Separation Scheme (TSS) off the entrance to Chesapeake Bay and how lane directions/courses are shown on the chart • Difference between true course (°T) and compass course (psc, per standard compass) and how to convert between them using variation and deviation • How to read the charted lane arrows and course legends for inbound vs outbound lanes

💭 Think About

• On a large-scale approach chart for Chesapeake Bay, what true course is shown for the outbound southeasterly traffic lane at the entrance? • Given that course, how would you apply local magnetic variation (and any standard deviation if given) to convert from °T to °psc? • Which of the options is most consistent with that converted compass course when rounded to the nearest whole degree?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify the charted true course for the outbound SE lane specifically (not the inbound or opposite lane). • Confirm the local magnetic variation for the chart area and its east/west direction to know whether to add or subtract. • Apply the standard compass correction carefully and check whether the result is closer to the 130s or the 140s range before choosing.
