Q

What is your course made good from 2045 to 2111?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Course made good (CMG) is the actual track over the ground between two known positions • Difference between intended course/heading and actual CMG due to set and drift • Using a plotting sheet to draw and measure the line between fixes

💭 Think About

• On your chart or plotting sheet, what two positions (with times) correspond to 2045 and 2111, and how do you connect them? • Once you’ve drawn the line from the 2045 position to the 2111 position, what tool do you use to measure the true direction of that line? • How does the measured direction compare to your intended course or heading—did current or leeway push you left or right?

✅ Before You Answer

• Make sure you are measuring from the 2045 fix to the 2111 fix (not the other way around) • Verify you are reading TRUE direction on the compass rose, not magnetic or compass, to match the answer choices • Double-check that your parallel rulers or plotter stayed aligned correctly while walking from the track line to the compass rose
