🔍 Key Concepts

• Difference between true bearing, magnetic bearing, and relative bearing • Where the zero point is located when measuring a relative bearing • How the vessel’s own heading is used as a reference

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: When you take a relative bearing with a pelorus or radar, what direction do you start counting from? • Think about whether relative bearings change when the ship turns, even if the contact stays in the same compass direction. • Consider: If the ship swings to a new heading, does the relative bearing reference move with the ship or stay fixed to north?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify the reference direction for a relative bearing (what is 000° relative?). • Confirm whether relative bearings use the ship itself as the reference or some external north (true/magnetic). • Eliminate any options that mention a north reference, since that’s used for true or magnetic bearings, not relative.
