🔍 Key Concepts

• True bearing vs relative bearing (what is each measured from?) • How radar displays bearings when True North is at the top vs when the ship’s heading is at the top • The role of the heading flasher on a radar screen

💭 Think About

• From what reference is a true bearing measured: the ship’s bow or True North? • If True North is at the top of the radar screen, what does the heading flasher represent? • Which answer choice actually describes a bearing (direction to a target) rather than just how the screen is oriented?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear on the definition: true bearing is measured clockwise from True North (000°T) • Identify whether the option is describing a reference direction (what’s at the top of the screen) or a bearing to a target • Check which choices talk about true vs relative bearing and whether they match the definition of true bearing
