🔍 Key Concepts

• How a range works: when the two markers are exactly in line vertically, you are on the centerline of the channel (on the range line 216°T). • What it means visually when the rear (higher) range mark appears to the left or right of the front (lower) mark as you look inbound. • The difference between your present course 213°T and the range course 216°T, and how set/drift can make your heading different from your actual track.

💭 Think About

• From the illustration, decide whether the rear (taller) range marker is seen to the left or to the right of the front (shorter) marker as you look at them. • Ask yourself: if the rear mark appears on that side, are you standing to that side of the range line, or on the opposite side? Then, which way must you move (alter course) to get back onto the range line? • Compare 213°T and 216°T. If the desired track is 216°T, do you generally need to come right or left to match it? How does that compare with the direction you found from the range picture?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be very clear which is the rear (higher) range and which is the front (lower) range in the picture before deciding anything. • Verify whether you are right or left of the range line based solely on the relative positions of the two marks, not just on the numbers 213° and 216°. • Check which answers tell you to make an immediate correction toward the side of the range line you need to move toward, and eliminate any option that has you turning the wrong way.
