🔍 Key Concepts

• Transferring compass bearings to the chart using the correct compass rose for psc (per standard magnetic compass) • Forming lines of position (LOPs) from three light bearings and finding their intersection • Checking for plausible position relative to known features (e.g., south or north of the lights, east or west of each aid to navigation)

💭 Think About

• On the chart, what is the relationship between your position and each light if you are observing those bearings from your vessel? Think about where you must be located so that each light lies on the correct relative bearing. • After you plot the three LOPs, how close is their intersection to each answer choice in latitude and longitude? Which answer best matches that intersection? • Is there any need to apply deviation/variation corrections here, or are the bearings and course already given in the form needed for plotting on the appropriate compass rose?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm you are plotting bearings from the ship to the lights using reciprocal directions (back bearings) from the charted lights. • Be sure you are using the magnetic (not true) compass rose that corresponds to your standard magnetic compass bearings. • After plotting, verify that your final point is reasonably centered among all three lines of position, not sitting far out on one line.
