🔍 Key Concepts

• Relative bearing vs. true bearing and how they are related to the ship’s true course • Whether the relative bearing is measured from the bow clockwise or some other reference • How to correctly add or subtract angles when converting between relative and true bearings

💭 Think About

• From what direction on your vessel is a relative bearing of 045° measured, and in which direction (clockwise or counterclockwise)? • If your ship’s head is 277°T, how do you combine that with a 045° relative bearing to find a true bearing? • After you combine them, what must you do if the result is greater than 360° or less than 000°?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm how relative bearings are defined on your exam: usually 000° at the bow, increasing clockwise through 360° • Check whether you should add or subtract the relative bearing from the true course based on its quadrant (ahead, starboard, port, astern) • After calculating, ensure the final true bearing is between 000° and 359° and is one of the provided options
