You continue on course from your 1126 fix. At 1131 Cape Charles Light bears 322°T. At 1135 you change course to 000°T. At 1149 Cape Henry Light bears 247°T. Which statement concerning your 1149 running fix is TRUE?
• Running fix using two bearings to different objects and a course change in between • Transferring a Line of Position (LOP) based on run between times and course/speed • Relating plotted 1149 position to nearby charted dangers, shoals, and lights
• After plotting your 1126 fix and the 1131 bearing to Cape Charles Light, how do you advance that information forward in time given your course and speed? • When you change course at 1135 to 000°T, how does that affect the way you advance or transfer your earlier LOPs to obtain a running fix at 1149? • Once you have a plotted 1149 position, what nearby chart features (shoals, lights, depth contours) does that position line up with?
• Be sure you use the correct times and legs (1126–1131, 1131–1135, 1135–1149) when advancing any LOPs • Verify your bearing directions are from the ship to the lights (and plotted correctly from the aid to the vessel) • After your 1149 running fix is plotted, compare its location precisely to Chesapeake Light, Smith Island Shoal, depth contours, and marked danger areas before choosing a statement
