Q

You should expect to pass how far off buoy "12"?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Measuring distance on the chart using the latitude scale • How to find the closest point of approach (CPA) to a navigation aid (like buoy "12") • Reading and using the chart’s scale and course line to estimate distance off

💭 Think About

• On your plotting sheet, where does your track line pass relative to buoy "12"—directly over it, or at some lateral offset? • How do you measure the perpendicular distance from your track line to the buoy’s position on the chart? • After measuring that distance in minutes of latitude, which answer choice is closest to what you measured?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm you are using the latitude scale (left or right edge of the chart) to measure distance in nautical miles. • Make sure you are measuring the shortest (perpendicular) distance from the track line to buoy "12", not along the course line. • Double‑check that the distance you measure falls between the given choices and select the nearest matching value.
