🔍 Key Concepts

• Dead reckoning (DR): what it is and why we use it • How a fix or running fix relates to your DR track • Standard chartplotting practice in coastal and open-water navigation

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: when do you actually know where you are with reasonable certainty, and what does that let you project forward? • Think about which events in navigation create a solid reference point from which future positions can be advanced by time, course, and speed. • Consider which option reflects a consistent, disciplined method rather than something that depends on area or arbitrary time intervals.

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear on the definition of dead reckoning position versus an estimated position (EP). • Check which choices are tied to types of positions (like fixes) versus where you are operating (like pilotage waters) or fixed time intervals. • Verify that good practice in DR applies in all waters, not just restricted or pilotage waters.
