🔍 Key Concepts

• Range lines and charted bearings – how the range line direction is shown on the chart (true bearing) • Converting true to magnetic – relationship between true, magnetic, and variation (TVMDC) • Direction of travel on a range – inbound vs outbound uses reciprocal bearings

💭 Think About

• Look at a chart of New London Harbor and find the listed TRUE bearing of the range you are steering on. Are you going into the harbor (up channel) or out of it? • Once you know the true course of the range, think through how to apply local variation to convert that true course to a magnetic course. • Ask yourself: when the question says “standard magnetic compass,” are you expected to include deviation, or just stop at the magnetic value from the chart/variation? That affects how many correction steps you apply.

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm whether the charted range bearing is given as a true bearing, and whether you need the reciprocal for going up channel. • Check the local magnetic variation for New London on the chart, including whether it is east or west, and apply the TVMDC steps in the correct order. • Verify if the exam expects you to treat the standard magnetic compass as already corrected for deviation, so that you only adjust for variation from true to magnetic.
