Calcular gráficamente la situación observada por dos rectas de altura simultaneas en situación de estima: 24°50,3´ N; 150°58,0´E. Sabiendo que se han obtenido los siguientes determinantes: -Kochab: Z= N14W; Diferencia de alturas= +3. -Hamal: Z= N75E; Diferencia de de alturas= +2.Calculate graphically the observed position from two simultaneous position lines at DR position 24°50.3´ N; 150°58.0´E, given: Kochab: Z= N14W; Altitude difference= +3. Hamal: Z= N75E; Altitude difference= +2.
Show the answer
Correct answer: a) 24°53.7´N; 150°59.3´E
Why it is correct
N14W is 346º and N75E is 075º. The crossing is at 24º 53.7′ N, 150º 59.3′ E.
Why the others are not
- b) It does not match the working.
- c) It does not match the working.
- d) It does not match the working.
How to work it out in the exam
- Draw each line at right angles to its azimuth, Δa miles from the DR position, towards the body if positive.
- The crossing gives the fix.
