Se pide calcular la situación observada por dos rectas de altura simultaneas en posición de estima: le=:27º 00,0´N; Le:016°31,9´W, sabiendo que se han observado los siguientes determinantes: Atria (Azimut verdadero: 005º y Diferencia de altura: - 3,5) y Formalhaut (Azimut verdadero: 120º y Diferencia de altura: +2,5).Calculate the observed position from two simultaneous position lines at DR position le=27º 00.0´N; Le:016°31.9´W, given: Atria (True azimuth: 005º, Altitude difference: - 3.5) and Formalhaut (True azimuth: 120º, Altitude difference: +2.5).
Show the answer
Correct answer: a) l: 26º 56.4’N L: 016º 31.0’W
Why it is correct
The lines cross at 26º 56.4′ N, 016º 31.0′ W.
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.
