Seguimos navegando por el dispositivo de separación de tráfico. Una vez fuera de este, tomamos demoras verdadera a Punta Paloma: 055º y Punta Malabata: 159º. ¿En qué posición nos encontramos?.After clearing the traffic separation scheme, you take simultaneous true bearings Dv Punta Paloma = 055º and Dv Punta Malabata = 159º. What is your position?
Show the answer
Correct answer: c) Latitude: 36º 00' N / Longitude: 05º 50' W
Why it is correct
Plotting the reciprocal bearing 235º from Punta Paloma lighthouse (36º 04.0′ N, 005º 43.2′ W) and 339º from Punta Malabata lighthouse (35º 48.8′ N, 005º 45.0′ W), the two lines intersect at 36º 00′ N, 005º 50′ W.
Why the others are not
- a) Does not match the charted intersection of Dv(Paloma) = 055º and Dv(Malabata) = 159º.
- b) Does not match the charted intersection of Dv(Paloma) = 055º and Dv(Malabata) = 159º.
- d) Does not match the charted intersection of Dv(Paloma) = 055º and Dv(Malabata) = 159º.
How to work it out in the exam
- Plot the reciprocal bearing 235º from Punta Paloma and 339º from Punta Malabata.
- Read the coordinates of the intersection: 36º 00′ N, 005º 50′ W.
