En situación l = 35º-50,0’ N, L = 006º-10,0’ W, se da rumbo a un punto de situación l = 34º-33,0´N, L = 009º-23,0’ W, Vhb = 7 nudos, hay corriente, Rc = 090º Ihc = 3 nudos. Calcular el Ref.At l = 35º-50.0’ N, L = 006º-10.0’ W, we set course for a point at l = 34º-33.0´N, L = 009º-23.0’ W, speed 7 knots, with a current setting 090º at 3 knots. Calculate the course made good.
Show the answer
Correct answer: b) 244º.
Why it is correct
To reach the point, the course made good must be the direct one: Δlat = 77′ S and departure 157′ W give 244º. The course to steer would differ, to allow for the current.
Why the others are not
- a) That is the course to steer, not made good.
- c) It does not match the working.
- d) It does not match the working.
How to work it out in the exam
- Course made good: the one we want over the ground.
