THE SHIFT POINTS FOR CIC AND THE BRIDGE SHALL DIFFER BY ATLEAST?
ONE FIX INTERVAL
WHAT IS A FIX?
POINT OF INTERSECTION OF THREE OR MORE SIMULTANEOUSLY OBTAINED LINES OF POSITION INDICATING A VESSELS EXACT POSITION
ELECTRONIC FIX
TWO VISUAL LINES OF POSITION AND ONE RADAR RANGE ARC
WHAT SYMBOL IS USED FOR ELECTRONIC FIX
TRIANGLE
ESTIMATED POSITION
TWO LINES OF POSITION - MAYBE QUESTIONABLE
DR SHOULD BE PLOTTED HOW FAR IN ADVANCE FOR RESTRICTED VISIBILTY
AT LEAST TWO FIX INTERVALS
WHAT DOES RADAR STAND FOR
RADIO DETECTION AND RANGING
WHAT DOES A RADAR DETERMINE
RANGE (DISTANCE) AND BEARING (DIRECTION) TO AN OBJECT BY MEASURING THE INTERVAL OF TIME BETWEEN THE TRANSMISSION AND RECEPTION OF THE SIGNAL RETURNED AS AN ECHO
4 FACTORS AFFECTING THE ACCURACY OF THE RADAR
BEAM WIDTH, PULSE LENGTH, MECHANICAL ADJUSTMENT, INTERPRETATION
A RADAR CAN MORE ACCURATELY DETERMINE RANGES THAN BEARINGS
TRUE
THE MOST ACCURATE RADAR FIX RESULTS FROM MEASURING AND PLOTTING RANGES TO TWO OR MORE OBJECTS
TRUE
WHERE SHOULD YOU TAKE RADAR RANGES FROM
ASTERN AND AHEAD BECAUSE OF THEM CHANGING RADIPLY
