Principals Flashcards
After plotting the first fix what is the next step for finding tide experienced?
Lay off the water track for the distance run
After the water track, what’s next for a tide experienced?
Plot the second fix
After the second fix, what’s next on a tide experienced?
End of water track to second fix is the tidal vector (tide experienced)
If given a time, what is first on a course steered?
Plot the first fix
After the first fix, what must you plot on a course to steer when given the time?
Destination (EP)
After the destination what must you plot on a course to steer when given a time?
Ground track from fix to EP
After the ground track, what’s next on a course to steer when given a time?
Tidal vector from first fix
After the tidal vector what’s next on a course to steer with a given time?
Tidal vector to EP is water track
In a course to steer with a given time, which track is used to find speed?
Water track
What do you do first when finding an EP?
Plot the first fix
After plotting the first fix what’s next when finding an EP?
Lay off the water track for the distance run
After the water track what is next in finding an EP
Tidal vector from the water track
What’s at the end of the tidal vector when finding an EP?
The EP
What’s the first step of a running fix?
Plot the first LOP
After the first LOP, what’s next in a running fix?
Choose a start point and make it an EP
After you’ve chosen a start point what happens next in a running fix?
Lay off the water track from the EP
After the water track in a running fix comes a….?
Tidal vector
After plotting the tidal vector in a running fix what comes next?
Transfer the first LOP though the EP at the end of the tidal vector
After transferring the first LOP what’s next in a running fix?
Plot the second LOP. where it crosses is the fix
First step of a course to steer with no time given
Plot the first fix
Course to steer with no time given after the first fix…
Plot destination as an EP
After the destination what happens next in a course to steer without a given time
Ground track is fix to EP
After ground track what’s next in a course to steer with no time given?
Tidal vector from first fix
After tidal vector in a course to steer with no time given?
Scribe an arc on the ground track from the end of the tidal vector to the distance run. This is the water track and an EP.
First step of plotting a tide experienced?
- Plot the first fix
