A

a steady bearing w/decreased range means the collon is imminentwho is often responsible in ggrounding errorsground errors are often responsibility of hte navigator. most grounding errors are violations of hte basic principles of navigation

489
Q

errors taht lead to grounding

A
  • laying down the ship intended track too close to known shoal water or too shallow for ship’s draft
  • failure to plot danger and turn bearings on chartistics

  • improper applicatino of known gyro error
    -0 failure to use visual aids
  • failure to have access to latest edition of Nitoice to Mariner
  • failure to use dead recknoning plot effectively
    0 failrue to fix position by distance run between succesful bearings when only are landmarks ID

- every couerse change
- q speed change
- q fix/running fix
- q line of position
- each time new course
