Skill 3 · Dead reckoningProblem 688006
Two legs from a 1310 fix: where is the 1405 DR?
At 1310 you fix your position 093°T, 2.0 nm from Heron Point Light. You steer 067°T at 5.1 kn until 1350, then 192°T at 6.0 kn until 1405.
Give the 1405 DR position as the true bearing FROM Mill stack to the DR, and the distance. Courses are true and speeds are through the water; dead reckoning ignores current and leeway.
Tolerance: 2° and 0.15 nm (or 4 % of the distance).
| 1310 fix | 093°T, 2.0 nm from Heron Point Light |
|---|---|
| Leg 1 | 067°T, 5.1 kn, 1310 to 1350 |
| Leg 2 | 192°T, 6.0 kn, 1350 to 1405 |
