70% to passYour voyage planning indicates you will arrive at a waypoint in longitude 149°16.3'W at 0947 ZT on 3 March 1988. How should this date be entered into an AMVER report?
A
031947Z
B
03MAR1947Z
C
031947 88
D
030947W
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) 031947Z. The date and time should be entered in the AMVER report in the format DDHHMMZ, where DD is the day of the month, HH is the hour in 24-hour format, MM is the minutes, and Z indicates the time is in Zulu (UTC) time. Since the given information indicates the waypoint will be reached at 0947 Zulu time on 3 March 1988, the correct entry for the AMVER report is 031947Z. The other options are incorrect because B) includes the month abbreviation but not the Zulu time indicator, C) includes the year but not the Zulu time indicator, and D) includes the Zulu time indicator but not the date.
