Question 567Navigation General
70% to passThe Sailing Directions are published in the Enroute format and the _______________.
A
World Port Index
B
Pilot format
C
Planning Guide
D
Coastal editions
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) Planning Guide. The Sailing Directions are published in two formats: the Enroute format and the Planning Guide format. The Planning Guide format provides information to support voyage planning, including details on climate, currents, ice conditions, and other data relevant for pre-planning a voyage. This makes the Planning Guide the appropriate companion to the Enroute Sailing Directions. The other options are incorrect because the World Port Index, Pilot format, and Coastal editions are separate NOAA nautical publications that serve different purposes, and are not directly linked to the Sailing Directions format.
