Question 57Navigation Problems
70% to passYour vessel is steering course 166°psc, variation for the area is 8°W, and deviation is 3°W. The wind is from the west-southwest, producing a 2° leeway. What true course are you making good?
A
175°T
B
157°T
C
153°T
D
179°T
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) 153°T. To arrive at this answer, we need to consider the following factors: - Compass course: 166°psc - Variation: 8°W - Deviation: 3°W - Leeway: 2° to the west First, we need to convert the compass course to a true course by adding the variation and deviation. 166°psc + 8°W + 3°W = 177°T. Next, we need to account for the 2° leeway to the west, which means the true course being made good is 177°T - 2° = 175°T. Therefore, the correct answer is C) 153°T.
