Question 4181Deck General70% to pass
You are conducting trials to determine the maneuvering characteristics of your vessel. While making a turn you take the ranges and bearings of an isolated light. The results are shown in illustration D034DG below. What is the transfer for a turn of 75°?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) 300 yards (274 meters).
The transfer for a turn of 75° can be determined from the illustration D034DG, which shows the ranges and bearings of an isolated light during a turn. The transfer is the distance the vessel moves perpendicular to its original course during the turn. Based on the information provided, the transfer for a 75° turn is 300 yards (274 meters).
The other options are incorrect because they do not match the transfer value shown in the illustration. Option B (190 yards/171 meters) and Option D (230 yards/207 meters) are too small, while Option C (340 yards/306 meters) is too large for a 75° turn.
