Question 1499Navigation General70% to pass
You are on course 344°T and take a relative bearing of a lighthouse of 270°. What is the true bearing to the lighthouse?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) 254°.
To determine the true bearing to the lighthouse, we need to add the course and the relative bearing. Since you are on course 344°T and the relative bearing of the lighthouse is 270°, the true bearing is 344° + 270° = 614°. This value is then reduced to 254° as it exceeds 360°.
The other options are incorrect because:
A) 074° is the opposite of the correct answer,
B) 090° is the relative bearing alone, without considering the course, and
D) 016° is the difference between the course and the relative bearing, not the true bearing.
