Question 1569Navigation General70% to pass
You are on course 222°T and take a relative bearing of a lighthouse of 025°. What is the true bearing to the lighthouse?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) 247°.
To find the true bearing to the lighthouse, you need to add the course and the relative bearing. Since the course is 222°T and the relative bearing is 025°, the true bearing to the lighthouse is 222° + 025° = 247°.
The other options are incorrect because:
A) 335° is the reciprocal of the relative bearing, not the true bearing.
C) 315° is the sum of the course and the complement of the relative bearing, which is not the correct calculation.
D) 197° is the reciprocal of the true bearing, not the true bearing itself.
