Question 1821Navigation General70% to pass
You take a bearing of 313° and 076° of two objects. Which bearing of a third object will give the best fix?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) 014°.
The reason for this is that to obtain the best fix, the three bearings should be as close to 90 degrees apart as possible. The two given bearings are 313° and 076°, which are 237 degrees apart. The bearing that would be 90 degrees from the midpoint of these two bearings would be 014°.
The other options are not correct because they do not provide the best 90-degree separation between the three bearings. Option A (255°) and Option D (133°) are too close to the existing bearings, while Option C (339°) is too far away from the optimal 90-degree separation.
