Question 1822Navigation General70% to pass
You take a bearing of 191° and 313° to two objects. Which bearing of a third object will give the best fix?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) 249°.
The key to determining the best fix is to find the bearing that will create the widest angle between the other two bearings. In this case, the bearings given are 191° and 313°, which create an angle of 122°. To maximize the angle for the third bearing, we want to find a bearing that is approximately perpendicular to the existing bearings, which would be 249°.
The other options are incorrect because they do not create the widest possible angle between the three bearings. For example, 022° would create a narrow angle with the existing bearings, while 131° and 211° would not be perpendicular to the existing bearings.
