Question 1904Navigation General70% to pass
From LAT 07°12'N, LONG 80°00'W, to LAT 47°12'S, LONG 169°18'E, the initial great circle course angle is 137.25°. How would you name this course?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) N 137.25°W.
To determine the correct course name, we need to consider the initial great circle course angle from the starting point at LAT 07°12'N, LONG 80°00'W to the ending point at LAT 47°12'S, LONG 169°18'E. The initial great circle course angle is given as 137.25°.
Since the course is north of due west, the correct naming convention is N 137.25°W. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the direction of the course.
