Question 772Navigation General70% to pass
A radar display which is oriented, so that north is always at the top of the screen, is called a(n) _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) stabilized display.
A stabilized display is a radar display that is oriented so that north is always at the top of the screen, regardless of the vessel's heading. This allows the navigator to easily interpret the radar image and relate it to their position and course. The stabilization is achieved through the use of heading and/or gyro information, which keeps the display oriented to true north.
The other options are incorrect:
A) Relative display shows the radar image relative to the vessel's heading, not oriented to north.
B) Unstabilized display does not have any stabilization and the orientation changes with the vessel's heading.
D) Composite display combines information from multiple radar sources, but does not necessarily imply a stabilized orientation.
