- Q126 - Navigation Problems: Near Coastal
215. You are off the coast of Mexico and are taking a time tick for 1600. At approximately 1554, you hear the preparatory signal «VVVV de XDD» from the time signal station. Then you hear a series of 1 second dashes followed by a 9 second silent period and then a long 0.8 second dash. At the beginning of the long dash, your comparing watch reads 03h 59m 56s. When compared to the chronometer, the comparing watch reads 04h 01m 22s, and the chronometer reads 04h 02m 11s. What is the chronometer error?
The chronometer was determined to be 0m 45s fast by comparing its reading to the time signal and the comparing watch, accounting for the watch's error on the signal and the chronometer's offset from the watch.
