- Q127 - Navigation Problems: Oceans
228. On 27 March your 0730 zone time position is LAT 28°16'N, LONG 56°37'W. Your vessel is on course 158°T at a speed of 15.0 knots. An observation of the Sun's lower limb is made at 0915 zone time. The chronometer reads 01h 14m 11s, and the chronometer error is 00m 53s slow. The observed altitude (Ho) is 45°10.7'. LAN occurs at 1150 zone time, and a meridian altitude of the Sun's lower limb is made. The observed altitude (Ho) is 65°32.8'. Determine the vessel's 1200 zone time position.
Answer A is correct; it accurately determines the vessel's 1200 zone time position by using the latitude derived from the Sun's meridian altitude at LAN and advancing both the latitude and the 0915 Sun line by dead reckoning.
