- Q127 - Navigation Problems: Oceans
321. On a North Pacific voyage, you wish to sail the shortest distance from LAT 46° 05' N, LONG 124° 00' W to LAT 44° 00' N, LONG 150° 00' E. You do not want to exceed 50° N latitude due to anticipated fog conditions. Which voyage plot meets these requirements? (Use gnomonic tracking chart WOXZC 5270)
The correct route utilizes a composite great-circle approach: a great circle to a point on the 50 N parallel, parallel sailing along 50 N, and then another great circle to the destination, ensuring the latitude limit is not exceeded while maintaining the shortest practicable distance.
