I have a classmate during my review that during his board examination for OIC-NW licensure he encountered the "on range" question. It's almost a bonus question because it's so easy to answer.The following is the example problem.
A vessel is following a range to keep herself in a narrow channel. The chart indicates the range to be to be 041°. The vessel is "on range" when she is steering a course of ________.
Data on the chart and the figures are made in observance of the true north. That is why if the chart indicates the range to be 041°, the ship must be steered to 041° True, not 041° psc.
If ever you have any corrections to my solutions or you wanted to comment on something, I would love to welcome that. Thanks for visiting this blog of mine.
