You take a run of sights, selecting the observation on the sun’s lower limb at WT 11-39-48 with hs of 74° 56.1’. You note that the 1140 GPS position is L 38°03.5’N, Lo 69°02.1’W. The knotmeter log reads 0632.2, which you use to calculate your current DR position. ? Reduce the sight, using the Meridian Transit Form contained at the end of Chapter 9. * Problem 8. (continued from previous slide) a. What is Ho? _________ b. What is the calculated latitude from your  meridian transit sight? __________ c. What is the difference between the calculated latitude from your MT sight and the latitude  given by the GPS? ________ 75° 10.6’ L 38°01.5’N 2.0 nm Click to view solution onMeridian Transit Form * * 9. Plot the MT observation on the CLS plotting sheet you prepared for Question #6. Advance the 0915 Sun LOP for a RFix with the 1140 MT. a. What are the coordinates of the 1140 RFix? _______________________ b. What is the distance between the 1140 GPS fix and the 1140 RFix? _______ ? With the distance between the 1140 GPS fix and 1140 RFix small, you’re confident that the GPS is working properly. You decide to re-start your DR course line from your next GPS fix.

The GPS indicates a position of L 38°01.0’N, Lo 69° 00.0’W and the knotmeter log reading is 0634.9.Winds are Force 4 with waves 2-3 ft. After you make your entry in the ship’s Deck log and report the position to the captain, you check on the NOAA radiofax chart issued at the 1052 weather broadcast. The low pressure system that you had been following during previous forecasts, located off the Carolina coast, is developing faster than expected. ? The forecast indicates that the system is on a course of 035° at a sp
