Q

What are some other ways to verify your fix to avoid over reliance?

Study These Flashcards
A 
secondary positioning source
soundings
visual observation
danger ranges/bearings
set and drift
relative position of aton
23
Q

If position ambiguity exists, all appropriate team members must be verbally informed and

Study These Flashcards
A

another fix taken immediately to ascertain the vessel’s position

24
Q

Coastal?
open ocean?

Study These Flashcards
A

200 yards
500 yards
1000 yards

25
what are your precautions for operating in high risk areas?
a. reduce speed b. take all way off c. increase fix interval d. turn away from danger
26
What is Voyage planning?
encompasses the development of long and short-term plans as well as contingency plans for a mission.
27
What are some considerations when building a track or course to transit on ECDIS?
1. Impact of NTM/LNTM 2. updated charts within 45 days. 3. Max XTE on each leg according to the zone. 4. OIC approved track lines and waypoints. 5. Corrected charts according to the navigational zone.
28
when do you prepare nav briefs?
entering port, restricted waters, small boat launch
29
How often should the fluxgate be calibrated?
semi annually, and cutter boat should have deviation table and updated annually.
30
what is your primary source of navigation?
ECDIS, along with position verification done at least once a day in open ocean and noted in the smooth log.
31
Shoal water is indicated in what color?
blue
32
can you use personal GPS to navigate?
negative
33
What is our chart hierarchy?
1. ENC/ IENC 2. NGA/DNC 3. RNC 4. Commercial vector chart 5. Commercial raster chart
34
Safety depth means that?
safety contour will be set at 18ft and shallow contour will be set at 12 feet.
35
Safety contour warnings will be set at?
3 minute warnings and sounder depth enabled on the checklist at 12ft.
36
Input failurs will be verified in this order?
DGPS 1, then DGPS 2 and then DR. Input failures will trigger an alarm.
37
RD 30 alarm is set at?
6ft of water beneath the keel.
38
Anchor settings will be programed as following for the swing circle?
length of vessel length of line +50 added for depth of water in order to accurately input the GPS receiver.
39
Radar is set to North up in relative motion reading the gyro and course over ground from
heading sensor input. | Radar is set at 6NM and SINS will be set at 3NM.
40
AIS is used to ?
identify vessels through the name and GPS data over a VHF-FM band.
41
AIS will transmit in secured TX with the exception of ?
OIC discretion restricted visibility SAR restricted waters
42
What will you as the OOD do for ECDIS OR DGPS failure?
1. Assess the traffic and navigational picture. 2. Compare the both DGPS settings. 3. shift to NODE II 4. Shift to manual mode.
43
What will you do for Loss of Gyrocompass?
1. slow your speed and notify OIC. 2. if in autopilot switch to manual steering. 3. mark your position 4. switch radar to heads up 5. steer magnetic compass using fluxgate compass.
44
Which Coast Pilots do we use for our AOR?
we use 2,3, and 4.
45
At anchor paper plotting is done every?
30 min.
46
ECDIS will automatically plate set and drift, when in Manual plotting fix is done over 3 min= under 3min =?
over 3 min done every fix | Under 3 min every other fix
47
How will you determine set manually?
Parallel plotter on either a meridian or compass rose and drift will be calculated using either 60 d/ sxt or nautical slide rule.
48
What are the small boat restrictions for waves, swells, wind and nav draft?
6ft waves 6 ft swells 25 kt winds 6ft draft
49
during abnormal conditions the small boat will not launch during ?

51
When to call me for navigation?
Fix places you 200 yds off track in open ocean. 100 yds in coastal water 60 yards in restricted B. Unable to take two consecutive fixes. C. In doubt of the position or safety of the ship. D. Soundings has vanished E. Aton offstation and not watching properly
52
