    SECTION – II PRACTICAL NAVIGATION

    QUESTION NO. 4 IS COMPULSORY. ATTEMPT ANY THREE QUESTIONS FROM


    THE REMAINING FOUR(35 MARKS EACH)

    Q. 4 In DR 490 30’S 0690 14’E, an observation of a heavenly body gave an intercept of


    9.5’(T) on an azimuth of 0560(T). Vessel then steamed on a course of 1440(T) for 35
    miles when the 2nd observation of a heavenly body gave an intercept of 8.2’(T) on an
    azimuth of 3240(T). find the position of the vessel at the time of 2nd observation. The
    second sight was worked from I.T.P run up.

    Q. 5 In DR 00° 00' 160° 00' W, the sextant altitude of the Moon's UL was 420 32’ at 12h
    40m 20s GMT on 10th October 1992. If H.E is 14.2m, I.E is 0.8' ON the arc,
    determine the direction of the PL and the longitude where it cuts the DR latitude.

    Q. 6 On 16 January 1992, PM, at ship in DR 35 ° 10'S 1270 45'E at GMT 11h 19m 10s,
    the sextant altitude of Star SIRIUS was 43° 24.1'.If the I.E. is 0.4' ON the arc and
    H.E was 15m, find the direction of the PL and the point through which it passes
    using Intercept method.

    Q. 7 a) While a ship steering 0400 (C), on 29th November 1992, in DR 28° 24'N 110°
    24’W, the Sun rose bearing 1100 (C). If the variation was 6.50 E, determine the
    Deviation of the Compass.
    b) June 1992 during morning twilight In DR 15° 43.6'N 1100 07.3' W when the
    GHA Aries was 76° 39.2' the true altitude of Polaris was 160 11.3'. Find the
    direction of the PL and position through which to draw it.
    Q. 8 On 2nd march 1992 in DR 320 12’S 1000 24’E, the sextant altitude of Venus east of
    meridian was 180 16.2’ at GMT 01d 22h 32m 58s. If HE was 10m and IE 1.3’ off
    the arc find the direction of PL and the position through which it passes.
