On 24 January your 0700 zone time DR position is LAT 22°25.0'N, LONG 46°10.0'W. Your vessel is on course 110°T at a speed of 12.0 knots. What is the zone time of local apparent noon (LAN)?

Correct Answer: Option B — 1212

Local Apparent Noon (LAN) is determined by computing the exact Greenwich Mean Time of the sun's meridian passage using the Nautical Almanac, then applying the vessel's longitude converted to time units and adjusted for the applicable zone description.
