Question

On 25 June your 0900 zone time DR position is LAT 24&deg;10.0'S, LONG 148&deg;30.0'W. Your vessel is on a course of 230&deg;T at a speed of 18.0 knots. What is the zone time of local apparent noon (LAN)?

Accepted Answer

Option C: 1200. Local apparent noon occurs when the sun transits the observer's meridian. Factoring the vessel's run on course 230°T at 18 knots from the 0900 DR position, LAN calculates to exactly 1200 zone time.
