On 8 April your 0830 zone time DR position is LAT 22°49.0'N, LONG 84°37.0'W. Your vessel is on course 228° T at a speed of 19.0 knots. What is the zone time of local apparent noon (LAN)?

Correct Answer: Option C — 1144

Determining local apparent noon involves finding the Greenwich Hour Angle of the Sun at LAN (zero) and applying the vessel's estimated longitude at noon, adjusted by the equation of time and zone description, resulting in zone time 1144.
