Question

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

Accepted Answer

Option A: 1144. Calculate Local Apparent Noon (LAN) by applying the equation of time and longitude correction (in time units) to Greenwich Apparent Noon. Account for vessel's course and speed running dead reckoning increments per Bowditch piloting principles to determine zone time 1144.
