General Navigation USCG Question #2268 (Set 69)

While steering a course of 150°T, you wish to observe a body for a latitude check. What would the azimuth have to be?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option D — 000°T

Per Bowditch celestial navigation, latitude is most accurately checked by observing celestial bodies on the meridian (azimuth 000° or 180°T), where altitude equals co-latitude plus or minus declination.
