General Navigation USCG Question #1856 (Set 58)

You are on course 027°T and take a relative bearing to a lighthouse of 220°. What is the true bearing to the lighthouse?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option C — 247°

Applying Bowditch conversion rules, True Bearing equals True Course plus Relative Bearing (TB = TC + RB). Adding 027° and 220° equals 247°T, directly providing the true direction of the charted navigational aid.
