General Navigation USCG Question #2258 (Set 69)

You are on course 222°T and take a relative bearing of a lighthouse of 025°. What is the true bearing to the lighthouse?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option D — 247°

True bearing is calculated using the standard navigational formula: True Bearing equals True Course plus Relative Bearing (TB = TC + RB). Adding 222° and 025° yields 247°T, per Bowditch dead reckoning and piloting standards.
