General Navigation USCG Question #1900 (Set 59)

You are on course 238°T. To check the course of your vessel you should observe a celestial body on which bearing?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option A — 328°

Course checks demand a line of position parallel to the intended track, requiring a celestial body observed at right angles (90° offset). Course 238°T plus 90° yields a bearing of 328°T.
