General Navigation USCG Question #1494 (Set 47)

You are on course 277°T and take a relative bearing of a lighthouse of 045°. What is the true bearing to the lighthouse?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option D — 322°

True bearing is calculated by adding the relative bearing to the true course: $277^{\circ}T + 045^{\circ} = 322^{\circ}T$. If the sum exceeds $360^{\circ}$, subtract $360^{\circ}$ to find the correct true bearing of the terrestrial landmark.
