You are on course 344°T and take a relative bearing of a lighthouse of 270°. What is the true bearing to the lighthouse?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option C — 254°
True bearing is calculated by adding the true course and relative bearing (TC + RB = TB). For course 344°T and relative bearing 270°, the sum is 614°. Subtracting 360° yields a true bearing of 254°T.
