General Navigation USCG Question #1797 (Set 56)

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°

Adding the true course (344°) and relative bearing (270°) equals 614°T. Subtracting 360° to normalize the angle within a 360-degree circle results in a true bearing of 254°T, per standard navigational reduction procedures outlined in Bowditch.
