Your 0900 DR position is LAT 23°16'N, LONG 146°12'E. Your vessel is on a course of 286°T, at a speed of 14.5 knots. Determine the zone time of LAN on 14 March.

Question

Your 0900 DR position is LAT 23&deg;16'N, LONG 146&deg;12'E. Your vessel is on a course of 286&deg;T, at a speed of 14.5 knots. Determine the zone time of LAN on 14 March.

Accepted Answer

Option D: 1228. Compute LAN by referencing the Nautical Almanac for the equation of time on the given date. Adjust for the vessel's longitude relative to the standard time zone meridian and correct for the ship's run from the initial DR time.
