4

When a vessel changes course from one cardinal heading to another cardinal heading while adjusting the compass,which action should be taken ________.

  • A.The course change should be made rapidly to prevent transient induced magnetism while passing the intercardinal headings
  • B.After the new heading is reached,the vessel should steam on that course for at least two minutes before the adjustment
  • C.During the course change,you should gently tap the compass to remove any error caused by friction on the pivot bearing
  • D.After steadying on the new heading,the compass card should be slewed by a magnet and allowed to oscillate freely to remove any gaussin error
5

When crossing the magnetic equator the ______.

  • A.Flinders bar should be inverted
  • B.Heeling magnet should be inverted
  • C.The quadrantal spheres should be rotated 180°

8

The most accurate method of determining gyrocompass error while underway is by ______.

  • B.Comparing the gyro heading with the magnetic compass heading
  • C.Determining from the chart the course made good between celestial fixes
  • D.It cannot be determined accurately at sea due to drift of unknown currents
10

  • B.subpermanent magnetism
  • C.induced magnetism
  • D.variable magnetism
12

The Flinders bar and the quadrantal spheres should be tested for permanent magnetism at what interval ________.

  • C.Annually
  • D.Every five years
14

  • B.The generated TCPA will be later than the actual TCPA
  • C.The range of initial target acquisition will be less than normal
  • D.The targets true course vector will be in error
20

Your ARPA has been tracking a target and has generated the targets course and speed.The radar did not receive a target echo on its last two scans due to the weather.What should you expect under these circumstances ________.

  • A.The ARPA will generate data as if the target was still being tracked by radar
  • B.The ARPA will give an audible and/or visual lost target alarm
  • C.The ARPA will generate data based on sea return echoes from the vicinity where the target was lost
