Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1920 Excerpt: ...is the same as the latitude of the point on the line A', R/J 25 19'.4 S. B115 31.5 W. We now have two Sumner linee, A'and B', under Case I, whose common latitude is 25 19MS., and whose longitudes on the common parallel are 114 61K.7 and 115 31'.5. Hence, the difference of longitude on the common parallel is 115 31'.5 W. 114 59'.7 W. CHAPTER XVI. THE PEAOTIOE 01 NAVIGATION AT SEA. 381. Having set forth in previous chapters the methods of working dead reckoning and of solving problems to find the latitude, longitude, chronometer correction, and azimuth from astronomical observations, it will be the aim of the present chapter to describe the conditions which govern the choice and employment of the various problems, together with certain considerations by which the navigator may be guided in his practical work at sea. 382. Departure And Dead Reckoning.--On beginning a voyage, a good departure must, be taken while landmarks are still in view and favorably located for the purpose; this becomes the origin of the dead reckoning, which, with frequent new departures from positions by observation, is kept up to the completion of the voyage, thus enabling the mariner to know, with a fair degree of accuracy, the position of his vessel at any instant. At the moment of taking the departure, the reading of the patent log (which should have been put over at least long enough previously to be regularly running) must be recorded, and thereafter at the time of taking each sight and at every other time when a position is required for any purpose, the log reading must also be noted. It is likewise well to read the log each hour; for general information as to the speed of the vessel as well as to observe that it is in proper running order and that the rotator has not been fouled ... |

gmdss a user's handbook: Pub 1310 , 2001 The 2001 edition of Pub. 1310 Radar Navigation and Maneuvering Board Manual combines selected chapters from the sixth edition of Pub. 1310, Radar Navigation Manual, and the fourth edition of Pub. 217, Maneuvering Board Manual.This manual has been compiled by the editorial staff of the Maritime Safety Information Center at the National Imagery and Mapping Agency. It is intended to be used primarily as a manual of instruction in navigation schools and by naval and merchant marine personnel. By combining the previous editions of Pub. 1310 and Pub. 217 into one book we hope that we have provided a practical reference for mariners on board ship and instructors ashore. It is also intended to be of assistance to others who are concerned with marine radar in different and less direct ways.In combining the two manuals, every effort has been made to retain the original style and format which has proven to be clear and helpful to the maritime community. Most of the illustrations and examples have been carried forward into this edition.The chapter on ARPA has been expanded and now includes a sample operating manual for a modern commercial radar and ARPA. Many excellent other publications on ARPA are available and should be consulted for a more thorough understanding on this subject matter.Users should refer corrections, additions, and comments for improving this product to:MARITIME SAFETY INFORMATION CENTERNATIONAL IMAGERY AND MAPPING AGENCYST D 444600 SANGAMORE ROADBETHESDA MD 20816-5003 |
gmdss a user's handbook: Pass Your GROL General Radiotelephone Operator License Test - The Easy Way Craig Buck K4ia, 2019-04-24 Pass Your GROL License Test builds on the successful Easy Way series of Amateur Radio license manuals.Other commercial radio license study books take you through the questions and all possible answers on the multiple choice test. The problem with that approach is that you must read three wrong answers for every one right answer. That's 432 wrong answers and 144 right answers for GROL Element 1 and 1,800 wrong answers and 600 right answers for Element 3. Why study 2,232 wrong answers? There is nothing to learn there. The unique Easy Way approach has four elements. First, you never see wrong answers so you should recognize the right answer on the test. The wrong answers will look strange and unfamiliar. Second, the text explains the answers using plain English. Third, a summary at the end of each Subelement contains a bullet version of the questions or concepts to reinforce your memory.Fourth, many of the questions and answers are long-winded and involved. They are full of unnecessary information that can confuse you. Sometimes, all you need do is tie two words together to recognize the answer. Often, the question contains a clue to the correct answer. Hints and cheats help you decipher the question and reveal the hidden answer. It couldn't be easier. |

gmdss a user's handbook: GMDSS for Navigators John Seaton, Peter Smith, 2013-10-11 The Global Maritime distress and Safety System (GMDSS) is becoming the all-embracing term for communication and data transfer between ship and shore, and ship and ship. It's a highly automated system of terrestrial satellite communications technology whose primary role is to maintain safety of life at sea. Within the next five years all vessels over 300 tonnes will be required to carry GMDSS equipment. The seafaring nations of the world have together established the rules and regulations for good working practices within the system, and every serving and future navigating officer will be required to hold the GMDSS General Operator's Certificate. GMDSS for Navigators brings together in one publication the knowledge required by anyone who wants to become a qualified and competent operator of GMDSS communications equipment. It should prove to be the accepted universal reference for GMDSS training. |
