Explain first point of Aries.
On 5th March 1992, the sextant altitude of Sun's L.L. was 55°30'. Find the true altitude of the Sun, if index error of the sextant was off the area and height of eye was 13 m.
On 4th May 1992, in position 400 30'N 064°30'E, the rising Sun bore 070°C. If variation was find the deviation ofthe compass.
At 0600 hrs, Great Basses Reef Lt Ho had a vertical sextant angle of and a bearing of 320°T. Find the ship's position.
From 0600 hrs position, find true course to steer to pass Weligama Lt Ho 20 miles away counteracting a current setting 310°T at 3 knots.
