  1. On 31st Aug 1992, PM at ship in DR 100 11’S 0000 00’, the Sextant altitude of the Sun’s LL was 390 15’ when the chron (error 01m 30s fast) showed 03h 11m 20s. If IE was 2.5’ on the arc and HE was 17m, find the direction of the PL and a position through which to draw it.
Solution –
ques 1 -1
ques 1 -2
  1. On 30th April 1992, in DR 000 20’N 600 12’W, the sextant altitude of Sun’s UL East of the meridian was 4404’ when chron (error 03m 09s slow) showed 00h 57m 43s. If IE was 3.1’ off the arc and HE was 20m, find the direction of the PL and the longitude where it crosses the DR lat.
