I am prepping to sit for the exam. I know how to work out 1)ETA’s 2) Swing Ship 3) Chron- Error/ time tick 4) Azimuth 5) Amplitude 6) Sunset & Sunrise 7) Maneuvering board/ set drift/ abeam course 8) Fuel conservation 9) slip/ speed of advance questions…what am I missing or will I get multiples of one of these??

Ah yes, Compass error by terrestrial bearing…thanks. I think You are right. I was informed there would be no 10 point tide questions but 4-5 of them on Navigation General. I hope that’s true. Tides are tougher than azimuths to me!

I didn’t have any tides on my T nav exam, but you should be over prepared for them, just like everything else.

Good luck man.

Thanks…I forced myself to sit down and figure them out today…I think I can handle them if there is one now.
