359a: Your current location is midway between Buoys "37" and "38" at the North entrance of York Split Channel. You are turning for 9 knots, a westerly wind is causing 3ø of leeway, and the current is 320ø T at 1.2 knots. What course should you steer to remain in the northern leg of York Spit Channel? 15110a: From your 1752 position, you steer 180ø psc at 9 knots. At 1805, you obtain the visual bearings. What are the latitude and longitude of your 1805 position? Old Pt. Comfort Light 242ø psc. Chesapeake Bay Tunnel North Light 140ø psc. 15117: At 1930, you take a fix using the following radar ranges: York Spit Light - 3.6 miles; New Point Comfort Spit Light "2" - 2.0 miles; York Spit Swash Channel Light "3" - 2.5 miles. Your longitude is _____________. 15310: Which chart could you use for greater detail of the area at the south end of York Spit Channel?
    Y A: 12222
    N B: 12224
    N C: 12226
    N D: 12254
15407a: At 1430, your position is LAT 37ø12.8' N, LONG 76ø17.7' W. At this time, you come left and steer 057ø psc. This course will lead you through a channel bordered by yellow buoys. The dashed magenta lines between the buoys mark ___________.
    N A: York River Entrance Channel
    N B: New Point Comfort shoal area
    N C: the piloting channel for Mobjack Bay

15414a: At 2100, you have passed through the Chesapeake Bay Bridge and Tunnel and determine your position to be LAT 37ø01.3' N, LONG 76ø03.0' W. The current is flooding in a direction of 303ø T at 2.5 knots. Adjusting your course for set and drift, which course would you steer while turning RPMs for 6 knots to make good a course of 175ø T?
    Y A: 164ø psc
    N B: 172ø psc
    N C: 191ø psc
    N D: 198ø psc
15439-15440a: You arrive at Chesapeake Bay Entrance Buoy "CB" at the entrance to the inbound lane of the traffic separation scheme at 2058. Your ETA at Chesapeake Bay Bridge and Tunnel between trestles B + C is 2300. If your engine speed is 9.8 knots, what will be your approximate speed over the ground, at that time, allowing for the predicted current?
    N A: 7.0 knots
    N B: 8.2 knots
    N C: 11.4 knots
    Y D: 12.7 knots
15459a: At 0823, while holding a true course of North, Old Point Comfort Light bears 012ø psc at 0.6 mile. What is your 0823 position?
    Y A: LAT 36ø59.5' N, LONG 76ø18.4' W
    N B: LAT 36ø59.0' N, LONG 76ø21.6' W
    N C: LAT 36ø59.0' N, LONG 76ø19.6' W
    N D: LAT 36ø55.5' N, LONG 76ø18.6' W
15612: At 1920, Cape Henry Light bears 225ø pgc, and Chesapeake Channel Tunnel North Light bears 288ø pgc. If your heading is 268ø T, what is the relative bearing of Chesapeake Light? (assume dev = 0 ??)
    N A: 194ø
    N B: 205ø
    Y C: 213ø
    N D: 220ø
15161a: From your 1815 position (37ø 01.1', 75ø 42.7'), you want to make good course 275ø psc. Your engines are turning RPMs for 12 knots. The current is 050ø T at 1.9 knots. Adjusting your course for set and drift, at what time should you expect to enter the red sector of Cape Henry Light?
    N A: 1851
    N B: 1857
    Y C: 1904
    N D: 1911
