4- RoR cards ( 25-30) lots of cross ques.actually he was playing wid
cards. Some times he adds one light or deletes it or combines 2 cards.
5- rv situation (2-3 rv situation ,capt Sinha likes to alter co. Than
reducing speed , rule no. 19D, 19E must b clearly understood).

1) Draw Currents for north Atlantic region and state weather associated
with it.
2) How will you include it in your passage plan.
3) Information regarding ice, where will you find it ? , how will you
avoid it.
4) lateral , cardinal, isolated, safe water bouy top marks , night
signal.
5) he will give you vl course and cardinal bouys right ahead, action???
6) PD vl with a CBD overtaking on stbd quarter who shall keep clear?as
per which rule?
Further PD vl has an stbd alteration to make? action? whos
responsibility?
state rule no.? 13a, 18d & 17a.

overtaking?? and
why?
8) VLCC right ahead target at 1 mile ACTION?? he wants to hear about role
of pivot
point, how vessel will respond accordingly ???
9) Rule 13? What does rule 19 say about overtaking?? 19d.

14) Causes of Gyro Failure ? Action in case of gyro failure?

15)Passage 4 elements? What is difference between execution and
monitoring??
16) Methods of taking star sight? Which is the best method?
17) Enumerate star calculation? How will you ascertain which stars are
best for sight?
To make a list of stars and planets available for observation at morning
or evening twilight for a fix, you would setup the starfinder with the
LHA (Aries) and have the planets plotted. Then use the following guide
lines for selection of bodies:
1. Altitude 10 to 65
2. 1st magnitude
3. Bearing 120 apart
4. Always try to get Polaris, it gives you a latitude line of position if
you are in the northern hemisphere, and any body who has a bearing of
000 - 180 will do the same thing.
5. To check your course, select bodies with bearings perpendicular to
your course.
6. To check your speed, select bodies that are parallel to your course.
In working these Coast Guard exam problems, some groups can be eliminated
if one of the bodies in the group is below the horizon for that
observer's DR position and time of star time.

18) What are different twilights and which twilight will you consider
best for the stars selected?why?
Further he asked me couple of more ROR situations , which were mostly
based on RV.
19) Limitations of ECDIS? Why ther is training rquired for ECDIS?
20) TRS? Dangerous semicircle? Dangerous Quadrant? Action in NH?
21) What is veering and backing of wind?

1.How to take star sight?how to use star finder?

Consisting of a Star Chart (Northern and Southern Hemispheres) and eight
transparent templates. (Latitudes 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 75 degrees).
The Star Chart shows the 57 stars tabulated in the Nautical Almanac. To
use you first find the LHA of Aries, select the plate nearest your
Latitude, align an arrow on the template with the LHA of Aries. From the
template you can then read off the approximate altitude and azimuth of
any selected star, or identify a star for which the altitude or azimuth
is known.

2.What precautions are required when navigating in north atlantic ocean?

3.What is ice patrol?Which solas requirement talk about it - Chp 5 reg 6.
4.What is gyro sphere?how current is passed in a gyroscope?
5.diff btw execution and monitoring.
6.rv u hear a fog signal fwd of beam,intensity increasing.what
action.both for port and stbd side.

trs synoptic explanation,gyro error,schuler tunning

Some more x ques.
(' - ')
1) North atlantic current ? draw on paper
2) what r the metrological change when labradore & Gulf streem meets
3) Ice what type of ice comes near ----- sea ice floe.
4) gyro error & what is the inter cardinal error? can u correct it on
board?
