What is the time in rate (TIR) requirement, in months, from E3 to E 4? - ✔✔ 6 months Nautical Charts? - ✔✔A nautical chart is a map designed for navigators that provides an illustration of a body of navigable water, along with the topographic features of adjacent land. To help the navigator transit the body of water safely, the chart contains standardized symbols, figures, and abbreviations that supply data on water depth, the character of the bottom and the shore, the location of navigational aids, and other useful information. Four primary areas of navigation - ✔✔piloting, dead reckoning, celestial navigation, and radio navigation. What is Piloting? - ✔✔the movement of a vessel with continuous reference to landmarks, aids to navigation, depth sounding, and radio navigation. Dead Reckoning? - ✔✔Dead reckoning (DR) is projecting an intended course and speed from a known point, or fix. Celestial Navigation? - ✔✔Celestial navigation is the practice of observing celestial bodies (the Sun, Moon, stars, and planets) to determine the ship's position measurements are taken of the height above the horizon of a celestial body. Radio Navigation? - ✔✔determining position by use of radio waves interacting with reference points (transmitters) such as certain buoys. What area of navigation involves projecting an intended course and speed from a known point, or fix? - ✔✔Dead reckoning What area of navigation involves the movement of a vessel with continuous reference to landmarks, aids to navigation, depth sounding, and radio navigation? - ✔✔Piloting What is known as the orientation of a line drawn or imagined joining two positions without any regard to the distance between them? - ✔✔Direction
