The document provides instructions for a navigation activity involving plotting radar contacts. It states that the student's ship is traveling at 7 knots on a course of 020 degrees. It provides the bearing and range of a contact at two points in time. Students are asked to calculate the contact's course, speed, original closest point of approach (CPA), and how a change in the student's course to 060 degrees would affect the new CPA and time. The document also assigns students to print a chart for plotting ship positions based on ranges or ranges and bearings.

NAVIGATION 5 2M ALPHERD G. ACEBEROS Faculty in charge Activity 1 – Radar Plotting Direction: print radar transfer plotting sheet, use pencil and compass divider for your plotting.
Your ship is on course 020°. Speed is 7.0 knots. You note the following radar contact:
At 0700 the contact bears 090° at a range of 10.0 miles. At 0715 the same contact bears 090° at a range of 8.0 miles.
• What will be the CPA?
• What is the contact's true course? • What is the contact's true speed? • At 0730, you decide to change course to 060°. • What will be the new CPA? • What will be the time of the new CPA? Assignment: Direction: You can print a chart or draw a chart for plotting 1. Plot ship’s fix position by ranges 2. Plot ship’s fix position by range and bearing of an object
