1)what is LAT,LMT, what is equation of time and its max value, lot of cross questions
2)how do u make a gyro north seeking, what is path traced by a free gyro, lot of cross questions.
3)tss: cbd vsl on port side, whose responsibality and as per which rule.
4)same situation with ram, fishing vsl and nuc.
5) R V , who is responsible (if u say both then he will ask where it is written)
6)RV situation app shanghai pilot station a vsl frm stbd quarter, action as per rule
( dont answer increase speed ,he considers it as a last method).
7)why winds blow in circular path in eye of TRS.

1. What is precision?
2. How can u make Gyro North seeking?
3. What is Damping in azimuth?
4. What are the various forces acting during Damping?
5. What are Centrifugal n centripetal forces with relation to earth's rotation?
He meant Cyclostropic and coriolis forces..
6. What is presission of equinox?
7. ROR situations simple ones...
8. HP n LP areas?
Q. RULE 9 SAYS "IN ANY CONDITION OF VISIBILITY"...AND SIGNAL FOR OVERTAKING AS PER RULE 34.RV IS ALSO A STATE
OF VISIBILITY THEN WHEN OVERTAKING IN NARROW CHANNEL IN RV IS IT NOT SAFER TO FOLLOW 34C i....ELSE WAT IS
THE SIGNAL FOR OVERTAKING IN NARROW CHANEL IN RV
ans=34c - please note that 34c applies when vessels are in sight of one another, so you CANNOT sound signals as per 34
in RV, period!!
My understanding of this situation is that nowhere in the rules are any signals prescribed for overtaking in RV, so there
ARE no signals in RV!!

what all information will u include in the passage plan document? ( not on charts)
Detailed info on LRIT
how is gyro made north seeking
ballistic deflection & schuler tuning

1. EQUITIONAL PRECESSION AND ITS EFFECT?
2. LOCAL APPARENT TIME?
3. 1-ROR SITUATION AND SEVERAL CROSS QUESTION IN RV?
4. LRIT?

1. Horizontal sextant angle 90 degrees, draw position circle.

2. Horizontal sextant angle 180 degrees, draw position circle.
3. How to make Gyro North seeking?
4. Difference between Cyclostropic and Geostropic force.
5. Situation..normal vivibility, RV..rule 19
6. Precession of equinoxes.
7. Tide calculations for standard port..types of tidal graphs.
8. Functioning of DGPS.

1.voyage planning
2.trs avoiding action
3.gmt and related question about sun
4.RA
5.one situation
1) What actions will you take to incorporate RV in passage plan.
2) Draw lights of aground Fishing vessel,Sailing vessel,NUC,RAM
3) Situations :
a) vsl @ sea ...... one overtaking vessel on stbd qtr dist 0.8 NM, another vessel on port BOW (distance 7 NM) ROC exist
take action.
b) target vessel on port bow......RV....... take action.
4) Tide calculations for secondary port.
What informations you will look for in the passage plan from Chief officers point on view.
anti-piracy measures, loadline zones, ballast water exchange, MARPOL discharge requirements, drafts at ports, arrival dep of
critical areas / points like TSS, piracy zones (to compensate for rest hours), also the max allowable draft at the next port,
loadline zone, ukc, density, FW & fuel, PMS (depends wx & length of VOY), ventilation,, Density of waterArr/Dep
Drafts Loadline ZonesBallast Water Exchange Req. specially Load line zones
Why Variation of a place keep on changing every year?
the magnetic poles of the earth are keep on changing. therefore the magnetic meridians are keep on changing also .
therefore the variation also keep on changing.
What is datum and how will you find out the datum? How to apply wind while calculating datum?
Datum is the most probable position of the casualty taking into account its initial casualty position, leeway and set and drift
of current.
Course, speed & Lat error in gyro.
TRS
WHAT IS HARMONIC CONSTANT.
O1, K1, M2, S2 in the tidal calculation by the harmonic method are the harmonic constant. its constant for a port. the
constant is based on a measurement by say a stick or something, whose actual depth is known. then the height of tide is
calculated according to that height.
what are the contents of passage plan?
SITUATION - simple crossing situation of 2 vessels.
Attempt FUNC 1 & 3Passed in 3
What is precession of equinoxes.
Does SHA of a star decreases or increases then Why
What is LAT,LMT what is the relations
If u have one bearing say 90 and declinations given can u calculate LATITUDE and IF
Possible then HOW
Then he screwd me in GYRO (I Swear even he fail me i cant learn GYRO)
What is free Gyroscope
How to make gyro north seek
How to trace the path in gyro (I told him Sir my gyro theory is very weak He
replied why very difficult to understand I told him sir very very difficult)
Wat is W/0 point
Wat is ROT How to plot it if radius is given. How to draw the ARC
How to calculate STD Port tide calculations
Wat is the DIff between ATT VOL 1 and others VOL
Only one question FRom ROR
RV own vessel narrow one vessel want to overtake u 0.5 CPA(HIS FAMOUS QUES)
(HE TOLD ME THE CORRECT ANSWER ACCORDING TO HIM ALTER COURSE
TO PORT AND GO IN PARALLEL COURSE TILL U OR SHE BE WELL CLEAR)

Daily change of SHA of sun given in almanac
Precesion of equinoxes in very much detail ( better to ask the Earth & Sun itself for its reason)
