Running Fix - Step by Step

This document outlines the steps to plot a running fix from bearings taken of a navigational mark: 1. Take the first bearing at 0900 hours and mark your DR position along that bearing line. 2. Plot your DR position at 1000 hours based on course and speed. 3. Apply set and drift correction to the 1000 hours DR position and mark the estimated position. 4. Draw the line of position for the second bearing taken at 1000 hours and transfer the 0900 hours bearing line to intersect the estimated position. 5. The running fix is the intersection of the transferred 0900 hours bearing line and the 1000 hours bearing line.
