Course Alterations
Overview
Manual Radar Plotting can be used to determine what change in course is required to result in passing another vessel at a safe distance.
This advanced plotting technique involves determining a new CPA and TCPA after applying a course alteration to your own vessel.
Where This Applies
Learning how to complete a manual radar plot is an essential part of any maritime training, whether you are learning to navigate a supertanker or a sailing yacht. Knowing how the electronic equipment performs its calculations is vital so that you can understand its limitations.
