Transcribed Image Text:Description: Tasks for navigation
Task number: A1.1
Topic: Celestial Navigation
Acti :Work out a sight using meridian altitude of sun.
Minimum number of times that activity should be performed: 4 (2 each phase)
Sample calculation: (Latitude by meridian altitude- Sun)
On 4th April 1998, in DR position 35°10'N 148°18'E, the sextant meridian altitude of the Sun's lower
limb was 60°10.3'. If IE was 2.2' off the arc, and HE was 12 meters, find the latitude and the position
line.
Sext alt:

Dec:
05° 33.9' N
MZD:
29° 38.2' N
Lat:
35° 12.1' N
PL: E-W
If MZD and Dec are of same name- add and retain name. If they are of opposite names, subtract the
smaller one from the larger one and retain the name of the larger one.
