RUNNING FIX

Running Fix: a fix using one bearing. doesn’t matter how far the course line is from the bearing object.

1) Plot course line; label with bearing above and Speed below.

2) Take first bering; label with time over True bearing.

3) Proceed on course for a length of Time.

4) Take second bearing; label with Time over True bearing.

5) Determin DR at time of second bearing (see Speed/Distance/Time page) Speed=given, Time=difference from first bearing, solve for Distance and measure from last fix [Distance = Speed x Time / 60min] Label with half circle, Time and "DR"

6) Advance first bearing line parallel through DR.

7) FIX = point where advanced first bearing intersects second bearing. Label with circle, Time and "R FIX".
