E-learning module BASIC CONCEPTS OF NAVIGATION AND SAILING DIRECTIONS Target groups The e-learning module is designed for theoretical training of navigators at operational level in accordance with Chapter II of the STCW Convention in the part concerning of basic concepts of navigation. Deck - Operational Ship types Generic What is an e-learning module? E-learning module is the electronic textbook on one or more sections. Theoretical materials can be accompanied by drawings, diagrams, photos, animations and videos. There is a test for assessment of knowledge gained at the end of each section. Navigation and its role and place in ship’s operation: − The purpose and objectives of the discipline. − Place of navigation among other sciences of ship’s operation. Basic concepts of navigation and sailing directions: − Shape and models of the Earth. − Geographic coordinates: latitude, longitude. − Difference in latitude (D’LAT) and difference in longitude (D’LONG). − Sea direction counting systems. Use of gyrocompasses. − Terminology of nautical units of length and speed. Using lags. − Range of visibility of landmarks and lights.

E-learning module BASIC CONCEPTS OF NAVIGATION AND SAILING DIRECTIONS The azimuth circle of a magnetic compass, radio direction finders and some other technical means of navigation have heading angle scales calibrated in a circular count Heading angles measured in a circular account are called opposite relative bearing (ORB). If ORB is less than 180‘. then it is equal to starboard RB. If the ORB is greater than 180’, then to obtain the port RB, it is necessary to subtract the ORB from 360' RB(p) * 360' - ORB (12) The solution of this type of problem should be accompanied by a graphic...
