Course 0 - 2014-15 Opening RN

The document outlines the course structure and objectives for a Radar Navigation and ARPA course. The course is split into two semesters, with the first focusing on radar plotting and the second on using ARPA information. Practical application during labs and simulations accounts for 100% of the grade. Students must practice radar plotting problems individually to achieve the necessary skills for the exams. Vectors, triangles, and time-speed-distance calculations are perpetual elements and among the most difficult concepts in radar navigation.

equipments mounted
The most used equipment by de OOW during
the sea watch

of the RN course and Exams

ATTENTION !
Without individual training you will not
be able to achieve the necessary level
of practice in order to pass the 1st
semester Exam.
Deferred RN examinations may be
equivalated with the IMO assessment
