i didn't answer muc so he din go further, then he and vaz had
discussion, then came the vaz question:-
"what is the ambient temperature and pressure for radar horizon"
i gave the best possible blank expression:)
finally, unexpectedly but quite comfortably managed to fail all three
functions:)
well it was jus one of those days.
the ambience temp and pressure as given in subra's shipbourne
radar book is temp 15 deg celcius and pressure 1013.8 mb.
this surveyor comes rarely, so dont bother muc with these
questions, all the very best:)

fn I
1. he carries a charts with all cardinal, lateral, safe water, preferred
channel, special marks buoys in it. he asked to take the ship and
explain each buoy along the route.
2. he had PPI on relative motion display and rel. vectors drawn on a
paper with targets on it and asked to report each target.
3. he showed another paper with true motion true vector display
and asked how will determine risk of collision, without changing
display or vector. i replied by increasing the vector time, then if the
vectors meet at same time then there is risk of collision.
4. he showed another paper, two ships A and B. B is overtaking A
from starboard side, at a unsafely close distance, then the ships
come closer and after overtaking A, B swings to port and there is
collision. he asked what has happ and discuss violation of rules in
this case. ans: due to interaction the ships hav come closer when
their parallel middle bodies overlapped and later due to +ve
pressure built up at bow of A and stern of B, the repulsion has
caused B to swing to port. B violated rule 13 and A rule 2.
5. he showed me a chart and asked to make passage plan in it in
clear visibility and asked ROT formula and how the factor F is
determined.
6. the same chart in rest. vis he wanted me to discuss BTM.
7. if u are overtaking a TRS, what r the aspects involved?
determination dang. semicircle, then he showed a paper with the
track of a TRS(WNW) marked on it over 3 days, ur vessel is located
north and well clear of the storm field, he asked what CTS and wich
sector to be avoided. Ans: avoid sector from south to east clockwise
and make a reciprocal heading to that of track of the storm(ESE).
8. showed a weather map, with the movement of warm and cold
fronts marked and wanted to explain everything on it.(failing

tidal streams
DIFF. BETWEEN TIDAL STREAM AND TIDAL ATLAS?
See the above answer. You can also figure it out based on the tides
for a port.
Eg: If Mumbai LW was 0800, you can assume that at 0900 water
would be rushing into Mumbai port, hence the tidal stream will flow
towards the port from sea.
