  1. Lesson 8: Dead Reckoning 4/2/2014

  2. Lesson 7: Dead Reckoning • AGENDA: • Definition of Dead Reckoning • Six Rules of Dead Reckoning • Define/Apply the 3 min & 6 min Rules • Applicable reading: Hobbs pg. 134-138.

  3. Dead Reckoning DR is the process of determining a ship’s approximateposition by applying, from a known position, a vector or a series of consecutive vectors representing the true courses steered and the distance run as determined by the ship’s speed and time,without considering the effects of wind and current.

  4. Dead Reckoning • DR is derived from DEDUCED, or DED, reckoning which was the process by which a vessel’s position was computed trigonometrically in relation to a known point of departure. • This is performed as often as required by the 6 rules of DR • Uses: • Determine present position • Project future positions relative to hazards • Measure the effects of current (winds, seas) • Alter course to account the effects of current

  5. Six Rules of DR

  12. Speed-Time-Distance Calculations • STD calculations can be made using a nautical slide rule, electronic calculator, set of pre-computed tables, or speed nomogram. D = S x T where: D = distance traveled S = speed in knots T = time in hours

  13. Three Minute Rule • In 3 minutes a vessel travels in yards a distance 100 times its speed in knots. D = S x 100 where: D = distance traveled (yds) S = speed in knots

  14. Six Minute Rule • In 6 minutes a vessel travels in miles a distance equal to its speed in knots divided by 10. D = S / 10 where: D = distance traveled (nm) S = speed in knots
