- Read and write a position in degrees and decimal minutes, then use the correct chart border to transfer each coordinate without confusing angular position with distance.
- Distinguish a bearing, course, heading and track, label their north reference, and recognise when a reciprocal direction is needed.
- Choose the correct speed-distance-time relationship, convert minutes to hours, and turn the answer into a usable arrival or monitoring decision.
