Chart Navigation & Plotting · ETA
Departing a waypoint at 0600 with 150 NM to run at a planned 15 knots, your ETA at the destination is:
- A1400
- B1500
- C1600✓ Correct
- D1700
Explanation
Time to run = 150 / 15 = 10 hours. 0600 + 10:00 = 1600. ETA computations like this drive fuel planning, tidal-window timing, and pilot/berth bookings.
