Module 19 - Electronic Navigation
Yachtmaster Offshore Standard
Electronic Navigation at Yachtmaster level is not just recall. The answer has to show command judgement, evidence quality, margin, and a fallback if the first plan stops being safe.
Scenario: GNSS, AIS, radar overlay, and depth contour evidence conflict during a night approach.
Examiner expectation: Diagnose sensor assumptions, choose independent cross-checks, and create sea room before trusting the route line.
Key points
- State the evidence you trust and the evidence you distrust.
- Name the margin that makes the plan defensible.
- Choose the first action that preserves safe options.
- Explain the contingency before the situation becomes forced.
