Description: From the author:
As a starter, under ‘TEST YOURSELF SERIES’ , I have tried to venture in to the field of ‘TERRESTRIAL & CELESTIAL NAVIGATION’ (TCN) Subject of Chief Mate (F.G.) Level, notoriously considered by some to be the ‘Most Difficult Paper to Crack’ among all Subjects from Master (F.G.) down to Second Mate (F.G.) levels !
Variety of Questions, covering virtually all topics of the Subject, which have appeared in the Past DGS Examinations Papers and some my own, have been solved and ANSWERS given, so that you can check your own Competence in the subject of NAVIGATION.
Please disregard the previous three editions of the same Series.
A Word-of-Caution : Since I have solved CHARTWORK Questions on the Original Charts, your own Answers may differ somewhat from my own, particularly if you solve these Questions on the Photostatted Copies of Charts !
In spite of Corrections/Amendments made through three previous editions, should you still find any errors in my answers, kindly let me know. I will surely make changes after re-checking of the same.
Wishing you all success in your Competency Examinations & have Safe Sailings.
Additional info: About the Author:
This small ‘Effort’ of mine, for the benefit of Mariners & at NO-COST to them, is dedicated to my Guruji Capt. S.S.S. Rewari, an epitome of Maritime Education & Training in India, and under whose Guidance & Encouragement, I reached this humble level of teaching the intricacies of CELESTIAL, Terrestrial & Oceanic NAVIGATION Subject, to our budding Navigators in the Merchant Navy.
I have been teaching these & other Subjects to Marine Officers, in D.G.S. Approved Post-Sea Maritime Training Institutes, for the past 30 years, from the levels of second-Mates up to MASTER (Foreign Going) & beyond levels, right up to Revalidation Courses, when Officers are preparing for their COMPETENCY Examinations held by the Directorate General of Shipping, GOI and for Updating their Licenses.
Earlier, I had sailed for 23 years (14 years as Master) on Foreign Going ships under the Management of ANGLO EASTERN , UNIVAN & WALLEM.
