Question 1523Navigation General

The correct answer is A) 079°. The reason this is the correct answer is that the best fix would be obtained by taking a bearing that is perpendicular (at a right angle) to the first bearing of 176°. This is because the intersection of two bearings at a 90-degree angle provides the most accurate position fix. A bearing of 079° would be perpendicular to 176°, creating a 90-degree angle and the best fix. The other options are incorrect because: B) 151° is not perpendicular to 176°, C) 176° is the same as the first bearing and would not provide a fix, and D) 292° is not perpendicular to 176°.
