Question 1804Navigation General

The correct answer is C) fix. A fix is a position obtained by using two or more intersecting lines of position taken at nearly the same time. This is the most accurate position determination method, as the intersection of the lines of position provides a precise location. The other options are incorrect: A) Dead-reckoning position is a position determined by advancing a previous position using course, speed, and time, without using celestial observations or electronic fixes. B) Estimated position is a position approximated based on the latest fix, course, speed, and elapsed time, but without the precision of a fix. D) A running fix is a position determined by advancing a previous line of position, using course, speed, and time, to obtain a new line of position that intersects the first line.
