Question 1881Navigation General

The correct answer is D) 150°T. When observing the Sun for a speed check, the azimuth should be the same as the course you are steering, which in this case is 150°T. This allows you to observe the Sun directly ahead of the vessel, which is the optimal position for a speed check using celestial navigation techniques. The other options are incorrect because they do not match the course being steered. For example, 090°T would be off to the side, 240°T would be astern, and 060°T would be off to the side in the opposite direction.
