    The document provides instructions and formulas for radar plotting techniques. It explains how to calculate time to closest point of approach, distance and direction of a target's movement, target course and speed, and tidal effects like drift and rate using radar plot data. It also warns to check if using relative or true compass bearings and illustrates the basics of a single target radar plot including own ship details and target motion calculations.

    Radar plotting tips, radar plotting made easy


     

    Radar Plotting Formulas

    Time to C.P.A. = “m" to C.P.A. x Plotting Interval


    Distance “r" to “m"

    “e" to “r" = Own ships speed x Plotting interval


    60

    Target Course = “e" through Centre of “m"

    Target speed = Distance from “e" to “m" x 60


    Minutes from “r" to “m"

    Tidal problems using Radar

    Drift = Distance from “m" to “e"

    Set = Direction from “m" to “e"

    Rate of Tide = Distance from “m" to “e" x 60


    Minutes from “r" to m"

    BASIC RADAR PLOT

    Warning ! ! !
    • Watch to see if you are using Relative
    or True Compass Bearings.
    • Using a relative bearing is how you
    would take a compass bearing of
    another vessel.
