DATE
SURVEYORSQUESTIONSFUNCTION
3-JULY-18DEVESH-2 situations only in narrow channel – bulb gets fused and which bulb to be used for masthead light (didn’t know at all !!) Occlusion -2– 3 buoys he asked – gyro not working in higher latitudes? -Cadet has to take merpas at 40degress latitude. What altitude to set on sextant ? – synoptic charts – ice charts – warm front – frontal depressionF1
11-SEPT-18DEVESHPast failing questions which were as follows: Inspires and INDSAR co-ordinates (so i draw the diagram and explained) and use of both and who is in charge of them? ROR cards 1 white it. Then just asked lights for towing vl, which vsl do not show anchor lights, Rule 7,10,15,16,17 explanation, overtaking & crossing RV Situations, Safe water mark buoy specification, A radar target seen on radar by disappeared before acquiring it what will you do?, Eco sounder errors, what is Pythagoras error and why does it occur? Position fixing methods, star sight, ECDIS correction procedure, Nautical publication correction procedure, what are the advantages of ECDIS over paper charts?F1
11-SEPT-18DEVESHHow composite GC sailing is carried out? (I explained him all by gnomonic chart and transferring) Asked how u can save d distance- comparing and adjusting meridians on rl track not satisfied? How to check visibility without any target in open sea i said by table in Norris table? Various ROR situations confused me in give way and stand on vessel? This failed me in dis functionF1

YYY is dangerous quadrant called dangerous In TSS steering fails & rough weather approaching, actionF1
6-MAR-19DEVESH– In case sailing on a full-fledged ECDIS ship, vessel intends to go to a port of Refuge and vessel does not have permit for those charts. Action? Chart Agent 24hrs service not responding? Contact Company and they are also not able to arrange charts? In those scenario what a ship can do , any backup available ? – Charts / ECDIS update procedure ? How is the ship getting update ? – IMO standards for 2 Bridge Equipments : Magnetic Compass & ALDIS Lamp. Also state the requirements as per SIRE as I am sailing on tankers. – Procedure of taking bearings / compass error directly from Magnetic Compass from monkey Island. – Details about Magnetic Compass & Aldis Lamp – POLAR CODE – Additional equipments required in higher latitudes – ROR situations specially regarding RV conditions – Use of Trial Manoeuvring for Anti Collision purpose – Synoptic Charts / Prognosis Charts – Signs of an approaching TRS – Stranding / Beaching – Currents and factors required for currents – How will you assist master in decision makingF1
9-JULY-19DEVESHAsked how is ROR – I said prepared well, you can ask Sir. Smiled and said offcourse I will and then didn’t asked any rule and cards 1. Normal situation – open sea head on and one vsl on port bow, action. Then same situation vsl on stbd bow 2. Magnetic and gyro higher lat 3. Equipments req at high lat 4. What is gnss compass 5. Both gps failed effect on Ecdis 6. Gyro fail effect on Ecdis 7. Polar Code requirement 8. Settling, steaming and damping errorF1
9-SEPT-19DEVESHSituations Wrt fishing traffic, Crossing, Action by stand on with fishing traffic, Polar code rqmts. for navigation, Ships routeing RV actions, Synoptic and prognostic charts, Rv radar not picking targets what will you do, TSS how do you navigate , As a mate what is required. From you for coastal navigation, Mate voyage planning.F1

6-NOV-20DEVESHGyro principal. Gyro error. How to correct gyro error. Gyro fail action. Which all equipment affect if gyro fail? What will happen in radar due to gyro fail? How u will get target info. In gyro fail how will u steer ur vsl? Why trs is not forming near  equator? Weather routing, 6,7simple situation of clr visibility. Open sea you nd lookout person on bridge ..suddenly lookout person  get unconscious action ? If u answer you will go and chk thn he asked … U will  chk thn who will keep watch…  Tss one vsl is coming behind u. Dist 1.5 miles  ..ur engine fail action labrador current and gulf stream  almost at similar latidue why one is cild where as other is warm current.? Est of africa  which all current …. Name Origin of labrador current, I must say he is good person  …no extra fingerings…F1
2-MAR-21DEVESHMoon augmentation Why -30 in moon corn Lunar eclipse explain Solar eclipse explain Equipments used in polar region don’t tell him equipments like radar echo, sounder etc. he wants to hear additional equipments carried onboard For polar region. ROR situations Crossing and overtaking combined and plenty cross questions on thatF1
