Understanding manual radar plotting is essential for safe navigation, collision avoidance, and situational awareness at sea.
In this video, I break down the key concepts and steps to manually determine:
📍 Relative Motion Line (RML) – Understanding target movement relative to your vessel
📍 Closest Point of Approach (CPA) – Identifying the minimum distance between you and the target
📍 Bearing of Closest Point of Approach (BCPA) – Determining the exact bearing at which the target reaches CPA
Whether you're a maritime student preparing for exams or a deck officer refining your skills, this video will guide you through practical examples and techniques for accurate radar plotting.
