Parallel Indexing Radar NavigationDemonstrates the value of this technique when navigating in confined waters or when wanting to hold position in, for example, a traffic separation scheme and explains the theory of the technique and how to apply it.For those still uncertain about the benefit of parallel index there is a clear explanation of its use as an accurate and reliable method of navigation.Wheel over positions are covered and there is sound advice on checking “the settings” and the limitations implicit in radar operations.The publication explains the theory of the technique, and how to apply it.Introduction.The Technique.How a vessel might be set from its intended track by the tidal stream and into a dangerous situation.How the situation can be avoided by use of parallel indexing.General principles.Margins of safety.Pre-planning.Wheel over position.Awareness of inputs and the effect of the radar when processing inputs.Author: Captain B.WestwoodPaperbackSKU: P6237
