Capt. Bob, you are SUPERB! Thank you for sharing your knowledge on KZfaq. I seek your permission to use the way how you deliver understanding about this material to my students!

I am a DP instructor at Houston Marine and Capt Bob is a very good instructor. I admire his teaching style.

Very clear and practical. I’m just a recreational sailor but this is just amazing stuff to learn and familiarize with. Thank you captain!

I recommend this one for anyone trying to learn a radar plot. Must watch all the 3 videos . Absolutely amazing Thanks :)

Thank You professor for this wonderful lesson and for great gift of sharing with people all over the world. Wish you all the best!

A very beautiful , knowledgable , capable and enlightening human being. God be with this man.

Captain Bob Glover is an OG, I learnt a lot from this video. Thank you!!

thank you very much for this video i think i have watched it about 5 times now. pays to brush up on this stuff :)

This is very good for us sir.specially for students and for refreshing seafarers out there who forgot this one.thanks sir.godbless you😊

Respect to you from Australia 🇦🇺 Seafarers.

brilliant!! well spoken well explained. Thank you for your time Sir!

I got my renewal tomorrow this has been helpful. thanks

Thank you for this video it is finally beginning to be clear to me how to properly plot and calculate the CPA's

this really helped my studying. Thanks very much Capt Bob

Dear channel admins, I really appreciate if you can setup a play list of these very informative videos so that anyone can watch the series form start to end with an orderly manner. Really appreciate the work. :)

I'm from Philippines and it helps me a lot, Thanks 👍

Exellent teaching. I got everything right again by seeing the video. Awesome

This video is so much better than my 2/m instructor

I'll do next month, here in Rio de Janeiro (BR), a Captain license exams.and it iwas a great help.... very clear explanation :) Many thanks !!!!!!

Thank you very much Sir for this video discussion it makes me clearly understand the topic. God bless !

excelente forma de enseñar, a pesar de no ser mi idioma entendi perfectamente, me quedaron claro y mejor los conceptos y a pesar de (la opinión de Marina Matic, no la comparto. Tambien aprendi con WA, WO pero nunca nos dijeron el porque, ahora lo recibo claro...) Los 3 videos son para la biblioteca personal, gracias por la enseñanza, un capo.

Many thanks, I quite got back on track

i wish it would be explained to me just like that. my lecture sucks! huge thanks to this man..

I wish I had a teacher as good as him at school!

This helped me. Thank you sir!

love u sir what a dedication and wat u render was ausm hats off

well explained very useful lesson, thank you very much 👋

yes this is good and understandable. it refreshed my mind. thank you sir :)

May God bless you for this upload sir.

in Russia we don't do so much of work, instead of r - letter you can take 0* because it stands for the zero - observance time. Then you put the point that you name 6' cuz it stand for the Six minutes since the observation yet a good explanation it's always awesome to see how it's done abroad, bravo!

Brilliant didactic! Thanks Captain Bob

this is very helpful my dream is to study at north east maritime institute to learn more about this navigation and all part of seamanship work thank you for introducing this video.

Page 90 The characteristic "W" of the Queen (Cassiopeia) is low down on the northern summer horizon as summer opens, but by early August, she is higher in the sky, surrounded by the band of the Milky Way.

Thank you sir, BSMT student here❤

very clear explanation.. thanks

You sir explain more clearly than my 2/M Instructor

thanks for the video it was realpy helpfull.. appreciate ur good work😊😊

Very helpful information and in depth explanation. Thanks for upload

Excelent work,I need to learn more,nice one

Eloquently explained ...... but I still can't fathom the bearing to the nearest ale house!

Had come across the video several times but backed off cause the terminology of using r, m and RML etc is not used back here in UK. But once i got past and learnt the terminology its so easy, actually now I prefer using RML,r,m and the other ones described later on in the other videos......makes it way more easier :)

This lecture really help me a lot considering the fact the my professor in radar don't even teach us what was the purpose of the plotted lines and their roles.

its very helpful . easy to understand .

Thanks Sir, Great Job!

Merci, clair et bien expliqué

Amazing Cap thks...

Well taught.

Thank you captain from my school PMMS manila Philippines.

Well executed very good tutorial.

Well explained Sir😊

thankyou sir :) its very helpful :)

THANK YOU❤️

Being from non-marine background, I can see the underlying theory in this Radar plot. Let, with respect to some origin, my ship is at location p vector, moving at velocity u vector (includes both magnitude and direction). Let the target is at r vector and velocity v vector. Of course I will see my ship as static, and the target will appear moving at velocity v-u vector. For example, if v=u, then apparent velocity v-u=0, I.e., if target is moving in same direction and at same speed as my ship, then the target will appear stationary to me. If v=-u, then apparent velocity= v-u =2v, I.e. if target is moving at opposite direction, but same speed as my ship, then it will appear to be moving at double the speed. Similarly, For any other direction of my ship's course and the target's course, vector difference of v and u will give the apparent velocity. The two points in the radar map at 6 minute interval, give us the target's apparent course(the line joining those points) and apparent speed (distance bet the 2 points, divided by 6minute). Thus I know, the apparent velocity vector v-u. I also know my own speed and my own course, so I know my own velocity u vector. So the true velocity v of target is obtained as: u + (v-u), which is exactly what this instructor does in part2 of this lecture.

My dad was a navigator in the Army Air Corps during WW2 and continued in the Air Force Reserve later on during the 50s through the 60s during the Gemini Mission. I tried to learn it but still can't get the slightest grasp of this subject matter. It's just way over my head. Astronomy was easier and so is learning Chinese.

Very good indeed: clear, didactic, makes you want to know more ...

r and m relative motion.... I can see it already how next class my students who find this on YT will say WHY are we using WA and WO (Way of Another Way of Own labels.) This is why I keep telling them I DO NOT CARE how do you label target plots, use Chinese mandarin if you want to, as long as you know what you're plotting, that is all I care for. Every city, every university, every lecturer - his/her own labels. No wonder students get confused. But great video. Love the tools you have to do the lecture, gave me ideas.

For a person like me after seeing this think I know something which I can suggest or understand what is being done by navigators inside the wheel houses of Vessels

Great!!! from FNB barcelona

God bless you sir

Thank you sir..im from Indonesia

Anybody else watching this stuck at home during quarantine?

We are gonna go ahead

awsum explained by captain saab

Thanks great video! a quick math to find the CPA time 2.5 NM 6 minutes 8.9 NM X? X = 8.9 *6 / 2.5= 21, 36 minutes

Very thanks sir.

Very good video, however I was always taught to always take 3 plots not 2, to establish that his motion is linear? if only using 2 it's hard to see if he is turning etc. we were always told minimum of 3 plots?

Thank you sir

Thank you

so much help

This guy's good

Thank you Sir Bob Glover You sounds like Peter Griffin @ 14:30

Ótimo vídeo

what will happen if ARML do not pass between point "e & r" , we have an scenario that it passes at the bottom, and the distance of vector "er" is too short, that it can't intersect to ARML , and i can't figure out what will be my new course?

Hi...firstly, thank you for sharing all this amazing content. Where can I find/get that sheet Capt. Bob mentioned in the beggining of the video? Greetings from Spain!

i have a question sir about the 1st plot position (r). Did you put that on your own idea or did you calculate it? (what i mean is the range and the bearing of the 1st plot pos) just thinking it right now.. thanks for the the vids anyway.. its a big help for me ^_^

what is the most appropriate to use, radar transfer plotting sheet or maneuvering board? asap

How can you use only to targets to determine whether Roc exist or how can you use 2 targets to complete your triangle??

To me something is wrong. When I do this exercise having set the initial location of both vessels. To take the next position since I am in a moving vessel I reposition my vessel along its path and then position the target vessel as per reading taken. This gives a different values. Also at sea my understanding is at sea large vessel are required to have a 2 km distance. Otherwise it's considered a near miss and are required to record in their log book. If I am wrong please let me know.

What I want to solve is, given this same problem, what maneuver would I make to keep CPA exactly 3.0 nm. (Reduction of my speed not allowed) It seems I used to know this but have forgotten. I use maneuvering board. I once did this when crossing the USS Enterprise for a photography mission.

Can someone explain why it became 043 in 2nd bearing?

Why keep switching between minutes & hours? As long as you're consistent, you can use either. For instance, the relative motion speed calculation around 18 minutes works out to 8.9(kts)*6(minutes)/2.5(nmi) = 21.36 minutes, for a CPA time of 14:27:22

Good evening

What about the terms BCT and BCR?

¿Cómo se desplazan las ondas electromagnéticas de un radar?. ¿Es cierto que se desplazan en línea recta y horizontal pero respetando la curvatura terrestre?. O sea. ¿Una línea recta y horizontal que paulatinamente se va curvando hacia abajo?. Claro que ya dejaría de ser una línea recta y horizontal ¿O no?. ¿Verdaderamente un radar funciona correctamente una tierra esférica?. Tengo entendido que un radar tiene un punto ciego. ¿La tierra es plana o esférica?. ¿Cómo se explica el hundimiento del HMS Coventry?. ¿Un radar puede detectar un avión a 420 kilómetros de distancia en una tierra esférica?. Un saludo cordial.

How can RML be there when r was 45 & m was 43 degrees. Your RML Is wrong?

That is Rafflesia.

Where do you put the .35? Maritime student in philippines 😅

where did .35 come from. I've missed something?

How did he get the range and bearing of 1406?

Is this college in uk

refresh!!

why n up heading up

Rply mi plsss🥺

Hello

@RaulBowers

where did he get that 9 miles
