Question and answers on marine radar designed to accompany the Radar for Mariners. There are multiple choice questions and "points of ponder" questions for each of the seven lessons listed in our online course on radar along with the anwers. Blank radar plotting sheets are included along with a list of common radar abbreviations. This workbook is in use by numerous schools throughout the US. Anyone who answers all the questions in this workbook has a sound understanding of the fundamentals of marine radar operation.

The Appendix on advanced radar plotting has been added for professional mariners who seek more practice on interpreting ARPA output by working out the vector solutions themselves. The ability to manually interpret the radar interactions seen on the screen independent of electronic solutions is in keeping with the fundamental tenet of good navigation and seamanship that we should not rely on any one aid alone.
