Question 42

Question
Using the 1:25,000 scale topographic map extract below, answer the following: During a navex you have become unsure of your position, and have identified three topographic features in proximity to you on both map and ground These features are to the north, south-west and east of your current position. Based on the route you were travelling, Gosford Rifle Range is to the east of your position. Using your compass, you confirm the magnetic bearing of each of these features is: 1. 320 degrees 2. 248 degrees 3. 80 degrees Use the resection method to determine your location. Note that the magnetic variation for this map (Gosford 9131-2-S) is currently 11.5 degrees east. [blank_start]GR 382964[blank_end]
Answer
  • 382964

Question 43

Question
Using the 1:25,000 scale topographic map extract below, what feature can be found at GR :376962? [blank_start]Scopas Peak[blank_end]
Answer
  • Scopas Peak

Question 44

Answer
  • Mt Kariong GR 387965

Question 46

Question
While moving along a bearing, a quick way for a section commander to check where the section is on a route is to:
Answer
  • Assess whether the ground covered conforms with the 'going' information that was put into the navigation data sheet.
  • Assess if the sun is located in a position as expected for the time of day.
  • Average the distance estimated to have been covered by consulting your 2IC and your next most senior section member.
  • Assess whether the signal strength of radio communications with the point of origin is strong or weak.

Question 47

Question
You encounter an obstacle - a swamp - on your route of march. It will be advantageous to avoid the obstacle. The correct action to take is:
Answer
  • Select an object or feature to your immediate flank that is beyond the known boundary of the obstacle. Plot a new course to this object, and from that object plot another course to another object on your original line of the march.
  • Move around the edge of the obstacle, keeping as close as possible to it, while maintaining a visual on your original line of march.
  • Maintain your original line of march - avoiding difficult terrain is not an acceptable action for a section commander to take.
  • Using evenly spaced section members, advance in line abreast around the obstacle, ensuring that you minimise the number of section members who get wet, while ensuring that you can get the majority of members around the swamp.

Question 48

Question
Which of the following is a common method to increase the accuracy of your navigation once you commence your march?
Answer
  • Appoint a pace counter
  • Stop periodically to draw a bearing from your position to a position on the horizon directly below the sun, maintaining a 90 degree bearing to that position
  • Maintain a key feature at your 6 o'clock position
  • Use the eastern most star of the southern cross to draw a vertical line down to the horizon to determine the bearing of south.

Question 49

Question
You are tasked to move between Point A and Point B. The bearing on the map between these points is 120 degrees. The magnetic variation on the map is 17 degrees EAST. In order to take a bearing on your compass to establish your line of march you should:
Answer
  • Subtract the magnetic variation from the grid bearing
  • Add the magnetic variation to the grid bearing
  • Disregard the magnetic variation as it is less than 22 degrees
  • Use the grid bearing of 120 degrees as it is the true bearing between Point A and Point B

Question 50

Question
The letter X made out of stones in a clearing visible from the air would indicate to an aircraft that survivors need:
Answer
  • Medical assistance
  • Have stopped at this position
  • Are moving in the direction of the horizontal axis of the X
