Many of my chart problem "solutions" differ from the text official answers by perhaps a minute or two of Lat/Lon and perhaps the same for scaled distances. Am I in the ball park with my answers? If I redo the problem with greater care (plus knowing the answer) I can get closer. But as a matter of routine, the first attempt sometimes falls short. It all depends on how I transfer the angle from the "rose" and how I draw the rhumb line etc. For the Certification Test, to what tolerances should our answers by to be considered correct.
