GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS:
WRITE YOUR TEST QUESTIONNAIRE SET ON YOUR MALAYAN Examination Blue Booklet
Read the instructions for each part carefully and understand the questions thoroughly.
Cheating/Copying of answer in any way, shape, or form is an academic dishonesty and does not constitute to the
Institution’s Motto of EXCELLENCE and VIRTUE.
You can only change your answer once by striking a line through the answer you want to change and affixing it
with your signature, before writing down your final answer. NO SIGNATURE WILL BE MARKED WRONG.
WRONG SPELLING WRONG;

CO1 18-19. In his 1772 publication “Notes and Comments on the Composition of Terrestrial and Celestial
Maps”, he introduced this map projection that conform the surface of the Earth to a cone. Johann
Heinrich Lambert / Lambert Conformal Conic Projection
CO1 20-21. Straight lines on a sphere don’t make the distance near. Plotted courses don’t veer, making the
navigator’s job clear. Who developed this kind of projection? Gerardus Mercator / Standard Mercator
CO1 22-24. Who are the mathematicians that analyzed and developed a projection where the cylinder is
rotated 90 degrees to align with a central meridian instead of the equator? Carl Friedrich Gauss,
Johann Heinrich Louis Krüger / Transverse Mercator

CO1 Berthing Charts > 1 : 5,000 (largest scale) 25.
26.Harbour Charts 1 : 5,000 - 1 : 25,000
27.
Approach Charts 1 : 25,000 - 1 : 75,000
28.Coastal Charts 1 : 75, 000 - 1 : 350,000
General Charts 1 : 350,000 - 1 : 1,500,000
Overview Charts / 29. Sailing Charts < 1 : 1,500,000 (smallest scale) 30.
COURSE Part 4: SHORT ANSWER
OUTCOM In your MALAYAN Examination Blue Booklet, provide the correct answer for the following statements or
E questions. Maximum of 4 words per answer only.
CO1 31-32. What are the two major division of charts used for navigation?
SNC, ENC
CO1 33-34. What type of paper are standard nautical charts printed on and why?
Durable, Water-resistant
CO1 35-36. What types of chart can be scanned and be used in an ECDIS?
Raster charts
CO1 37. These are arcs on a globe that cross all meridians of longitude at the same angle.
Rhumb Lines
CO1 38. Using geo-referencing and real-time data, these major chart division enables ECDIS to check and
monitor a ship’s route and provide an audible alarm to warn officers of the navigational watch if safety
of navigation is being compromised.
Electronic Navigational Chart
CO1 39. By definition, this is the shortest line that one can plot from point A to point B on a sphere.
Great Circle
CO1 40. It is the most common map projection for its navigational utility, showcasing its accurate depiction of
loxodromes.
Standard Mercator

CO1 41-43. What are the 3 Hydrographic data performance standards for ECDIS that outlines the critical
validation checks, guarantees a uniform and predictable visual experience for mariners, and ensures
security and authenticity of electronic navigational charts?
S-52, S-58, S-63
CO1 44. What is a straight line that touches a circle at only one point?
Tangent
CO1 45. Along which lines is the simple conic projection scale accurate?
Meridians and Standard parallel
CO1 46. Along which line does the cylinder touch the sphere in any type of cylindrical projection?
Great Circle
CO1 47. Along which line does the cone touch the sphere in any type of conical projection?
Standard parallel / Parallel of Tangency
CO1 48. What is the map projection that aligns a cylinder to a central meridian instead of the equator?
Transverse Mercator
CO1 49. Complete the statement: The distortion of the map in a simple conic projection is most severe at the
polesHow ?
Poles
CO1 50. Complete the statement: Aligning the cylinder to a central meridian instead of the equator, this map
projection makes it ideal for mapping areas that are elongated east-west.
East-West
