General Navigation USCG Question #729 (Set 23)

Which data must ECDIS be able to record at one-minute intervals?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option B — Course made good history

IMO performance standards for ECDIS, as referenced in 46 CFR, mandate that the system must record the ship's track history at one-minute intervals. This data, including course made good, is critical for accident reconstruction and voyage auditing, ensuring a continuous record of the vessel's actual path over the ground.
