Which term describes the mode where own ship stays in the center and other contacts move in relation to own ship?

• A. True Motion mode
• B. Electronic Bearing Line
• C. Relative Motion Mode
• D. Stabilized mode

Answer: (C)

In radar display terms, how motion is shown depends on the display mode. In Relative Motion Mode, your own ship is fixed at the center of the screen and every other contact moves around it according to its motion relative to you. This makes it easy to see how a target’s range and bearing change as you or the target moves, so you can quickly judge if a contact is closing in, crossing, or diverging from your path. That direct center-anchored view is exactly what this mode provides. The other options don’t place your vessel at the center with targets moving only relative to you. True Motion Mode shows targets as if you’re looking at the world in true earth coordinates, so the screen isn’t anchored to your ship. Electronic Bearing Line is a measurement tool, not a mode of display for relative motion. Stabilized mode focuses on keeping the picture steady against the ship’s roll and pitch, not on keeping your own ship centered on the display.
