Int: Capt. Sundaram Ext: Capt. Daniel Chandran Fn-1 Pass I was lucky as i had both Capt Sundaram and Capt Daniel Chandran taking my orals for Fn 1 together in the room,so i didnt hav to go to Capt Sundaram again after finishing it with Capt Chandran. They both were asking questions simulatneously. Following were the questions asked. 1) What is ship routing? (Capt Chandran) 2) Where will u find Information abt mandatory ship reporting? (Capt Chandran) 3) Where will u find information abt ocean ship reporting? (Capt Chandran) 4) What are differnt methods of Position fixing? (Capt Chandran) 5) Boyage system in Japan?

(Capt Chandran) 18) In singapore strait u have doubled up watch,u and 2nd mate keeping watch together,master and 3rd mate keeping watch together.u guys are keeping 6 on 6 off.Now if a dangerous situation arises where u think u might require masters assistance would u call him for assistance? 19) U r going to port Jeddah which is famous for coral reef all around in that area,suddenly 2nd mate says that the plan chart for the port is missing,How will u go about navigating in that area without a chart which has coral reef all around? 20) U have sailed out of a port and after 2 days of sailing master falls sick (high fever and incapacitated),ur action as a mate? Capt Chandran is a very practical man,be confident,take ur time to answer,he wld ask u the next question until u say an answer or u say i am nt sure abt the answer.Nd if u are going to him plz brush up on topics like sight magnetism and gyro.He was nt into much of ROR,he dint ask me cards but jst one situation which i have mentioned above.And wid Capt sundaram sm bullshit works bt not wid capt chandran.

Guys,if u have ny doubts wid the answers related to the above questions plz post ur doubts. Also dis is an excellent community to share information and help our fellow mates get thru wid the orals process.So plz continue to post questions so that it helps others.There were unknown fellow mates who helped us by posting questions and their personal experiences with different surveyors,so its our moral responsibility to continue the good work started by them.. Cheers and all the best to people appearing in future!!!
