A fixed aid flashes

She must use the same charts that Jon does.

I still want to know where they get these animated charts...

No, but they're identified as such on the chart.

A fixed aid flashes like it's supposed to because it's been fixed.
A floating one might not be working because it hasn't been fixed.




It's a joke people....


The ones that are fixed can't get together and make little
channel markers.

What is the fundamental difference between
a fixed navigational aid and a floating one as
depicted on a chart.

A floating aid will generally be shown with an open circle, indicating
that its exact position may change.

The fixed aid will generally have a dot in the circle or a larger black
disk, indicating that its position can considered exact.
