“Red right Returning” works for airplanes also. Fixed wings would hardly ever have higher lights in the middle, tho. But narrow red/greens with higher center lights would smell like chopper to me. You fiberglass lined hole-in-the-water guys put lights every place so I’m bearing right/starboard.

My grandfather taught it to me as BPOE. The Best People on Earth leave Black Port on Entering.

The mnemonic here is CBDR. Constant Bearing, Decreasing Range means you are on a collision course.

Whenever my guys would get a CBDR on the radar, they would report Closest Point of Approach as Frame 54. On my ship, Frame 54 was the separation between the bridge and CIC.
