These simulations are as accurate as the Software in which it was created. These are simulations ONLY !! , created for Training purposes.
It is essential ,that the beginning of each cycle is used, when checking these simulations for accuracy.
These simulations may not meet the accuracy intended by the authority.
When navigating, a reliable timepiece should be used, with the appropriate Light List.
