Which category describes grid accuracy of more than 91 meters?

• A. Cat 1
• B. Cat 2
• C. Cat 3
• D. Cat 5

Answer: (D)

Grid accuracy categories express how precise a reported grid coordinate is likely to be relative to the actual target location. They give a quick sense of how much you should trust the coordinate and how large the potential error area is.

If the grid accuracy is more than 91 meters, that places you in the lowest precision category, Cat 5. This means the coordinate could be off by more than 91 meters, so you’re planning with a broad area rather than a pinpoint spot. In practice, you’d rely on additional cues or confirmation to reduce risk, or shift to targeting methods that account for that large uncertainty. Higher categories indicate increasing precision with smaller possible error, but this scenario clearly falls into the lowest-precision category.
