Re: Navigation
To convert your compass heading to True heading you must take into account the variation(natural caused by true north not being at the North pole) and Deviation(your stereo and amps are interfering with the compass)

Re: Navigation
Always plot courses on your chart in True headings.
True Variation Magnetic Deviation Compass add west |
Re: Navigation
TRUE VARIATION MAGNETIC DEVIATION COMPASS Did I pass? Going for my Capt'n license in a couple of months, so I hope I did well :D Robert |
Re: Navigation
You are on a course of 340 heading north from the Bahamas to the NE United States in the Miami to New York Race. Your compass reads 340,your deviation is 3 degrees west,your variation is 4 degrees east. To convert your compass to the true heading on your chart 340(compass)-3W(deviation)=337 (Magnetic)+4E(variation)=341 (true)

Nope, going straight for the license. If I can't pass the test, I will try, try, try, and try again.

Anyone that gives a damn about old school(or electronic) navigation should get a copy of Chapman's Piloting.
