COMPASS ERROR and DEVIATION CALCULATION SHEET

This document is a compass error and deviation calculation sheet used to determine errors between a ship's gyro compass, magnetic compass, and true azimuth readings. It collects date, time, latitude, longitude, gyro and magnetic headings, bearings, and calculates values like gyro error, magnetic error, deviation, and true azimuth to account for errors from factors like magnetic declination.
