Title Magnetic compass calculations - basics
Reference Magnetic compass adjusters course Duration 30 minutes
Responsibility Form is used by trainee.

OBJECTIVE OF EXERCISE:

 Demonstration of understanding of the errors of a magnetic compass and ways of correcting them
 Exercise legend:
o MCo – Magnetic Course
o MCCo – Magnetic Compass Course
o TCo – True Course
o d – Variation
o δ - Deviation

EXERCISE DESCRIPTION:

1. Please write down the true course based on given information:

MCCo = 100⁰, d=2⁰W, δ=1⁰W.

TCo = 100-2-1=97deg

2. Please write down the true course based on given information:

MCCo = 000⁰, d=2⁰E, δ=1⁰W.

TCo = 000+2-1 = 001deg

3. Please write down the true course based on given information:

MCCo = 140⁰, d=3⁰W, δ=5⁰W.

TCo = 140-3-5=132deg

4. Please write down the true course based on given information:

MCo = 220⁰, d=2⁰E, δ=2⁰E.

TCo = 220 +2 = 222deg

5. Please write down the true course based on given information:

MCo = 050⁰, d=2⁰W, δ=3⁰W.

TCo = 050 – 2 = 048 deg

6. Please write down the true course based on given information:

MCo = 112⁰, d=4⁰E, δ=1⁰W.

TCo = 112 + 4 = 116 deg

7. Please write down the true course based on given information:

MCCo = 000⁰, d=12⁰W, δ=4⁰E.

TCo = 000-12+4 = 352deg

 8. Please write down the compass course based on given information:

TCo = 100⁰, d=2⁰E, δ=1⁰W.

MCCo = 100-2+1 = 099deg

9. Please write down the compass course based on given information:

TCo = 080⁰, d=12⁰W, δ=1⁰E.

MCCo = 080+12-1 = 091deg

10. Please write down the compass course based on given information:

TCo = 359⁰, d=4⁰W, δ=3⁰W.

MCCo = 359+4+3 = 006deg

11. Please write down the compass course based on given information:

TCo = 003⁰, d=4⁰E, δ=2⁰E.

MCCo = 003-4-3 = 357deg

12. Please write down the magnetic course based on given information:

TCo = 234⁰, d=4⁰W, δ=2⁰E.

MCo = 234 + 4 = 238deg
