    The document provides information to calculate magnetic variation from a ship's true track, drift, compass heading, and deviation. It states the true track is 1800, the drift is 80 to the right, the compass heading is 1950, and the deviation is -20. It then shows that the true heading is 1800 - 80 = 1720, the compass heading is 1950, the deviation is -20 west, so the magnetic heading is 1950 - 20 = 1930. The variation is then calculated as the difference between the magnetic heading of 1930 and the true heading of 1720, which is 210 west.

    Q2.

    Given:

    Track 180⁰ T
    True track 180° Heading
    Drift 8°R 180⁰ - 8⁰ = 172⁰ T
    Compass heading 195°
    Deviation -2°
    Calculate the variation.

    A 21°W B 25°W C 5°W D 9°W

    17
    8⁰

    ⁰2
    Solution

    T
    As we know that variation is the angular difference between True North and Magnetic North

    Heading True = 172⁰ T


    Deviation west Compass
    Compass Heading = 195⁰ Best
    Deviation = 2⁰W
    Heading Magnetic = 195⁰ - 2⁰ = 193⁰
    M
    Variation = 193⁰ -172⁰ = 21⁰ W
    Variation West Magnetic Best
