- Q206 - Navigation Problems: Near Coastal
24. You desire to make good a true course of 279°. The variation is 8°W, magnetic compass deviation is 3°E, and gyrocompass error is 1°E. A north-northwesterly wind produces 3° leeway. What is the course to steer per standard magnetic compass (psc) to make the true course good?
To achieve a true course of 279, account for 3 of leeway, then convert to the standard magnetic compass by adding the westerly variation of 8 and subtracting the easterly deviation of 3, resulting in a course of 287psc.
