- Q108 - Navigation Problems: Near Coastal
239. You desire to make good a true course of 046°. The variation is 6° E, magnetic compass deviation is 12° W, and the gyrocompass error is 3° W. A northerly wind produces a 5° leeway. What is the course to steer per standard magnetic compass to make good the true course?
To steer a true course of 046, correct for leeway by subtracting 5 to account for the northerly wind, then apply variation (6E, subtract) and deviation (12W, add) to the resulting true course, yielding a standard magnetic compass course of 047.
