- Q108 - Navigation Problems: Near Coastal
295. Your ship is entering port from sea, and you sight a pair of range lights. When in line, they bear 315° per standard magnetic compass. The chart shows that the range bearing is 312°T, and that variation is 6°W. What is the deviation of your compass at the time of the sighting?
The compass deviation is 3E because the observed compass bearing (315) is less than the magnetic bearing (318), calculated from the true bearing and variation. A compass reading less than the magnetic bearing indicates an easterly deviation.
