- Q127 - Navigation Problems: Oceans
274. On 6 August your 1552 zone time DR position is LAT 24°26.0'S, LONG 73°19.0'E. At that time, you observe the Sun bearing 302°psc. The chronometer reads 10h 55m 07s, and the chronometer error is 02m 38s fast. The variation is 6°E. What is the deviation of the standard magnetic compass?
The compass deviation is calculated by subtracting the true azimuth from the observed compass bearing and adding the magnetic variation. Using this formula with the given values results in a deviation of 6.1 West.
