- Q171 - Navigation General: Near Coastal
229. Your vessel is proceeding up a channel, and you see a pair of range lights that are in line ahead. The chart indicates that the direction of this pair of lights is 014°T, and the variation is 11°E. If the heading of your vessel at the time of the sighting is 009° per standard magnetic compass, what is the correct deviation?
The deviation is 6W because the compass heading (009) exceeds the magnetic heading (003). A compass reading higher than magnetic indicates a west deviation.
