    Activity 17 - Un-Correcting The Compass

    Uploaded by

    zeyn
    This document describes a navigation activity to determine compass errors using terrestrial means. Students will calculate magnetic compass deviation given coefficient values, obtain magnetic variation from nautical charts, and determine true course and bearing based on provided values. The activity involves problem-based learning in the chart room to solve sample problems calculating true course, variation, magnetic course, deviation, and compass course. Upon completion, student performance will be evaluated based on accuracy of their calculations.
