Function: Navigation at the operational level
| Competence | Knowledge, Understanding & Proficiency | Task |
|---|---|---|
|
Plan and conduct a passage and determine position |
A1.07 Ability to determine errors of the magnetic and gyro-compasses, using celestial and terrestrial means, and to allow for such errors |
Determine course to steer by magnetic compass |
Assessed in: MT-2121 Deep Sea Navigation
Condition
On a ship underway or a full mission ship simulator, and given a deviation table.
Behavior
Apply the compass error to the course by magnetic compass to make good the intended true course.
Standard
- Compass error is correctly applied to the magnetic course.
- The solution is ± 2° of the assessor’s solution.
