- D.The Flinders bar
- A.Course per magnetic steering compass
- B.Gyro error
- C.Variation
- D.Maximum rudder angle previously used
- A.The course change should be made rapidly to prevent transient induced magnetism while passing the intercardinal headings
- B.After the new heading is reached,the vessel should steam on that course for at least two minutes before the adjustment
- C.During the course change,you should gently tap the compass to remove any error caused by friction on the pivot bearing
- D.After steadying on the new heading,the compass card should be slewed by a magnet and allowed to oscillate freely to remove any gaussin error
