1
Which statement about the gyrocompass error is TRUE?

What would happen if the compass heading and the magnetic heading are the same?
There is no deviation on that heading
4
.
The error is LEAST and the amount of error must be added to the compass to obtain true heading

6
You observed that the standard magnetic compass heading differs from the true heading, what do you think is the cause of this difference?
compass error
7
What is an error in a gyrocompass caused by rapid changes in course, speed and latitude causing deviation before the gyro can adjust itself?
Steaming error
8
What is the angular difference between true and magnetic meridians for a given location (labeled east or west)
Variation
9
You are steering on course 125° PGC with 1° westerly error. The wind is southwest by south causing 3° leeway. What will be your course made good if the variation is 6°E and the deviation is 2°W?
121 T
10
.
It become north seeking by applying forces mechanically or electrically to process the gyroscope
11
.
That your compass has some easterly error
12
.
The reading are too low (small numerically) and the amount of the error must be added to the compass to obtain true
13
.
041 PSC
14
How should you adjust a magnetic compass using the fore and aft permanent magnets?
use the magnets in pairs from the bottom up with the trays at the lowest point of travel
15
What is the gyrocompass error introduce by ship's forward motion along it's tracks?
speed error
16
How do you measure a relative bearing?
Relative to the vessel bow
17
What is the difference between compass heading and the true heading?
Compass error
18
Which is TRUE regarding deviation?
It is the angle between the magnetic meridian and the axis of the compass card
19
The magnetic effects that causes deviation of a magnetic compass is broken down into what series of component?
It is broken down into coefficient

21
How does the gyroscope best attained the process of producing a free gyroscope into a meridian-seeking gyroscope?
It is best attain by harnessing the Earth's force of gravity
22
What is the magnetism which is present only when the material is under the influence of an external field?
Induced magnetism
23
.
The indication is reproduce by the accurate electronics servomechanism
24

The Flinders bar and quadrantal spheres
25
.
It can be compensated using the Flinders bar
26
.How would you center the compass bowl on its binnacle?
You should have the ship on an even keel, heading north or south and adjust the screws until no change of heading by compass is observe if you raise and lower the healing magnet
27
How does the gyrocompass repeater reproduce the indication of the master gyro compass ?
By accurate electronics servomechanism

When your error is East. How would you determine your true course or bearing?
Easterly error must be added to obtain true course or bearing
