Description: Tasks for navigation
Task number: A1.1, A1.7
Topic: Celestial Navigation, Compass - Magnetic and Gyro
Activ Determine compass error (magnetic and gyro) using azimuth - choosing a suitable
celestial body (Sun/ Stars/ Planets/ Moon). Apply variation to find the deviation of the magnetic
compass.
Minimum number of times that activity should be recorded: 6 (2 each phase)
Sample calculation (Azimuth- Planets):
On 06 May 2006 at 22h20m10s UTC, a vessel in position 48°00'N 050°00'E observed Mars bearing
327° by compass. Find the compass error. If variation was 4.0° East, calculate the deviation.
GHA Mars (06d 22h):
Increment (20m 10s):
v (0.9):
GHA Mars:
089° 55.7'
005° 02.5'
(+) 00.3'
094° 58.5'
Longitude (E):
(+) 050 00.0' (plus- since longitude is easterly)
LHA Mars:
144° 58.5'
Declination (06d 22h):
d (0.2):
N 024° 18.6'
(-)
00.1'
Declination Mars:
N 024 18.5
P=144° 58.5' (If LHA<180°, P=LHA)
A Tan Latitude/ Tan P
A Tan 48° 00' Tan 144° 58.5'
A = 1.584646985 N (A is named opposite to latitude, except when hour angle is between 090° and
270°)
B Tan Declination/ Sin P
B= Tan 024° 18.5% Sin 144° 58.5'
B=0.787011353 N (B is always named same as declination)
C=A+B 2.371658338 N (C correction, A+/- B: If A and B have same name- add, If different name-
subtract)
Tan Azimuth = 1/ (CX Cos Latitude)
Tan Azimuth = 0.6301399
Azimuth = N 32.2° W (Azimuth takes combined name of C correction and Hour Angle- If LHA is
between 0° and 180°, it is named "west", if LHA is between 180° and 360°, it is named "east")
True Azimuth=327.8°
Compass Azimuth=327.0°
Compass Error = 0.8° East
Variation 4.0° East
Deviation 3.2° West
