🔍 Key Concepts

• Entrance range bearings shown on nautical charts are given in true° (T), not magnetic or gyro • Gyro error = True bearing − Gyro bearing (then decide if error is E or W based on which is larger) • When range lights are perfectly in line over the bow, your ship’s heading equals the true bearing of the range

💭 Think About

• Look up (or recall) the true bearing of the New London Harbor entrance range and compare it with your 352°pgc heading. • Ask yourself: if the true bearing is larger than the gyro heading, is the gyro reading too small (error east) or too large (error west)? • After finding the numerical difference in degrees, decide whether that difference is labeled east or west gyro error.

✅ Before You Answer

• Make sure you are using the charted true bearing of the range, not magnetic or compass information. • Carefully compute the smallest angular difference between the true range bearing and 352°pgc. • Before choosing, confirm if your result should be written as X°E (gyro least, east) or X°W (gyro best, west).
