🔍 Key Concepts

• Plotting a course line on the chart from a fix to a new position • Converting from true course to standard magnetic compass course using variation and deviation (TVMDC) • Understanding that "no current" means you use the track line as your course to steer

💭 Think About

• How do you find the true bearing from your 0802 fix to a point 1.1 miles north of Falkner Island Light on the chart? • Once you have the true course, how do you step through TVMDC (True–Variation–Magnetic–Deviation–Compass) to get the standard magnetic compass course? • Which of the answer choices best matches the final compass course after applying the local variation and the vessel’s deviation for that heading?

✅ Before You Answer

• Make sure you are measuring the course from your 0802 fix to the destination point, not the other way around • Confirm you are using the correct local magnetic variation for the chart area and applying it in the correct direction (East/West) • Check the deviation for the heading you obtain and be sure you apply it with the correct sign to get the standard magnetic compass course
