🔍 Key Concepts

• Relationship between compass deviation and ship’s magnetic fields • Which correctors handle semi-circular deviation vs quadrantal deviation • How deviation behaves on cardinal vs intercardinal headings

💭 Think About

• Think about on which headings quadrantal deviation becomes largest: is it on N/E/S/W or on NE/SE/SW/NW? • Match each corrector (magnets, spheres, Flinders bar) to the type and pattern of deviation it is designed to correct. • Recall which corrector is associated with iron in the vertical plane near the compass versus soft iron on the beam of the vessel.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which type of deviation is maximum on intercardinal headings (this is key). • Verify which corrector is specifically designed to handle quadrantal deviation (a four-quadrant pattern). • Eliminate any correctors that mainly affect fore-and-aft or athwartship semi-circular deviation or heeling error, not quadrantal effects.
