🔍 Key Concepts

• Compass error is the difference between true and compass bearings • Relationship: Compass = True ± Variation ± Deviation (in correct sequence) • How to use a known charted line of position (LOP) to check deviation on a specific heading

💭 Think About

• What does it mean when two lights are visually "in line" and you can read their true bearing from the chart? • How do you go from a true bearing on the chart to a compass bearing, using variation and deviation in the right order? • If you already know one of the errors (variation) from the chart, what can you solve for when you compare the observed compass bearing with the true bearing?

✅ Before You Answer

• From the chart, determine the true bearing of the line joining Middle Ground Light and Old Field Point Light • Use the correct order: True–Variation–Magnetic–Deviation–Compass and keep careful track of E/W signs • Compare what you can actually compute (with one LOP and one compass reading) to what each answer choice is claiming you know (variation, deviation, table correctness, or total compass error)
