🔍 Key Concepts

• Relationship between true, gyro, magnetic, compass (TGMC) and how errors are applied • Definition and sign convention for gyro error vs deviation • How to compare psc (per standard compass) and pgc (per gyro compass) to extract deviation

💭 Think About

• Start from the given gyro heading (pgc) and apply the stated gyro error to find the equivalent true heading. What direction do you apply the error? • From that same true heading, what should the magnetic/standard compass heading (psc) be if there were no deviation? Then compare it to the actual psc to see the deviation. • Think about this: if the compass is reading more east or more west than it should, does that mean the deviation is labeled E or W?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear on the sign of gyro error: "2°E" means gyro reads east (higher) or west (lower) than true? Verify that first. • Use a consistent conversion chain (e.g., True ↔ Gyro and True ↔ Compass) and write it out before doing any arithmetic. • After you compute a candidate deviation, rebuild the headings forward (from true to gyro and true to compass) to see if you get back to 330°pgc and 345°psc. This catches sign mistakes.
