Examples (2 & 3)<br />
If the variation is 3°E, and the deviation is 2°E. Calculate<br />
the compass error?<br />
Solution:<br />
Variation = 3°E<br />
Deviation = 2°E<br />
<strong>Compass</strong> error = ΣVariation + Deviation = 3 +2 = 5°E<br />
•<br />
If the variation is 4°W, and the deviation<br />
is 2°E. Calculate the compass error?<br />
Solution:<br />
Variation = 4°W<br />
Deviation = 2°E<br />
<strong>Compass</strong> error = -4 + 2 = 2°W<br />
