Compass

• Distinguish true, magnetic and compass references, then keep heading, water track and course over ground separate in a Yachtmaster command decision.
• Update charted variation to the voyage date, preserve the east/west sign and explain the precision that the source supports.
• Use heading-specific residual deviation and decide when the installed compass, its card or its magnetic environment requires investigation.

A self-guided revision companion that explains essential concepts, then helps you practise and test them. It supports—but does not replace—recognised instruction, practical training, assessment or certification. Access is a one-time payment, not a subscription.
