Gyro error is the difference between a true bearing and the bearing shown by a gyrocompass. To calculate it, compare the gyro bearing to a known true bearing (e.g., from leading lights or a landmarks). The error is calculated by subtracting the gyro bearing from the true bearing. The error is "west" if the gyro bearing is greater and "east" if it is less. On this examples we can obtain the following given numbers: True Bearing: plotted direction on the chart Gyro Bearing: gyro compass direction

Gyro Error determination using a Range Lights🤗 It is not always by Celestial sights that we can determine the errors of our compass, especially the Gyro Compass. During Channeling or Harbour navigation we can utilize this method by finding the “True Bearing” of a pair of lights we call as Range Lights, go to the ECDIS object and interrogate by “pick report” function and presto you have known the TRUE BEARING of a range lights ahead of your ship. Next thing you have to do is to proceed on course

🕵🏻‍♂️🧭A Quick Way to Find a Magnetic Compass Error By Comparing Gyro and Magnetic Headings you could immediately say the difference of it as a MAGNETIC COMPASS ERROR …compass error is an error determined by comparing True Headings and Magnetic Headings. For the True Headings you can use the Heading from the Gyro Compass it is based on the fact that due to very minimal error of your Gyro Compass you can always assume whatever its heading that is a TRUE HEADING… 🙆‍♂️however if you would like t
