You are steering a magnetic compass course of 075°. The variation for the area is 10°W, and the compass deviation is 5°E. What is the true course you are steering?

Correct Answer: Option C — 070°T

Apply the compass error formula: True = Compass + Deviation + Variation (Can Dead Men Vote Twice At Elections). With a compass course of 075°, 5°E deviation, and 10°W variation, the net error is 5°W. Applying this to the compass course results in a true course of 070°T.
