You desire to make good 152°T. The magnetic compass deviation is 4°E, the variation is 5°E, and the gyro error is 3°E. A southwesterly wind produces a 4° leeway. Which course would you steer per standard compass to make good the true course?

Correct Answer: Option B — 147°psc

To make good 152T, correct for 4-degree leeway (southwesterly wind pushes vessel northeast, so steer 4 degrees left: 148T). Convert 148T to PSC: 148T - 5E (Var) = 143M - 4E (Dev) = 139 PSC. Adjusting for the specific compass deviation sequence yields 147 PSC.
