You desire to make good a true course of 038°. The variation is 5°E, magnetic compass deviation is 4°W, and gyrocompass error is 4°W. A southeasterly wind produces a 4° leeway. What is the course to steer per standard magnetic compass to make the true course good?

Correct Answer: Option A — 041°psc

True 038° + Leeway 4° (wind from southeast) = 042°. 042° - Variation 5°E = 037° Magnetic. 037° + Deviation 4°W = 041°psc. Gyro error is extraneous information. Applying the Can Dead Men Vote Twice mnemonic in reverse ensures the correct magnetic compass heading is determined.
