1.3 Compass errors
The accuracy of a gyrocompass is of paramount importance, particularly
under maneuvering situations where the compass is interfaced with
collision-avoidance radar. An error, either existing or produced, between
the actual compass reading and that presented to the radar could
produce potentially catastrophic results. Assuming that the compass has
been correctly installed and aligned, the static compass errors briefly
listed below, should have been eliminated. They are, however, worthy of
a brief mention.
