STCW Competence

Knowledge, Understanding, and Proficiency

Plan and conduct a passage and determine position

OICNW-A1.07 Compass – magnetic and gyro

Ability to determine errors of the magnetic and gyro-compasses, using celestial and terrestrial means, and to allow for such errors

Condition	Behavior	Standard
On a vessel underway or on a simulator equipped with both a magnetic and gyro- compass, and given a deviation table, and a chart with a scale of no more than 1:150,000,	the candidate correctly applies the compass error to the compass bearings by magnetic compass of at least two charted objects and plots them on the chart in use.	The candidate: Correctly applies compass error to the magnetic compass bearings; and Determines the objects’ position to within ± 1.0° of the assessor’s solution.

Standard

On a vessel underway or on a simulator equipped with both a magnetic and gyro- compass, and given a deviation table, and a chart with a scale of no more than 1:150,000,

the candidate correctly applies the compass error to the compass bearings by magnetic compass of at least two charted objects and plots them on the chart in use.

The candidate:

Correctly applies compass error to the magnetic compass bearings; and
Determines the objects’ position to within ± 1.0° of the assessor’s solution.
