    Competence objectives of the study unit
    The student is provided with
    • an ability to determine and allow for errors in magnetic and gyro-compasses.
    • knowledge of the principles of magnetic and gyro-compasses.
    • theoretical knowledge and whether theory has been real-ised with reference to gyro-compasses on vessels as well as the faults and limitations of gyro-compasses.
    • an understanding of systems (master/slave) under the con-trol of the master gyro and knowledge of the operation and care of the main types of gyro-compasses.
    Prerequisites
    Navigational Aids: GNSS, compasses and steering
