What is Magnetic Compass Deviation Coefficients about?
This document discusses various types of magnetic deviations that affect ship compasses, including coefficients A through E. It provides formulas for calculating each coefficient based on comparing deviations at different points of the compass, and explains how to correct for both permanent and induced magnetic errors. Placement of magnets and soft iron is used to compensate for coefficients B, D, and E.
