E-learning module EARTH'S MAGNETIC FIELD AND ITS USE IN NAVIGATION Purpose: Target groups The e-learning module is designed for theoretical training of navigators at Deck - Operational operational level in accordance with Chapter II of the STCW Convention in the part concerning of earth's magnetic field and its use in navigation. Ship types What is an e-learning module? E-learning module is the electronic textbook on one or more sections. Theoretical materials can be accompanied by drawings, diagrams, photos, animations and videos. There is a test for assessment of knowledge gained at the end of each section. • Earth's magnetic field. Magnetic meridian. • Magnetic declination. Isogon. Agon. • The concept of a magnetic compass. • Magnetic compass deviation. • Compass points. Magnetic compass error. • Determination of magnetic compass deviation. • The use of the terms "conversion of the points" and "correction of the points".

E-learning module EARTH'S MAGNETIC FIELD AND ITS USE IN NAVIGATION EARTH'S MAGNETIC FIELD AND ITS USE IN NAVIGATION In Fig. 8, the compass binnacle is made of silumin - an alloy of silicon with aluminum - and consists of three parts: 1 - upper base: 2 - housings; 3 - lower base. The compass bowler with a cardan ring is placed in the upper base. The base is also adapted for the installation of soft iron in it with the help of which the quarter deviation is destroyed in the body of the binnacle there is a deviation device in the form of a hollow brass pipe with two movable carriages of the same...
