Question 44Navigation Problems

The correct answer is D) 073°pgc. To arrive at this answer, we need to consider the following: 1. The true course between the two points is 078°. 2. The gyrocompass has an error of 2°E, meaning the gyro reading is 2° higher than the true heading. 3. There is an allowance of 3° leeway for a north wind. To make the true course of 078° good, we need to subtract the gyrocompass error (2°E) and the leeway (3°) from the true course. This results in a gyro course of 073°pgc. The other options are incorrect because they do not properly account for the gyrocompass error and leeway.
