Because of the coming micronova, declination is moving much farther, and much faster and so declination information is likely incorrect My up-to-date declination is 30 degrees, 15 degrees off from the official declination for my area. but there is still a way to recalibrate magnetic declination using the shadow of sticks recording the path of the sun---rotation of the earth has not yet changed. First stick will show East. Mark it with a sharp stick pushed in. After a few minutes you can mark sun shadow travel where the shadow has moved - Push another stick in to mark West. Lay a straight stick from the E mark to the W mark. Geographic north or True North is 90 degrees from the E-W line. With your compass pointing toward True North, note how far off your compass is now. That is your true up-to-date declination. More on micronova in my 2nd book, Surviving the Micronova: This Train Is on the Tracks is available now.
hey thank you very much it is very helpful. I am studying General Navigation for the atpl exams (airline transport pilot license) it works exactly the same for us.
2020. i still watch this for my review band recalling calculations.. more videos sir and i hope this yr 2020. i enjoyed watching bu while u r explaining and it was very easy to understand.. love y captain 😂😂❤️
Very straightforward explanation. Many years ago, I tried to explain this concept to a friend over drinks, and while I intuit it naturally, my attempts to make him understand failed. Wish I had this video then!
Thank you sir wholeheartedly I have learnt so much ur the best teacher in the world sir gift to ur student please put some more videos about bearing's sir
Sir, On the first picture ship bow on 00 then the calculation is =135+000=135. Isit... this js my doubt. But the second picture =135+090=225 correct Can you please explain with map
Thumbs up for the Whale drawing! Great explanation. This is very helpful for Pilot radio navigation, too!

very helpful to me as a fresh grad cadet
Captain Dave, thank you for the greatest teachings to all tubers. Can you please make a video about clearing bearing / danger bearing. Thank you!
Thank you, we will take that in consideration!
Thx from a aviator
ধন্যবাদ ❤
Can someone explain to me more when getting relative bearing
god bless u
What is Close and developing bearing ?
My mother always mention this place Gujerat.
She always mentions 1 India Gujerat 2 Malabari
But if the object was on the left (Red)
How about sir if the object is a vessel underway on your strborad, how to know if it is a collission situation ,using only its bearing.
If you have a constant bearing and a decreasing range to the other vessel , you are on a collision course.
That help me tooo as im a trainee pilot
Hi Bhavesh, May I know what company are you working with as marine pilot? I also want to be marine pilot
Captain, what if the relative bearing is 358° while the ships true course is 340°T?
how is possible that the only way to understand relative bearing was from u??? THANKS

Sir,
On the first picture ship bow on 00 then the calculation is =135+000=135. Isit... this js my doubt.

Это булщит
Is relative bearing counts from 0 to 360? In russian books it has another name but counts from 0 to 180 each side
