Refer to figure.
When flying on a compass heading of 062°, the deviation is…

  • A

    2°W

  • B

    2°E

  • C

    Zero

  • D

    4°W

According to the deviation card, when the pilots steer a compass heading of 062°, they are holding a magnetic heading of 060°.

Use the mnemonic:

  • Deviation West, Compass Best.
  • Deviation East, Compass Least.

In this case, the magnetic heading (060°) is lower than the compass heading (062°), therefore the deviation is west: 2°W.
