    Gyro Error by Planet

    Uploaded by

    Can T. Erbay
    This document contains information about calculating the gyro error for the planet Jupiter, which was setting in the west at the time. It provides the GMT, position, gyro and magnetic headings, along with values for declination, Greenwich hour angle of Jupiter, and magnetic variation corrections needed to calculate the true and magnetic bearings. The answers section shows the calculations for local hour angle, true bearing, gyro error, speed error, and verifies that the final true heading matches the initial value.
