A new method for updating the deviation table of a magnetic compass on any heading is proposed. The ma-thematical description of the method is presented. The accuracy of the restoration of factors B and C is inves-tigated. The requirement of acuracy for instrumental observation is formulate

In the paper the priority of technical means and methods of navigation at contemporary seagoing ship was discussed. The role of magnetically compass and gyrocompass at the condition of contemporary ship was described. Effectiveness of gyrocompass and magnetically compass from point of navigation and economy was analyzed. The result of analysis is reflected at the recommendation for navigators and managers of ship’s company

The method of high accuracy for dynamically tuned gyroscope is presented. The mathematical description and calculation of the gyroscope‟s parameters which have coefficient of integrating 6.9 are described. The characteristics of the resonance depending of generalized parameter and influence of balance variation on accuracy were analyzed. The result of experiment is according to theory at condition of experiment in vacuum chamber

The method for automatic compensation of deviation on any heading is proposed for a Fluxgate compass. The mathematic description of the method is given along with a block diagram of the method implementation. Following an analysis of the accuracy, recommendations for achieving proper accuracy are presente

The problem of routine control of true courses from gyrocompass and from magnetic compass is presented. It is shown, that contemporary method of monitoring is not agree to science methods and is not agree to the intention of navigation safety. The reasons of this situation in aspect of history are analysed. The role of education at solution of this problem is exhibited. The problem is analysed at technical aspect, low aspect, moral aspect. The methods and means of resolving of the problem are presente

The article presents the results of compliance with effects of impact wave course and the resulting orbital motions on the accuracy of the gyrocompass.
