  • Page 53: Step 1. Heading Error Correction

    SKIPPER Electronics AS DL850 270 kHz Operation and Installation Step 1. Heading error correction: The vessel sails a steady course in calm waters and the user reads the resultant angle (averaged drift). This is entered into the system using the Head err button and encoder on menu 3, and adjusted until the averaged drift angle is zero.
