Lost Heading

Mr. Anderson
May 9, 2025

Lost heading issues in the Northrop Grumman Sperry Marine NAVIGAT X MK 2 can be caused by a difference between the gyro and magnetic heading sources. This is indicated by the "HEADING DIFF. ALARM" when the difference exceeds the set alarm threshold. The cause should be determined by checking both heading sources.

    056341 Rev. AA NAVIGAT X Mk 2 8.3.3 Power-up Function Test To verify the correct operation of the compass, the power-up sequence and the settling of the compass is observed. The gyrosphere current is periodically checked during the first 45 minutes of operation and the final heading output is checked after the compass has settled.
