Gyro and heading disagreement: document, do not recalibrate

A heading mismatch should be escalated to the responsible onboard team. The website can help prepare the fault information but cannot provide a safe-to-sail or calibration decision.

Identify the affected displays

List the equipment reporting the mismatch and any displayed alarms. Record what the responsible onboard team has observed, including whether the difference is constant or intermittent. Do not assume which source is correct.

Include the system history

Supply model and service references from the equipment register. Note any recent sensor work, power event, or change to an interface. Ask the desk to establish the scope for reviewing the source and receiving equipment.

Do not adjust the evidence away

Do not recalibrate, align, switch sources, or change settings on the basis of this page. Technical actions require qualified personnel, the vessel’s procedures, and an authorized plan. Request the expected test record and limitations of the work.

Information to prepare

  • Affected source and displays
  • Observed disagreement and alarm text
  • Recent service history
  • Responsible officer and port window
