Byron Franklin Piloting technique. You have a West error of over two degrees. You must substract to correct. I just looked at the fix to determine the error. If you used the magnet compass, you have some radon error so that can't be completely collapeds to a pin point. Select L&T as the fix and take a bearing on the chart to C. the difference between the 1st bearing and the charted bearin is the amount of error.The plotted bearing is to the left of the fix ,so is west error. The sheet really is the same as using a three arm protracter.The thing to watch out for is that, T if it were much father away, you would be on a circle, and the fix can not be determined becuse the intersection of the three would form a circle with you and the fix will fit any place on the circle. The same would happen with my Technique.
