4. Correct your course until the course deviation
needle on the screen is at the center of the compass
rose.
The course deviation needle moves to the right if
your aircraft is off course to the left of the OBS, or
moves to the left if your aircraft is off course to the
right of the OBS.
The deviation marks indicate off-course level by
2 degrees up to 10 degrees per each side. If your
deviation exceeds 10 degrees, the course deviation
needle will stay at the position of the fifth mark (the
end of the scale) of the left or right side.
