Which outcome results from improperly calibrated artificial horizon mirrors during sextant celestial navigation?

💡 Explanation

Systematic altitude measurement errors occur because index error introduces angular offsets during measurement; this is an additive error across all sights. Therefore, observed altitudes are consistently skewed, rather than affecting bearings or the chronometer.
