Class B bearings in which there is a probability of less than 1 in 20 that the bearing error would exceed +/-5 degrees

Class C bearings in which there is a probability of less than 1 in 20 that the bearing error would exceed +/-10 degrees

Class D bearings in which the error would exceed +/-10 degrees
