Narrative:
Off course deviation due to omega error. Suspect omega error possibly due to a portable hand held television in operation by a passenger. Discovered off course error by inconsistent check point estimated and larger than normal magnetic heading corrections. Elected to make an unscheduled landing in bda for omega evaluation.

Title: OCEANIC FLT GETS OFF COURSE AND DIVERTS TO BDA FOR INST CHK.
Narrative: OFF COURSE DEV DUE TO OMEGA ERROR. SUSPECT OMEGA ERROR POSSIBLY DUE TO A PORTABLE HAND HELD TELEVISION IN OP BY A PAX. DISCOVERED OFF COURSE ERROR BY INCONSISTENT CHK POINT ESTIMATED AND LARGER THAN NORMAL MAGNETIC HDG CORRECTIONS. ELECTED TO MAKE AN UNSCHEDULED LNDG IN BDA FOR OMEGA EVALUATION.
