Oct 15, 2023 · (d) a magnetic compass or a magnetic direction indicator that operates independently of the aircraft electrical generating system; (e) a tachometer for each engine and for each propeller or rotor that has limiting speeds established by the manufacturer; (f) an oil pressure indicator for each engine employing an oil pressure system;

Jun 1, 2014 · The chief instructor (Al Johnson?) had built a compass simulator that was really quite clever. It was a little airplane on a gimbal with a compass card. It had an elastic string orienting the compass card to "North" on the platform below. When you banked the plane, the downward pull of the elastic would clearly show how compass errors worked.

Nov 12, 2009 · IMHO, time devoted to teaching compass turns could be better spent on something useful. There is no requirement to demonstrate them on any checkride. If, God forbid, I should ever be in a situation that required turning to a heading using the magnetic compass I would do it with wings level, feet on the floor, about ten degrees at a time.

Nov 6, 2008 · My local avionics shop calibrated the new compass and used a professional magnetometer to print a nice compass deviation card. Cost was a $120 for 2 guys performing the work. No way anyone can DIY every 30 degrees on a compass rose by precisely lining up spinner to tail on a painted line.

Nov 4, 2016 · 1) Magnetic direction indicator (compass) is required even to this day by FAR 91.205 2) Compass card is required by most aircraft unless TYPE CERTIFIED in the last very few years. (TCDS is used to determine what year the 23.1547 was complied with)

Jul 27, 2021 · Both the magnetic compass and the G5 should be calibrated to read nearly the same on a compass rose. If different, should have a correction card. Last edited: Jul 27, 2021

Aug 12, 2014 · it is matched to the magnetic compass with all deviation adjustments accounted for. [Figure 6-32] There are supporting instruments associated with bank as well. The turn rate trend indicator shows the pilot when the aircraft is changing heading. The magnetic compass is also useful for maintaining a heading; however, it is influenced

Nov 18, 2019 · A magnetic compass is required equipment item, but one not often referenced these days. Most often you are keeping your DG or HSI in your scan. The magnetic compass is just referenced briefly to correct for gyro precession. Im unsure how well the car will work as an analog to an airplane for the using a magnetic compass.

Feb 26, 2016 · Naturally, flying without a GPS would necessitate using the magnetic compass. That doesn't mean that the practicalities of how ATC are looking at you in the sky make using the GPS more practical - especially when you are on an approach and there isn't time for correction.

Apr 1, 2016 · Magnetic Heading +/- Deviation = Compass Heading If you take the compass deviation card into account when you set your heading indicator, then you don't have to worry about it, since most people would fly headings with the heading indicator. Like FastEddieB said, I've never seen a compass deviation card like that--they usually say FOR and STEER.
