Compass Errors Flashcards
On the taxi, the magnetic compass should
Swing freely and indicate known headings
What should be the indication on the magnetic compass as you roll into a standard rate turn to the left from an east heading in the Northern Hemisphere
The compass will indicate the approximate correct magnetic heading if the roll into the turn is smooth.
What should be the indication on the magnetic compass as you roll into a standard rate turn to the right from an easterly heading in the Northern hemisphere
The compass will indicate the approximate correct magnetic heading if the roll in toe turn is smooth.
What should be the indication on the magnetic compass as you roll into a standard rate turn to the right from a south heading in the Northern Hemisphere?
The compass will indicate a turn to the right but at a faster rate than is actually occurring.
On what heading will the magnetic compass read most accurately during a level 360 degree turn, with a bank or approximately 15 degrees
90 degree and 270 degree
What causes the northerly turning error in a magnetic compas
The magnetic dip characteristic.
What should be the indication on the magnetic compass when you roll into a standard rate turn to the left from a south heading in the northern hemisphere?
The compass will indicate a turn to the left, but at a faster rate than is actually occurring.
What should be the indication on the magnetic compass as you roll into a standard rate turn to the right from a westerly heading in the northern hemisphere?
The compass will indicate the approximate correct magnetic heading if the roll into the turn is smooth.
What should be the indication on the magnetic compass as you roll into a standard rate turn to the right from a northerly heading in the northern hemisphere?
The compass will initially indicate a turn to the left.
What should be the indication on the magnetic compass as you roll into a standard rate turn to the left from a west heading in the northern hemisphere?
The compass will indicate the approximate correct magnetic heading if the roll into the run is smooth.
What should be the indication on the magnetic compass as you roll into a standard rate turn to the left from a north heading in the northern hemisphere?
The compass will initially indicate a turn to the right.
