- 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.
The compass will initially indicate a turn to the left.
The compass will remain on south for a short time and gradually catch up to the magnetic heading of the aircraft.
The compass will indicate a turn to the right but at a faster rate than is actually occurring

- The heading on a remote indicating compass is 120° and the magnetic compass indicates 110° what action is required to correctly align the headed indicator with the magnetic compass?
Select the free Gyro mode and depress the counter-clockwise heading drive button.
Select the slaved Gyro mode and you press the clockwise heading to drive button.
Select the free Gyro mode and you press the clockwise heading drive button.
Select the free Gyro mode and depress the clockwise heading drive button.
