Magnetic compass
In the north hemisphere a magnetic compass indicate initially a turn toward the east of
A left turn is entered from the north
In the north hemisphere a magnetic compass will normally indicate initially a turn toward the West if
A right turn is entered from a north heading
Deviation error of the magnetic compass is caused by
Certain metal and electrical systems within the aircraft
In the north hemisphere if an aircraft is accelerated or decelerated the magnetic compass will normally indicate
Correctly north and south
During flight when are the indications of a magnetic compass accurate
In straight and level flight
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 north hemisphere
It indicate a turn to the right but at a faster rate than what is occuring
Deviation in a magnetic compass is caused by the
Magnetic field within the aircraft distorting the line of magnetic force
In the north hemisphere a magnetic compass will normally indicate a turn toward the north if
An aircraft is accelerated while on an east or west heading
In the north hemisphere the magnetic compass will normally indicate a turn toward the south when
The aircraft is decelerated while on a West heading
The angular difference between true north and magnetic north is
magnetic variation.
