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.
