Magnetic Compass
In the Northern Hemisphere, a magnetic compass will normally indicate a turn toward the south when
the aircraft is decelerated while on a west heading.
Deviation in a magnetic compass is caused by the
magnetic fields within the aircraft distorting the lines of magnetic force
The angular difference between true north and magnetic north is
magnetic variation
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 a Northern Hemisphere?
the compass will indicate a turn to the right but at a faster rate than is actually occurring.
During flight, when are the indications of a magnetic compass accurate?
Only in straight-and-level unaccelerated flight.
In the Northern Hemisphere, a magnetic compass will normally indicate initially a turn toward the east if
a left turn is entered from a north heading.
In the Northern Hemisphere, a magnetic compass will normally indicate initially a turn toward the west if
a right turn is entered from a north heading
In the Northern Hemisphere, a magnetic compass will normally indicate a turn toward the north if
an aircraft is accelerated while on an east or west heading.
Deviation error of the magnetic compass is caused by
certain metals and electrical systems within the aircraft
In the Northern Hemisphere, if an aircraft accelerated or decelerated, the magnetic compass will normally indicate
correctly when on a north or south heading.
