    The document discusses compass use for instrument flying, including considerations like variation, deviation, and dip due to magnetic fields, as well as techniques for turning accurately onto and maintaining compass headings while compensating for known compass errors. It also covers acceleration and turning errors to watch for and tips for airmanship, aeroplane management, and human factors to aid accurate compass use.

    Compass use INSTRUMENT FLYING

    Objective Air exercise


    To turn accurately onto and maintain compass headings, compensating for known errors in • Demonstration of acceleration and deceleration errors
    the magnetic compass. • Demonstration of turning errors

    Making a turn
    • Check present heading against desired heading – use shortest arc
    Considerations
    • Decide on amount of overturn or underturn – ONUS
    Variation • Lookout and roll in using rate one turn – balance
    • Difference between true North and magnetic North
    • Anticipate roll out
    • Bar magnet will align itself with lines of flux
    • Select reference point
    • Level wings – hold for compass to settle
    • Check heading and make correction if required (3° per second)

    Deviation
    • Aircraft magnet acted on by things other than the lines of flux, ie, metal objects, aircraft, etc
    • Compensated for by a compass swing – done by an engineer

    Dip
    • At magnetic equator flux lines are parallel with surface
    • As they approach the poles they dip down towards the earth’s surface
    • A bar magnet tries to align with the lines of flux dip towards the earth’s surface
    • To compensate, the bar magnet is set on a pivot, but some residual dip remains
    • The pivot arrangement is fairly unstable, so compass card and magnets are immersed in fluid
    that damps out oscillations – also providing lubrication

    Airmanship Aeroplane management Human factors


    • Compass checked during taxi for • Compass system checked for • Helpful to have a 3D picture of
    correct sense and runway heading serviceability before flight compass in your head
    Acceleration errors Turning errors • Turn coordinator checked for • Deviation card is valid • In-flight mental calculations should

    SAND ONUS serviceability • Keep metal items as far away from the be kept to a minimum
    • Lookout compass as possible • Cover failed instruments to avoid
    • Apparent turn South when Accelerating, • To compensate must Overturn on North
    apparent turn North when Decelerating and Underturn on South • Suction gauge should be checked confusion
    • Use rate one turn, maximum error on N or during engine run-up (4.5–5.2 inches)
    S = 30°
