À propos de ce contenu audio
In this episode we break down the aircraft magnetic compass from first principles to real world cockpit use, explaining how it aligns with the Earth’s magnetic field and why this simple instrument remains required for both VFR and IFR flight. We explore compass construction and readout, then dive into the core sources of error, variation, deviation, and magnetic dip, including how each one affects navigation and how pilots correct for them. You will learn the proper course correction sequence from true to magnetic to compass, understand northerly and southerly turning errors, acceleration and deceleration errors using the ANDS mnemonic, and how to manage oscillation when setting other instruments. We close with a look at the vertical card magnetic compass and how its design changes display, damping, and turning characteristics, giving you a complete and practical understanding of one of aviation’s most misunderstood instruments.
