Default allowable compass error...

I had a thought, what do you think? If you are tracking a radial on a VOR
couldn't you compare the radial to the compass heading and get a good idea of
the compass error?

Thanks, I know about compass roses and swinging the compass. What I'm
looking for is an indication that the compass needs swinging. That's why my
hypothetical scenario stated that the runway alignment is correct. That does
happen, by the way, even if the odds are against it.
