C'mon Roy, you've been around airplanes long enough to know the real
answer -- "Why that compass card has been in the airplane since I bought
it."

Now, if the FAA really wanted to get snotty, they'd go to Part 43, appendix
A, section (b)(4)(i) and ask to see the major repair signoff for the
"calibration of ... instruments", which is what a compass swing is.

I've got AC 43.13-1B, which describes the procedure to swing a compass.
What I can't find is the bureaucratic stuff -- who can do it (any pilot?),
and what paperwork follow-up is required (airframe logbook entry, or is
just making the new compass card sufficient?).
