Denver Terminal Area Chart Question - BVR vor/dme

Yes, I did read the post.

Actually, I said: "magnetic deviation", which is probably a meaningless term
but which was the only one that came to mind.

Jeppesen uses the term "variation", then relates it to "magnetic" in the
instructions.

Neither of which is important to the usability of the plotter.

The plotter has a rotating protractor which allows for direct reading of a
course, and it has the additional variation scale which can be used to input
course corrections and still allow direct reading of the course. You would
normally use this variation scale for magnetic variation.

But you don't have to! You could also use it to give a direct read simply if
you decided: "Hey, it's Tuesday. I think I'll fly five degrees west of the
actual course!"

Now, as I have mentioned on several occasions, I am still in the wannabe
category, anxiously awaiting the arrival of the Light Sport Pilot
certificate.

Sometimes I know or come across some information that might be useful to
some in this group. I then share that information. And if I am incorrect, I
am appreciative when someone corrects me and provides the correct
information.

You made the statement: "The VOR declinations aren't necessarily the
magnetic variation for the area." This was something I have not yet learned
about, so I didn't know it. And after your post, I still don't know it. But
that lack of knowledge doesn't change the validity or worth of the
information I posted.

So, if you feel compelled to post: "Nah, nah, nah, your wrong and I'm
right", knock yourself out. But please don't be surprised if you find your
posts treated with absolutely no respect...

May I suggest you consider picking up a Jeppesen Sanderson PJ-1 Plotter.
It's truly a handy tool!


Did you bother to read the post? The VOR declinations aren't necessarily
the
magnetic variation for the area.
