I think aviation should have started moving towards true north for everything long ago, but that's just me. The constant shifting of the magnetic poles (which is accelerating) means perpetual updates for anything that depends on magnetic north (and you can't use magnetic south, because it isn't even exactly opposite magnetic north). Because we don't have a TRUE NORTH indicator in the cockit. Just a magnetic compass and instruments derived from it. Real flying ain't a stupid-assed computer simulation. |
