First, does your preflight check list require you ascertain your mag-comp as functional, and if so, why? Ken What does that have to do with compass fluid? Compass checks are carried out during taxi, particularly for an IFR flight. Attitude indicator erect and steady; heading indicator set and indicating during turns; turn coordinator functioning and ball free; compass free and floating, altimeter set and indicating proper elevation, radios set. That's about as much as I can remember, since my Instrument ticket lapsed eight years ago. Compass is not part of the preflight. Tell me: what does the compass do in a turn to or from North versus a turn to or from South? Why does this make it useless for rolling out on a heading unless we use a timer? Dan |
