Check to see that doors are closed, flaps are in retracted position, throttles set at cruise position, engine(s) operating, and aircraft in a level attitude. All electrical switches, generators, radios, etc., should be in the position they will normally be for navigation flight.

COMPENSATION • 1. Set adjustment screws of compensator on zero. Zero position of adjustment screw is obtained by lining up the dot on the screw with the dot on the compensator frame. Head aircraft on magnetic North heading. Adjust N-S adjustment screw until compass reads exactly North.

Does the Airpath Panel Mount Compass C2300 part number 10-01340 threads for a mounting screw in the center of the back of the compass? Does the lighted model part number 10-01341 have a 2 wires coming from the top of the unit? Part number 10-03140 does not have the threads for mounting the screw in the center as this is a panel mount compass. 650 ON READER SERVICE CARD or roll changes, and creates constant stability. Roll angle, vertical altitude hold and preselect, glideslope intercept and tracking, manual. Plus an install kit costing $2,000 to $3,000, depending on aircraft model. Pratt & Whitney 750shp PT6A-l 35A engines with the Pratt & Whitney 1000.

Head aircraft on magnetic East heading. Adjust E-W adjustment screw until compass reads exactly East. Head aircraft on magnetic South heading. Note the resulting South error.

Adjust the N-S adjusting screw until one-half of this error is removed. Head aircraft on magnetic West heading. Note the resulting West error. Adjust the E-W adjusting screw until one-half of this error is removed. Head aircraft in successive magnetic 30-degree headings and record all errors on the deviation card furnished with the compass. For satisfactory results, all extraneous magnetism causing over 30-35 degree compass errors should be removed from the aircraft, or the compass should be relocated to a position where uncompensated error does not exceed 30-35 degrees.

Use a brass or other non-ferrous material screwdriver when making compensator adjustments. Best results can be obtained in actual flight compensation by following the procedure outlined below: • A. Set directional gyro from a sectional line or runway. (Allow for magnetic variation to ensure gyro corresponds to magnetic heading) • B. Follow procedures 1 through 6 above. Re-check directional gyro occasionally for possible precession, and allow for such precession error in recording results on magnetic compass deviation card.

NOTE: If aircraft is equipped, GPS can be used (allow for deviation) to establish reference headings for compass compensation. This technique will eliminate possible errors caused by gyro precession.

COMMON COMPENSATION PROBLEMS Any time there is a maintenance or repair to your aircraft, it is recommended that the compass be compensated. This is particularly true if there is work associated with the removal of old and/or installation of new equipment in the instrument panel. New radios and relocation of speakers or intercoms could affect the compensation required. New hardware (i.e.

Screws, nuts, etc.) installed during maintenance can sometimes be the cause of excessive errors if the hardware is steel or magnetic. Loose electrical grounds, lighting, or extended periods of parking in North-South alignment on the ramp can lead to the magnetization of the airframe itself. Download onet games for pc.

This is often evidenced by excessive uncompensated compass error (more than 30-35 degrees). Engine mounts on single engine aircraft and center windshield posts becoming magnetized can lead to compensation problems. Demagnetizing (degaussing) the airframe component or relocating the compass will solve this problem. Remember that every aircraft is different. Following the set-up procedures outlined above prior to compensation is important.

As stated, in-flight compensation will achieve the best results. Landing gear position can sometimes affect deviation. Other factors to consider are: yoke position, cruise configuration, pilot heat, and de-icing equipment (particularly windshield anti-ice). Operators should consider removing any jewelry while compensating compasses. Such things as watches, rings, and eyeglasses can affect the amount of compensation required.
