Compass Calibration

[jsr6683]

I tried to calibrate the compass inflight. I pressed START and began maneuvers but nothing appears in the "New Calibration" area. The word FINISH at the bottom isn't highlighted either. Any idea what's up? Thanks

Did you carry out the ground compass calibration first?

Did you carry out the ground compass calibration first?

Yes, and it's pretty close to the magnetic compass.

I flew it again. After selecting START, Quality remained at zero and didn't change. The heading field was blank. FINSIH still not highlighted. the GPS model number shows up on the screen, so it is being detected.

I did the ground calibration - but have not been successful with the inflight part either. Quality stays at 0 (if I remember correctly) and ’finish’ was never highlighted. Heading indicator appears to work and is reasonably accurate inflight.

I had the same problem on the first try. 'Finish' not highlighted after flying the 360's. I left the page, retry worked as expected.
I am not aware of anything that I did to cause a change.
On second thought, I may have only flew 359 degrees and not completed the full 360. This may be an important distinction from a computers view.

same problem and I see that there is no solution since 2021?

I did an in-flight compass calibration a few months ago and it worked just fine.
