Is it possible to use the in-flight calibration described for the internal compass for the remote compass?
I am installing a D10A and was comparing notes with the owner of a D6.
He had calibrated his remote compass on the ground, but found it was significantly different in the air. He suspects it is because he has an air driven alternator that only spins up in flight, which alters the magnetic field of the aircraft.
He was planning to use the EDC-10A calibration process in flight, by holding compass headings and going through the north, south, east, west calibration.
I was thinking that the internal calibration process might give better results, because it is designed to be performed in flight - if it can be used for the EDC-10A.
Is this possible?
Thanks,
Andrew Rowley
