EFIS calibration on sloping ground

[Jim_Harris]

My home field is on a slope - maybe 3 degrees. Will this make the GNDNRT calibration inaccurate? If so I will fly elsewhere to do it. I am not using the remote compass.

By the way, having just bought my D10A (in the UK), one of the main selling points over the competition (apart from the excellence of the product)  is this forum, which puts on public display Dynon's commitment to its product and customers.

The 3 degree slope will not be a problem, since the EFIS takes into account its current pitch and roll during the calibration. While a level surface is ideal, small variations like yours shouldn't pose too big of a problem. Worst case, if the calibration doesn't look quite right after performing it at your home field, you can repeat the calibration at a more level field. You can redo the magnetic calibration as many times as you wish, with no ill effects on the overall outcome.

Glad to hear you like the forum. We try to make it as useful as possible. If you have any suggestions, feel free to post them.
