As for going in circles, we are. Being I disagree with your assertion that calibration of compass requires person to aim compass magnetic north, then tell compass this is magnetic north. The calibration process detects anomolies to Earth's magnetic field, which are effectively eliminated by compensation data, leaving compass detect magnetic North.
Overall, your question / point is really meaningless, when you stop to realize - Regardless of whether pilot waits for GO-4 app to tell him/her to calibrate compass or chooses to calibrate compass because of amount of time passed or sufficient change in distance; the outcome is same when compass calibration is done correctly.
'The calibration process detects anomolies to Earth's magnetic field, which are effectively eliminated by compensation data, leaving compass detect magnetic North.'
No, it most certainly does NOT detect magnetic anomalies, because that would imply that the 'calibration' process separates the magnetic components of the aircraft, the magnetic variation due to position and the earth's normal magnetic field. The process simply cannot do that, and if you had any knowledge of physics you would understand that.
And stop bringing up what Hallmark007 says, I never said that. |
