Curious how much trouble we take to do a compass swing, when the standard liquid filled compass is only usable during a small percentage of flight in most GA aircraft. The rest of the time it is over reading, under reading, oscillating, or wizzing round in circles! Personally I prefer to wait for a really calm day and use a GPS to do the swing in the air. At least the ground checks are useful to check for gross errors.
