Compass

Has anyone ever acquired an aircraft in which the compass was accurate.
Just had back from annual aircraft with one bearing 20 degrees off.
Compass card all signed and dated.

Every single aircraft i have owned or leased, getting on for 20 plus, has required me to go out to the runway and swing the compass myself.
One aircraft came in with compass 45 degrees off on one heading.

No wonder pilots get lost or infringe airspace.
