Compass card-why bother?
Most training aircraft i have used have had compass cards fitted.
How many instructors bother to teach the student the use of.
How many find the compass is usually way off anyway.(say 5-10 degrees)
How often does this put the poor student/pilot off track.
Forgive my ignorance but how often should the compass be swung?
In my experience it should be every six months.
It seems to be a piece of kit that is often neglected.
