Almost correct Stan,

Newer generation a/c with IRS's require a deviation card for only the stby compass as the IRS's have a 'map' of terrestrial variation in NVM which is used for magnetic heading and do not use flux valves and are therefore not subject any magnetic effects caused by the airframe.

I seem to recall figures of 3 or 5 years depending on the AMS for repeat compass swings.
