I also recommend making several correction cards.

Like:

Everyhing on - normal operation

Just one radio on - you know, generator / alternator failure trying to get somewhere on battery alone.

Nothing on - you know - the battery ran down in the case above and you are trying to dead reacon home.


Also don't forget, if you are flying an airplane with a manually adjusted Directional Gyro.

CH +/- Deviation = MH

So when you are setting the DG apply the compass correction card before setting the DG.
