Compass Rose Directory - Pilots of America With the evolution of TCAS, FOGs, etc the old surveyed certified compass rose couldn't cut it any more which was another reason for their demise The use of a GPS is a poor mans way of getting a magnetic compass set up quickly before officially swinging it
Compass Rose in Florida? - Pilots of America Just use your GPS It is WAY faster and more accurate Airpath Compass Co recommends it """""NOTE: If aircraft is equipped, GPS can be used (allow for deviation) to establish reference headings for compass compensation
Compass Swing who can and can not - Pilots of America I can assure everyone reading this not all airports have their surveyed compass rose (calibrated) Many airports have compass roses that may not be accurate due to underground pipes or other metal objects that will affect the accuracy of the survey The FAA has published a document FAA No 405, Standards for Aeronautical Surveys and Related
99s Compass Rose - Pilots of America I helped paint the 99's Compass Rose at KFTG, Front Range, Watkins, CO when I was based there The rumor that the 99's is named after the average age of its members is certainly exagerated by a year or two
Magnetic Compass - Pilots of America Part of my annual condition inspection on my experimental aircraft is to swing the compass on the compass rose and adjust it The imperfections are noted on the compass correction card Part of my takeoff procedure is to see the compass agrees with the runway heading as published in the chart supplement
Painting a Compass Rose? - Pilots of America Is this being done by the 99s? They seem to do a lot of that If you go to their website, and search "Palmyra" (88C) which is a very nice airport in Wisconsin, it will pull up their October 2010 newsletter, I think, which has several compass rose painting events Some seem huge, others are more modest, but all seem like fun
Swinging a Compass Using GPS and DG? | Pilots of America Either the rose (calibration pad) is certified or its not and falls to the mechanic to contact the airport to see if it is A mechanic cannot certify a compass rose But as an FYI, the information for certifying a compass rose is in the Airport Ops FARs Unfortunately, the numbers of certified compass roses are declining as fast as rural airports
Missing VOR - Pilots of America Nor are the VOR compass roses on the FAA approach charts either But, with Jepp you get the VOR compass rose on the low-altitude en route chart and on the approach charts (see attached) You get what you pay for
Compass Correction Deviation Card - Pilots of America Each mark being 5 degrees, its easy enough to get under 4 via eyeballs Drive around the compass rose again and its easy to see that it is repeatable It can be a lot easier with a tech outside helping the driver get lined up, (second tech is SOP where I work) Did the same after calibrating a G5 HSI, compass rose works well
Adjusting an HSI compass - Pilots of America We don't have a compass rose, we perform this procedure at request with ATC on a runway Having a individual with a calibrated wet compass aligned with the centerline of the aircraft is highly accurate and acceptable for sign off I was just giving the OP an idea of how this is accomplished
