Compasses Mass Brief
Aim
• To gain an understanding of the principles
and limitations of using an aeroplane
compass in flight.
Application
• To align the DG and compass in VFR flight
• When the DG fails
Overview
• Definitions
• Principles
• Considerations
• Airmanship
Definitions
• Simple Bar Magnet
– A magnet freely suspended horizontally will
swing so as its axis points roughly
north/south.
Definitions
• Magnetic variation
– The angular difference between the magnetic
poles and true poles of the Earth.
Definitions
• Magnetic variation
– Isogonal are lines that join places of same magnetic variation.
– Agonic is the line that joins places of zero magnetic variation.
Definitions
• Easy way to remember when to add or
subtract variation to get magnetic heading:
“Variation West, Magnetic Best
Variation East, Magnetic Least”
Definitions
• Deviation
– Combined metal and electrical components of
an aircraft create a magnetic field which
interferes with the compass
– Deviation cards are provided for correction
Definitions
• Lubber line
– Is a line on the compass which shows the
heading on the compass card
Principles
– A direct reading compass is filled with a liquid
which; supports its weight, reduces friction
and dampens oscillations

• The aircraft turns around a magnet which
is aligned north/south
Considerations
• Magnetic Dip
– At equator, lines of magnetic force are parallel to Earth’s surface
– Approaching magnetic poles, lines of magnetic force dip toward
them and the compass aligns to these lines
• Magnetic dip is zero at equator and maximum at the poles.

Considerations
• Minimising Dip
– By placing the pivot point above the CoG, it opposes the dip
force
– The greater the dip force, the greater distance of the CoG
outwards, and the greater the restoring force
– In the southern hemisphere, the compass CoG is north of
the pivot line.

• Acceleration errors
– Due to CoG displacement, acceleration errors
occur. As aircraft accelerates, pivot point
moves with the aircraft, but the magnet is left
behind causing errors, until it is realigned.

Considerations
• Turning Errors
– The centripetal force of the turn pulls the pivot point of the
compass into the turn, but the magnet is left behind again
• In the southern hemisphere ONUS
• Overshoot through North, Undershoot through South

Considerations
• DG failure
– You can turn onto headings using a watch by
timing the turn
– Rate one turn is 360 degrees in 2 minutes
(120 seconds)
– This is 3 degrees per second
– How many seconds would it then take to turn
90 degrees?
Considerations
• Turbulent weather
– Compass may become unreadable in very
bumpy weather since the compass is not
stabilised in any way.
– Use DG instead of compass
– However aligning DG to compass could be
difficult
Airmanship
– Always avoid placing ferrous/metallic/electronic materials
near the compass
– Apply SAND and ONUS rules where applicable
– Always apply magnetic variation when flight planning
“What you see is true, what you hear is Magnetic”
– Always apply compass deviation
– Check compass for fluid leaks
– Never Align Compass to DG, in a climb, descent, turn,
acceleration or deceleration
– You can always use your watch in a timed rate one turn to
turn onto a heading if you have a DG failure
– Look at the compass from head on, otherwise you will get a
small parallax error
