In-flight Compass Calibration Procedure:
The in-flight compass calibration should be conducted on a clear, VFR day. Before
commencing the compass calibration, ensure that you have adequate altitude,
clear weather, no traffic, no obstructions in the flight path, great visibility, no
airspace conflicts, etc. It is recommended that clearing turns be performed before
executing each procedure.
It is recommended that you bring someone along for the in-flight compass
calibration procedure. At times the pilot’s attention will be divided between
documentation, configuring SkyView, and maintaining situational awareness.
