SV-MAG-236 Remote Magnetometer Installation and Configuration
8-8 SkyView HDX System Installation Manual - Revision E
Confine the flying for the in-flight compass calibration to a specific area to
minimize variations in the earth’s magnetic field during the calibration process
(IE, don’t combine the in-flight compass calibration with a cross-country
flight).
While the in-flight compass calibration is optional, it will likely improve the dynamic
performance of the heading indications in many aircraft. It is especially recommended for
aircraft with the SV-MAG-236 are installed due to magnetic interference issues when
installing the SV-ADAHRS-200/201. This is particularly true in steel framed aircraft.
The best compass performance will be achieved by performing the in-flight
compass calibration after the on-ground compass calibration has been
performed.
1. If you have two (2) SkyView displays, the in-flight compass calibration can be
performed from either display.
2. After observing the cautions above, push buttons 7+8 to enter the IN FLIGHT
SETUP MENU. Note – this menu is not accessible while on the ground.
3. Select COMPASS CALIBRATION
Right-click the knob to enter the in-flight COMPASS CALIBRATION menu. You will see
a screen similar to this:
