The magnetic direction indicator is part of the attitude indicator (AI), which is located in the center of
the flight instrument cluster.
If the magnetic direction indicator becomes erratic, when deviations in the heading are noticed, or due
to new electrical interference, the instrument can be re-calibrated.
TASK INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Proceed when in flight and at least 3 minutes from turning on the instrument.
2. Press and hold the two buttons at the same time until the message “Gathering Mag Data” is
shown on the display (approximately 10 seconds).
NOTE: The display will rotate through the 3 screen modes until the
message appears. The operation resets any previous compensa-
tion and the instrument begins to gather data for 10 minutes to
perform the magnetic compensation.
