On the taxi check, the magnetic compass should

• A. swing opposite to the direction of turn when turning from north

• B. exhibit the same number of degrees of dip as the latitude

• C. swing freely and indicate known headings

What should be the indication on the magnetic compass as you roll into a standard-rate turn to the left from an east heading in the Northern Hemisphere?

• A. The compass will initially indicate a turn to the right

• B. The compass will remain on east for a short time, then gradually catch up to the magnetic heading of the aircraft

• C. The compass will indicate the approximate correct magnetic heading if the roll into the turn in smooth

What should be the indication on the magnetic compass as you roll into a standard rate turn to the right from an easterly heading in the Northern Hemisphere?

• A. The compass will initially indicate a turn to the left

• B. The compass will remain on east for a short time, then gradually catch up to the magnetic heading of the aircraft

• C. The compass will indicate the approximate correct magnetic heading if the roll in to the turn is smooth

On what headings will the magnetic compass read most accurately during a level 360' turn with a bank of approximately 15'?

• A. 135' through 225'

• B. 90' and 270'

• C. 180' and 0'

What should be the indication on the magnetic compass as you roll into a standard rate turn to the right from a westerly heading in the Northern Hemisphere?

• A. The compass will initially show a turn in the opposite direction, then turn to a northerly indication but lagging behind the actual heading of the aircraft

• B. The compass will remain on a westerly heading for a short time, then gradually catch up to the actual heading of the aircraft

• C. The compass will indicate the approximate correct magnetic heading if the roll into the turn is smooth

What should be the indication on the magnetic compass as you roll into a standard rate turn to the right from a south heading in the Northern Hemisphere?

• A. The compass will indicate a turn to the right, but at a faster rate than is actually occurring

• B. The compass will initially indicate a turn to the left

• C. The compass will remain on south for a short time, then gradually catch up to the magnetic heading of the aircraft

What should be the indication on the magnetic compass when you roll into a standard rate turn to the left from a south heading in the Northern Hemisphere?

• A. The compass will indicate a turn to the left, but at a faster rate than is actually occurring

• B. The compass will initially indicate a turn to the right

• C. The compass will remain on south for a short time, then gradually catch up to the magnetic heading of the aircraft

What should be the indication on the magnetic compass as you roll into a standard rate turn to the right from a northerly heading in the Northern Hemisphere?

• A. The compass will indicate a turn to the right, but at a faster rate than is actually occurring

• B. The compass will initially indicate a turn to the left

• C. The compass will remain on north fir a short time, then gradually catch up to the magnetic heading of the aircraft

What causes the northerly turning error in a magnetic compass?

• A. Coriolis force at the mid-latitudes

• B. Centrifugal force acting on the compass card

• C. The magnetic dip characteristic

What should be the indication on the magnetic compass as you roll into a standard rate turn to the left from a west heading in the Northern Hemisphere?

• A. The compass will initially indicate a turn to the right

• B. The compass will remain on west for a short time, then gradually catch up to the magnetic heading of the aircraft

• C. The compass will indicate the approximate correct magnetic heading if the roll into the turn is smooth
