I entered the inclination and other data in the d-100 and calibrated using the airport compass rose. The D-100 seems to give a pretty good heading when straight and level, but when I do any kind of a turn, such as a standard rate turn the heading leads or lags by as much as 30 degrees. This causes all sorts of problems including the autopilot performing oscillations in heading mode.

Has anyone had a similar problem and fixed it?
Thanks,

Bryan

Bryan,
Leading and lagging is usually caused by the inclination and / or total field numbers being wrong.
Read the instructions carefully on this page.

Let me know what you find.
