I'm thinking that since the Dynon compass is calibrated when we swing it, there is no compass correction card required right?
The reason that I ask is that I also have a panel mounted whiskey compass that is worthless. It varies up to 30 degrees depending on direction. I don't want to waste the time creating and posting a compass card for a compass that I won't look at. I just slapped an INOP sticker on the face of the compass and called it a day.
Now I'm thinking, if I get ramped checked, and if it's true that a compass correction card is not required for an EFIS, what are the chances that the ramp checkers know this? I'm thinking it might just be easier to remove the INOP sticker from the whiskey compass and display a compass card for it even though I don't trust it as far as I can throw it. That way I'll avoid any misunderstandings.
Opinions?
