It’s been a few years since I calibrated the Skyview Touch in our Tundra, but I recall doing it in the air - you just needed an approximate idea of north, and follow the “wizard” in the software. I have no idea if that is in all the subsequent Skyview models, but worth checking….
Agreed. The best calibration I've ever had was using an iPhone compass as the "source of truth".
All excellent ideas. Most of the country West of the Appalachian Mountains is farm land. Most section lines (how land is divided for farming) are laid out North/South and East/West. That way you can check four different directions while flying.
If there isn't any wind........
That's where you can use the back side of your E6B.....
My question is:
whilst taxing is the GPS showing heading , ground track or is it both?
the latest GPS systems are extremely accurate with automatic compensation based on geo position....so isnt that good enough to calibrate a compass?
just thinking !!
