Employment and Suitability Test of the MC-1 Magnetic Compass Calibrator Set

摘要

The MC-1 Magnetic Compass Calibrator Set was designed to pro¬vide an expeditious means of calibrating and compensating compass systems incorporating C-2 or C-3 flux valve transmitters. The set requires an area free of strong magnetic disturbances but does not require a compass rose or movement of the aircraft, once it is aligned to the magnetic North heading. With this set, the equivalent of a 24-heading compass swing can be accomplished in about 2 1/2 hr with an accuracy of 0.1 degree.
