How often should you check the heading indicator and align it with the magnetic compass?
every 15 minutes
What is the difference between gyro and directional gyro?
The term Gyro refers to any Gyroscope (Space,Earth,Tied or Rate) whereas Directional Gyro is typically a Tied Gyro which is used in Aircraft for the purpose of Heading reference in DGI (Directional Gyro indicator) because it does not suffer any errors like magnetic compass.
What is the definition of heading?
The direction you are going in.
A 40Kg football player leaps through the air to collide with and tackle a 60Kg player heading toward him also in the air. If the 40Kg player is heading to the right at 7M per S and the 60Kg player...?
Answer is 1 m/s and .....

Different magnetic deviation and magnetic variation?
In relation to aviation... Deviation is the difference between a true heading and the compass heading. The compass heading is different from true due to magnetic fields induced by the components of the aircraft. Variation is the difference (angle) between True North and Magnetic North. Variation changes depending on your position and is normally indicated on maps as a dashed line with the variation in degrees along that particular line.
When In the Northern Hemisphere if an aircraft is accelerated or decelerated the magnetic compass will normally indicate?
correctly when on a north or south heading.
What In the Northern Hemisphere the magnetic compass will normally indicate a turn toward the south when?
In the Northern Hemisphere, the magnetic compass will normally indicate a turn toward the south when orienting oneself to true north, as the magnetic north pole is located in the Arctic region.
How do you use a compass correction card?
First you read the compass. Then you find the correction for the heading closest to the heading the compass reads, interpolating if needed. Then you add the correction to the heading to get the corrected heading.For example, say the compass read 37 degrees and the correction card had a +2 correction for 30 degrees and a -1 correction for 60 degrees. You would interpolate a correction at 37 degrees of about +1, and add that to 37 to get a corrected magnetic heading of 38 degrees.
What is compass error?
Compass error refers to the difference between the actual magnetic heading of a compass and the heading it indicates. It can be caused by various factors such as magnetic interference from the ship or aircraft it is installed on, deviation due to metal objects nearby, or variation caused by the difference between true north and magnetic north. Compass error needs to be regularly assessed and corrected to ensure accurate navigation.
When In the Northern Hemisphere a magnetic compass will normally indicate a turn toward the north if?
an aircraft is accelerated while on an east or west heading.
