NOTE: The reference magnetic heading is equal to the true heading indication (read on the Control and Display Unit (CDU) of the Air Data/Inertial Reference System (ADIRS)), minus the magnetic variation of the airport (a natural condition which changes continuously). The magnetic variation is given in the approved airport charts.
F Calculation of Magnetic Heading ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
NOTE: You cannot use the magnetic heading as a reference. To calculate it, the Air Data/Inertial Reference Unit (ADIRU) uses its magnetic variation table, which is not updated. Thus, for better precision, we recommend that you use the magnetic variation given for the approved airport charts.
   (1) Below the display window, on the front face of the standby compass, remove and safety the protection cover of the compensator.
   (2) Set the aircraft to the Magnetic Heading North (MHN):
For example: if you must set the aircraft to the reference MHN at an airport with a magnetic variation of +3 degrees (3 degrees East), do as follows:
  • Set the aircraft with the true heading:
    True heading = MHN + magnetic variation of the airport (360° + 3° = 3°).
One more example: if you must set the aircraft to the reference MHN at an airport with a magnetic declination of -3 degrees (3 degrees West), do as follows:
  • Set the aircraft with the true heading:
    True heading = MHN + Magnetic declination of the airport (360° + (-3°) = 357°).
     (a) Calculate and record the magnetic deviation (DN) between the MHN and the compass heading (CH) indication shown on the standby compass:
DN = MHN - CH
     (b) The adjustment value (AV) is equal to the DN.
     (c) Correct the CH indication with the AV to get the compensated compass heading.
     (d) Put the SCREWDRIVER WIDTH 2 MM (0,23 IN) - NON MAGNETIC into the NS hole of the standby compass.
     (e) Use the SCREWDRIVER WIDTH 2 MM (0,23 IN) - NON MAGNETIC to set the standby compass to the compensated compass heading.

Example:
       1 If MHN = 360° and CH = 356°
DN = 360° - 356° = +4°
AV = +4
Correct the CH indication of the standby compass with the AV to get the compensated compass heading:
356° + 4 = 360°
       2 If MHN = 0° and CH = 002°
DN = 0° - 2° = -2°
AV = -2°
Correct the CH indication of the standby compass with the AV to get the compensated compass heading:
2° +(-2°) = 0
   (3) Set the aircraft to the Magnetic Heading East (MHE):
     (a) Calculate and record the magnetic deviation (DE) between the MHE and the CH shown on the standby compass:
DE = MHE - CH
     (b) The AV is equal to the DE.
     (c) Correct the CH indication with the AV to get the compensated compass heading.
     (d) Put the SCREWDRIVER WIDTH 2 MM (0,23 IN) - NON MAGNETIC into the EW hole of the standby compass.
     (e) Use the SCREWDRIVER WIDTH 2 MM (0,23 IN) - NON MAGNETIC to set the standby compass to the compensated compass heading (refer to step 4.A.(2) to calculate the AV).
   (4) Set the aircraft to the Magnetic Heading South (MHS):
     (a) Calculate and record the magnetic deviation (DS) between the MHS and the CH shown on the standby compass:
DS = MHS - CH
-------------
! DS !
! AV = -- !
! 2 !
-------------

     (b) Correct the CH indication with the AV to get the compensated compass heading.
     (c) Put the SCREWDRIVER WIDTH 2 MM (0,23 IN) - NON MAGNETIC into the NS hole of the standby compass.
     (d) Use the SCREWDRIVER WIDTH 2 MM (0,23 IN) - NON MAGNETIC to set the standby compass to the compensated compass heading.

Example:
       1 If MHS = 180° and CH = 174°
DS = 180° - 174° = +6°
-----------------------
! DS 6 !
! AV = -- = + - = +3 !
! 2 2 !
-----------------------

Correct the CH indication of the standby compass with the AV to get the compensated compass heading.
174° + 3° = 177°
       2 If MHS = 180° and CH = 182°
DS = 180° - 182° = -2°
-----------------------
! DS 2 !
! AV = -- = - - = -1 !
! 2 2 !
-----------------------

Correct the CH indication of the standby compass with the AV to get the compensated compass heading.
182 + (-1) = 181
   (5) Set the aircraft to the Magnetic Heading West (MHW):
     (a) Calculate and record the magnetic deviation (DW) between the MHW and the CH shown on the standby compass:
DW = MHW - CH
-------------
! DW !
! AV = -- !
! 2 !
-------------

     (b) Correct the CH indication with the AV to get the compensated compass heading.
     (c) Put the SCREWDRIVER WIDTH 2 MM (0,23 IN) - NON MAGNETIC into the EW hole of the standby compass.
     (d) Use the SCREWDRIVER WIDTH 2 MM (0,23 IN) - NON MAGNETIC to set the standby compass to the compensated compass heading (refer to step 4.A.(4) to calculate the AV).

     (e) Use the CE2-40 KEY-CORRECTOR to set the standby compass to the compensated compass heading.

Example:
       1 If MHN = 360° and CH = 356°
DN = 360° - 356° = +4°
AV = +4
Correct the CH indication of the standby compass with the AV to get the compensated compass heading:
356° + 4 = 360°
       2 If MHN = 0° and CH = 002°
DN = 0° - 2° = -2°
AV = -2°
Correct the CH indication of the standby compass with the AV to get the compensated compass heading:
2° +(-2°) = 0
   (2) Set the aircraft to the Magnetic Heading East (MHE):
     (a) Calculate and record the magnetic deviation (DE) between the MHE and the CH indication shown on the standby compass:
DE = MHE - CH
     (b) The AV is equal to the DE.
     (c) Correct the CH indication with the AV to get the compensated compass heading.
     (d) Put the CE2-40 KEY-CORRECTOR into hole B of the standby compass.
     (e) Use the CE2-40 KEY-CORRECTOR to set the standby compass to the compensated compass heading (refer to step 4.B.(1) to calculate AV).
   (3) Set the aircraft to the Magnetic Heading South (MHS):
     (a) Calculate and record the magnetic deviation (DS) between the MHS and the CH indication shown on the standby compass:
DS = MHS - CH
---------------
! DS !
! AV = -- !
! 2 !
---------------

     (b) Correct the CH indication with the AV to get the compensated compass heading.
     (c) Put the CE2-40 KEY-CORRECTOR into hole C of the standby compass.
     (d) Use the CE2-40 KEY-CORRECTOR to set the standby compass to the compensated compass heading.

Example:
       1 If MHS = 180° and CH = 174°
DS = 180° - 174° = +6°
-----------------------
! DS 6 !
! AV = -- = + - = +3 !
! 2 2 !
-----------------------

Correct the CH indication of the standby compass with the AV to get the compensated compass heading:
174° + 3° = 177°
       2 If MHS = 180° and CH = 182°
DS = 180° - 182° = -2°
-----------------------
! DS 2 !
! AV = -- = - - = -1 !
! 2 2 !
-----------------------

Correct the CH indication of the standby compass with the AV to get the compensated compass heading:
182 + (-1) = 181
   (4) Set the aircraft to the Magnetic Heading West (MHW):
     (a) Calculate and record the magnetic deviation (DW) between the MHW and the CH indication shown on the standby compass.
DW = MHW - CH
---------------
! DW !
! AV = -- !
! 2 !
---------------

     (b) Correct the CH indication with the AV to get the compensated compass heading.
     (c) Put the CE2-40 KEY-CORRECTOR into hole B of the standby compass.
     (d) Use the CE2-40 KEY-CORRECTOR to set the standby compass to the compensated compass heading (refer to step 4.B.(3) to calculate the AV).

E. Find the deviation curve
NOTE: The reference magnetic heading is equal to the true heading indication (read on the Control and Display Unit (CDU) of the Air Data/Inertial Reference System (ADIRS)), minus the magnetic variation of the airport (a natural condition which changes continuously). The magnetic variation is given in the approved airport charts.
Magnetic heading = True heading - (Magnetic variation of the airport).
NOTE: During the adjustment procedure, the standby compass turns 360 degrees.
   (1) Make sure that there is no damage to the letters and graduations on the standby compass card.
   (2) Set the aircraft to the 12 magnetic headings, one after the other, to find the deviation curve:
0°, 30°, 60°, 90°, 120°, 150°, 180°, 210°, 240°, 270°, 300°, 330°.
For example, in an airport with a magnetic variation of - 3 degrees (3 degrees West), you must set the aircraft with the true heading on the IR MONITOR page as follows:
Reference values
True Heading read on the ADIRS CDU

357°

240°
237°
270°
267°
300°
297°
330°
327°
To prevent many aircraft maneuvers, a tolerance of one degree is permitted for each heading.
A correction of this tolerance occurs when the standby compass heading is compared with the reference magnetic heading.
   (3) Record the values of the standby compass and of the reference magnetic heading (true heading read on the IRS MONITOR page minus the magnetic variation of the airport) for each aircraft position.
   (4) Calculate the remaining deviation values R(°):
R(°) = Reference Magnetic Heading - Indication of the standby compass.
For example, refer to Table 2 that follows if the magnetic variation of an airport is - 3 degrees (3 degrees West):

   (5) Make sure that:
  • The remaining deviation values R(°) are not more than + or - 8 degrees for each magnetic heading.
  • The maximum range between the positive and negative deviation values R(°) is not more than ten degrees.
  • The difference between each magnetic heading value on the standby compass and the reference magnetic heading is not more than eight degrees. If the difference is more than eight degrees, adjust the compensation.
   (6) On the AIPC 11-31-34-01-010 TWO CORRECTION CARDS (1), in the "To steer" empty field, write To fly(°) - R(°) (Remaining deviation values).
