	Airplane - MSN Encarta
		Airplane pilots rely on a set of instruments in the cockpit to monitor airplane systems, to control the flight of the aircraft, and to navigate.
		The compass is the simplest of these, but many airplanes now employ satellite navigation systems and computers to navigate from any point on the globe to another without any help from the ground.
		Carrier-based airplanes are a specially modified type of land plane designed for takeoff from and landing aboard naval aircraft carriers.

	Compass - MSN Encarta
		Two fundamental types of compass are used: the magnetic compass, which probably originated in ancient China; and the gyrocompass, a device developed at the beginning of the 20th century.
		The gyrocompass, which is unaffected by the magnetism of the earth, consists of a gyroscope, with the spinning wheel on an axis confined to the horizontal plane so that its axle aligns itself with the north-south line parallel to the axis of the rotation of the earth, thereby indicating true north.
		The ordinary mariner’s compass is unreliable in aircraft because of the errors introduced by sudden turns and acceleration of the plane.

	Airplane compass turns - Education - Information - Educational Resources - Encyclopedia - Music
		Airplane compass turns used in an aircraft are generally used when other directional instruments have failed such as the directional gyro Aircraft attitude.
		The polarization of the magnetic force causes the compass to be attracted to the North Pole.
		The first error of a compasses construction is the balancing bowls pin which is connected to a pivot point which only allows for, in most compasses, a pitch or bank of 18 degrees before the compass will touch the side of the casing.

	Pilot's Web The Aviators' Journal - Magnetism and the magnetic copmass
		A magnetic compass is an instrument that measures the direction relative to the magnetic north pole.
		At the magnetic equator, the attraction of the compass needle towards the north and south poles is equal and the needle remains unbiased.
		As the airplane turns, the force that results from the magnetic dip causes the float assembly to swing in the same direction that the float turns.

	NSTA - DIN Vocabulary (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		The azimuth is the angle of the compass rose around the horizon from the north pole through the east, south, and west to the north again.
		Compass rose - a star-like drawing of the points of a compass showing north, east, south, and west with the other divisions that form the 'box" of the compass.
		The Earth also is a magnet, and on a magnetic compass, the needle is attracted toward the North Pole of the earth.

	5-5
		A timed turn is a turn in which the clock and the turn coordinator are used to change heading a definite number of degrees in a given time.
		If the airplane turns more or less than 30° in that interval, a larger or smaller deflection of the miniature aircraft of the turn coordinator is necessary to produce a standard-rate turn.
		Turning in the wrong direction, due either to misreading or misinterpretation of the heading indicator or to confusion as to location of points on the compass.

	AOPA Online - Instrument Insights Part 1 of 12
		The attitude indicator, turn coordinator, heading indicator, and magnetic compass can help to resolve it — although many would say that the magnetic compass is all but useless in anything other than turbulence-free conditions.
		Let's also say that your heading indicator is showing a turn to the right at the same time, but your turn coordinator and magnetic compass are showing you wings level.
		When you are turning through southerly points of the compass, the magnetic compass' indications will shoot past your actual heading.

		The distance between airplanes will be such that the nose of each succeeding airplane is slightly to the rear of the tail of the airplane ahead.
		Turn master switch and battery switches "OFF" after operation of necessary electrical equipment such as flaps, radio, gear, landing lights, etc., when it is certain that there will be no further need for the operating engines.
		As airplane commander, your first responsibility is to be sure that your crew is thoroughly trained, by regular ground drill, in the proper procedure for bailing out of the B-17.

	Northerly Turning Error
		In a coordinated turn, the compass, like the occupants of the airplane, feels an effective gravitational force down the vertical axis of the airplane, which banks the compass card with the airplane, out of the horizontal.
		Suppose for instance, an airplane (in the Northern Hemisphere) is in a coordinated turn, as illustrated in Figure 2, which depicts the situation where the airplane is currently heading North or South.
		The compass appears to be mechanically ``stuck'', but in reality its needle is just pointing down towards the low wing, attracted by the downward component of the earth's field.

	Structure of Airplane
		The empennage, commonly called the tail assembly, is the rear section of the body of the airplane.
		These are also known on the 360 degree compass as: 360 degrees (north), 90 degrees (east), 180 degrees (south), and 270 degrees (west).
		All compass needles point towards a large mass of magnetic rock which is in the earth not far from the North Pole.

		It powered the airplane pretty well but it was prone to overheating with its cast-iron cylinders because you weren't moving very quickly.
		Since his light airplane was often thrown about by wind close to the ground, Blériot designed landing gear that could pivot, allowing his craft to turn slightly into the wind yet keep rolling in the direction of the runway.
		And the reason for that was so that the airplane could still land at an angle and the wheels would track whatever direction you were going.

		It means if an airplane lands from the SW heading NE on runway 5 the magnetic compass in the airplane would be showing about 050° for the heading.
		Pilots also use the saying "North lags and the south leads." This serves to remind pilots that if he or she turns the airplane from a northerly course the compass first indicates a turn in the opposite direction, then lags behind the actual compass heading.
		The compass indicates a turn to the north.

	Calibrating a Compass and Calculating TAS using GPS
		The idea is that you fly an airplane at a fixed power setting on three different legs and record the track and speed from the GPS.
		The idea of swinging a compass is to correct for deviation caused by the aircraft.
		Thus, by swinging a compass to a compass rose painted on the pavement, the variable that is eliminated is the deviation caused by the aircraft.

	Welcome to Fergworld, a flying and aviation extravaganza!
		When you turn in an 8710, it's usually the result of weeks or months of work; and the form itself is simply a precursor to a practical exam of some kind, which required advance study and preparation.
		I'll be flying several airplanes - initially, the Citation 500 and Lear 35; followed by the Citation III; and ultimately, on a TBD timescale, the Falcon 50.
		She was supposed to turn east after scything up through Florida's gut, but of course she didn't, and 40 knot winds were forecast for Columbus, where the airplane was tied down (no hangars avaiable.) My good friend Eric McLeod came to the rescue, already being in the area ferrying AO's airplanes.
