Quick question. Is it okay to do a compass calibration while the IMU, and aircraft for that matter, is in its warm up process?
As redhotpoker states, there's no need to recalibrate the compass unless you travel 100+ miles from your last flight. The controller will usually tell you to recalibrate the compass when needed, but not all the time.Okay, on screen the IMU Warming Up blinks yellow for a few seconds. Then it says Aircraft Warming Up. Then I get the Green Safe to Fly indicator.
If I needed to do a compass calibration, do I wait until I get the green light?
Then...this raises the whole calibration process as a whole. I have been doing it whenever I depart a new location from the last time I flew.
