Magnetic heading and course error on the flight plan (kneeboard)


Recommended Posts

Hello,

I've noticed differences between the course and heading displayed on the flight plan and what is measured on the F10 map.

In the example below:

Start Point -> B1:
  Navplan: Course(T)= 286° - Heading (M) = 294°
  Map F10: Course(T)= 280° - Heading (M) = 287°

B1 -> B2:
  Navplan: Course(T)= 077° - Heading (M) = 084°
  Map F10: Course(T)= 071° - Heading (M) = 078°

B2 -> B3:
  Navplan: Course(T)= 355° - Heading (M) = 003°
  Map F10: Course(T)= 349° - Heading (M) = 356°


The difference is between 6 and 7°.
This corresponds to the magnetic declination, which is 6.7° on this part of the map.

On the Syria map, the difference is between 4° and 5° , the magnetic declination is 5°.

So there is a correlation with magnetic declination, which seems to be incorrectly taken into account.
