The northern hemisphere, magnetic compass will normally indicate a turn towards the north if -
Answer An aircraft is accelerated while on an east or west heading
In the northern hemisphere, the magnetic compass will indicate - Answer Correctly, when
accelerating or decelerating on a north or south heading
Which statement is correct using the magnetic compass, when turning to a southerly, heading in
the northern hemisphere - Answer The aircraft should be allowed to pass the desired,
heading and then stop
What should be the indication on the magnetic compass as you roll into a standard right turn to
the right from a south heading in the northern hemisphere - Answer The compass will
indicate a turn to the right, but at a faster rate, then is actually occurring
