Accepted Answer

After an aircraft has passed through a severe electrical storm, or has been struck by lightning

Answer

Before every flight involving a large change of magnetic latitude, even when compass accuracy and magnetic deviation are unchanged.

Answer

Whenever an aircraft carries a large freight load regardless of its content

Answer

After retuning a radio to another frequency, with no change to its installation or the aircraft electrical system.

Question 7

Where on a Direct Mercator projection is the chart convergency correct compared to the earth convergency?

Accepted Answer

At the equator.

Answer

At the poles.

Answer

At the two parallels of tangency.

Answer

All over the chart.

Question 8

How does the convergency of any two meridians on the Earth change with varying latitude?

Accepted Answer

It changes as sine of latitude
