Using GPS vs. Compass to set Heading Indicator
Asked by: Chet 5473 views General Aviation, Private Pilot
While in flight is it smart, legal or just not a good idea to change your heading indicator based on your GPS heading? I was taught to use the compass but based on how you have to be level and because it moves 2 to 3 degrees either way it seems like using the GPS heading would be more accurate.
