Im so glad you brought this up...we all know about the 0, 10, 20, 30 degree trick for doing htem....so i teach this guy in his 182 and i felt like an idiot cuz the numbers didnt work...what we were able to do was do it enough times to get the right numbers (mostly)...so north and the 30 degree marks are a 20 degree error, while the 60 is like 10 degrees, and E/W still being zero (south, same deal). I do agree though that sometimes the numbers just dont work...5 degrees error is ok, but sometimes it was like 10 or so...

So a question on a question....Can you not do compass turns with a vertical card?
