When will true headings be used?
Never, I hope, as it would render the whisky compass as a reliable
navigation aid near to useless.
Eventually, the magnetic poles will move so far that every station and
aircraft everywhere will have to be recalibrated to account for it,
and all charts will have to be changed.
I'm hoping you fly with the newest maps.
Mxs doesn't fly except in the back of an Airbus or with a computer
monitor/Microsoft flight simulator. Take his remarks in that context.
And the poles occasionally reverse,
Occasionally... :-)))
