Compass Correction Card
I believe AC 43.13B can give you a little guidance on that matter.
AC 43.13-1B lists several instances when a compass swing must be
performed. These include:
Whenever the accuracy of the compass is suspected
After a cockpit modification or major replacement involving ferrous
metal
Whenever a compass has been subjected to a shock; for example, after a
hard landing or turbulence
After aircraft has passed through a severe electrical storm
After a lightning strike
Whenever a change is made to the electrical system
Whenever a change of cargo is likely to affect the compass
After an aircraft has been parked on one heading for more than a year
When flux valves are replaced.
An often overlooked matter amongst us aviation technicians.
