Default Airplane's compass mag dev

So in order to find the calculated compass heading what deviation would
be used if for example your magnetic heading is 075 degrees?


In theory you should use linear interpolation. In practice no one I know
even bothers. You can't steer that precisely anyways and such precision
would only be useful for dead reckoning...hello NDB/VOR/GPS? But to pass the
test you should know how it's supposed to be done.
