Default allowable compass error...

My FARAIM is at my daughter's house and I can't find anything on the 'net to
answer my questions. Please indulge me....

Scenario:
1) line up with runway centerline[for my hypothetical, the runway is
dead nuts to the compass]
2) note compass heading
3) add/subtract compass card correction

Questions:
1) How much error is allowable between known heading and corrected
compass reading?
2) Does a significant error down the airplane as unworthy?
3) Where can I find applicable references?
