During your cross-country planning you will have to be able to convert from the true course that you measure with your plotter on your sectional or terminal area chart to a magnetic course that has been corrected for magnetic variation. • The conversion is very simple but can be done wrong very easily. In order to convert each checkpoint's true course to a magnetic course you need to find the magnetic variation value for each checkpoint. Luckily, these values are on your charts! The magnetic variation values are found on charts on lines that we call Isogonic lines. The Isogonic line is a dashed magenta line labeled with the value of magnetic variation for that line. In the video's example, our cross-country goes through two Isogonic lines. One labeled 11 degrees 45 minutes East and another labeled 12 degrees East. • The most important part of determining the magnetic variation for your checkpoint is getting the sign (positive or negative) correct on the Isogonic. East is always negative and West is always positive. A good way to remember this is East is least and West is best. In our example, we fly through East Isogonics which means the variation value is negative. • When an Isogonic line has minutes, this can be converted to decimal simply by dividing the minutes by 60. In the example, 11 degrees 45' East... the 45' can be converted to decimal by 45/60 = 0.75 such that the total value of the variation is 11.75. BUT remember this is East so the value is negative or -11.75. • Once you have your variations for each checkpoint and the correct sign for those variations the conversion is simple. Simply add your magnetic variation to your true course to get your magnetic course. So if we had a true course of 260 degrees and a variation of 10 degrees 30' E our equation would be as follows: Magnetic Course = 260 + (-10.5) = 260 - 10.5 = 249.5 degrees. • If you have any questions, please comment below. • โฝ๏ธโฝ๏ธโฝ๏ธโฝ๏ธโฝ๏ธโฝ๏ธ • ๐ฉ๏ธ To get ALL our Video Lessons plus Written Lessons, Quizzes, Audio Lessons, eBooks, Test Prep books, Flash Cards, Practice Tests Live Lessons with myself you can join our • Online Ground School here: https://parttimepilot.com/private-pil... • ๐ฉ๏ธ Checkride Prep: https://parttimepilot.com/private-pil... • ๐ FREE COURSE Facebook Group: • We are trying to tackle the problem of flight training expenses head on.
