Ozrunways - Magnetic Variation

[aj_richo]

Forgive me... I'm new to Ozrunways, but does the Flight Planner automatically input magnetic variation from map data or somewhere, and can you see what has been applied to crosscheck?

Hi Aj - yes I have found in the flight plan that the Track given is in degrees magnetic. I can't remember if there is anything to indicate what correction has been made or from where, but i went through an entire flight plan manually with my chart and protractor and came up wtih the same results, so i was satisfied they were done correctly.

No worries - thanks Ayavner, its a trust thing ha ha

Definitely understandable!! I'd hate to be 12 degrees off when flying near the control steps!! better safe than sorry.

It is calculated automatically based on your location, you can select it to be visible on the toolbar across the top when you have a plan active, just hold your finger on the bar and wait until the options come up mag var is one of the optional displays
