A

080 degrees magnetic.

27
Q

What is true altitude?

A

The vertical distance of the aircraft above sea level.

28
Q

Deviation in a magnetic compass is caused by the

A

magnetic fields within the aircraft distorting the lines of magnetic force.

29
Q

At what altitude shall the altimeter be set to 29.92, when climbing to cruising flight level?

A

18,000 feet MSL.

30
