Direction Measuring System Requirements

In plain language

If your drone uses a direction-measuring system that does not rely on the Earth's magnetic field, CAAS advises that the system must still display the direction adjusted for local magnetic deviation.

Requirement as structured

CAAS states that direction measuring systems not reliant on the earth's magnetic field must provide an indication that includes the appropriate magnetic deviation for the position.

Original regulatory text

For direction measuring system that is not reliant upon the earth’s magnetic field, the system should meet the requirements in sub-paragraph (ii) and provides indication with inclusion of the position appropriate magnetic deviation.
