Never said it had anything to do with magnetic interference it has to do with geo location and its return the home standing next to a metal structure interfers with that. Try it with a compass and see if you can find your bearings further l said flight session not each flight
Each person has their own procedures l was taught to carry out the check as part of my Certification rightly or wrongly.
I suspect as we are in the UK it may be different to the US. I do know the CAA provide the trainers with the requirements for certification.That's fine, but the amount of misinformation I've seen from allegedly professional trainers is disappointingly high. It's worth keeping an open enough mind to consider that they can be wrong - especially on the more technical aspects where they don't really understand the science.

I will agree to disagree as l said everyone has a procedure for startup. If you dont feel you don't have to do it thats fine by me.What may be different? If you mean the quality of trainers, maybe. Either way, what you were taught is incorrect.

It is always good practice to run a compass calibration before each flight session. ... Doing so will avoid complications during flights.
It's even better practice to understand what compass calibration really does (and doesn't do).as l said everyone has a procedure for startup.
That confirms that you've been trained by someone that has no idea of what compass calibration actually does.it has to do with geo location and its return the home standing next to a metal structure interfers with that.
