Twice now, in different parts of the lake I fly over a lot, I've suddenly had a warning come up saying compass error and then it's automatically switched to ATTI mode.
Weirdly it was a different part of the lake each time, but then it didn't do it again at those same places on any other flight.
This is a relatively small man made lake with nothing under the surface except what was once a grassy area I walked the dog on years ago. So there's no sunken city or ships under there.
Being big open grassy fields around the shore, it's normally what I would consider a safe place to do the compass calibration, so a few weeks ago when it said it wanted a calibration I did one there without any metal on me. So it should have been ok.
I generally only do calibrations when asked to. So I don't think I've done one elsewhere during the period in which the errors occurred.
Gotta say the heart sure skips a beat when you suddenly get a mid-flight error message!
Many more of them and I'm going to need a heart transplant.
