Hello fellow pilots!
Just spent about thirty minutes trying and re-trying to calibrate compass at the Savannah River Walk to try and get that gorgeous sunset behind the bridge, but repeatedly the compass calibration would fail due to magnetic interference. I moved multiple times, away from the walk to the blacktop parking lot, but each time, fail. It calibrated twice, but after taking off and flying about ten feet, the compass would have an error and require me to either fly in ATTI mode or land and recalibrate compass. Obviously I'm not stoked on flying in ATTI over a river, so just landed.
Anyone know if the River Walk is built on metal or old trolley tracks?
Anyway, just a heads up if anyone is planning on going there. I'm just passing through on a commercial shoot.
