Procedure E: Magnetometer Interference Test
This procedure validates that no electronic device is interfering with the operation of the
GMU 44 magnetometer which directly impacts the determination of attitude and heading by the
GRS 77 AHRS. Calibration Procedures A-1 through D are not required prior to this execution of
this procedure.

item on the checklist instructs the operator to “prepare a detailed
test sequence with precise start and stop times for exercising all electronic
devices”. Only the electronic devices that are likely to affect the operation
of the GMU 44 magnetometer need be included in the test sequence. The
list of relevant electronic devices will vary from aircraft to aircraft. An
example of an appropriate test sequence is given in Table 7-2.
