RTCA DO-160 - Magnetic Effect Testing, outlined in Section 15, helps manufacturers ensure their equipment doesn't interfere with aircraft magnetic compasses. While it may seem straightforward, our experts have a few tips to help you ace it: ✅ The test involves positioning the unit near a compass until the needle moves 1 degree, determining the interference distance. ✅ For smaller equipment, the setup is simple. But larger systems like hydraulic pumps require careful planning - reach out to an EMI test lab for guidance. ✅ Finding compasses that accurately show 1-degree movement can be tricky. Verify the accuracy of your lab's compasses. ✅ Interestingly, this test isn't truly an EMI test but is included in this section. Leverage our expertise to navigate RTCA DO-160 testing with confidence. https://ow.ly/jk4250RO6Eq #AerospaceTesting #RTCA #DO160 #EMITesting #MagneticEffect #ElementInPQT
