SECTION 4 OPERATION IMPORTANT: THE UNIT IS NOT APPROVED FOR FLIGHT UNTIL IT HAS BEEN CONFIGURED FULLY USING THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS SECTION! This section contains information on how to configure the aircraft specific requirements available with the MD302 SAM Standby Attitude Module. This includes critical flight parameters that contribute to the safe and certified operation of the unit and the aircraft.
Panel Roll is specified in units of degrees from { 5.0 } to { -5.0 }. This compensates for minor roll error in the installation. Fractions of a degree may be entered, but will be rounded to 0.5° increments. The defaults are shown in the above example. If any parameters are omitted from the file, the configuration unit will retain its current setting.

Procedure 1. Prepare the flash drive. a. On an empty, FAT32 formatted flash drive create a file named “mc_magc.dat”. b. Use a text editor to place the following two lines in the file: INCLINATION_ANGLE=45.000 MAG_ORIENTATION=0 c. Replace the inclination angle in the file with the correct inclination angle (in degrees) for your calibration location with up to 3 decimal places.
SECTION 5 CONFORMANCE INSTRUCTIONS FOR CONTINUED AIRWORTHINESS Pressure System and Altimeter Verification Per federal regulation 14 CFR 91.411, it is required that each static pressure system and each altimeter have been tested and inspected within the last twenty-four (24) months. Software Updates Mid-Continent will have, on occasion, the need to update the software of the MD302 to maintain, improve and/or enhance functionality or performance.
