Description
The reason for this message could be due to a faulty/damaged compass module, a compass that is not properly calibrated, or if you are flying in a high interference area.
Types of interference often include Wi-Fi routers, high-voltage lines, large metal structures, buildings, bridges, and railroads.
You can typically expect to experience more interference in an urban environment.
If your flight app prompts you to perform a compass calibration, please do so in a safe area, free of interference.

Since it has been replaced I now get a Compass Error every now and again. Further testing it appears that it happens when I am in S Mode and flying at max speed, the nose dips in flight and the compass error message appears and when I reduce speed it clears and all is fine. When operating in P mode it is fine obviously because the nose does not dip as far as it does in S mode.
