There should be a parameter associated to allow users and manufacturers to disable it.\r\nIf it is enabled with no disabling option there will be a lot of people inadvertently activating it and increasing the APM complexity perception.\r\n\r\nRef Pull\r\nhttps://github.com/ArduPilot/ardupilot/pull/5061\r\n\r\n#### Version\r\n\r\n\r\n#### Platform\r\n[X] All\r\n[  ] AntennaTracker\r\n[  ] Copter\r\n[  ] Plane\r\n[  ] Rover\r\n\r\n#### Airframe type\r\n\r\n\r\n#### Hardware type\r\n\r\n\r\n#### Logs\r\n\r\n\r\n"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/ArduPilot/ardupilot/issues/comments/257059948","html_url":"https://github.com/ArduPilot/ardupilot/issues/5062#issuecomment-257059948","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/ArduPilot/ardupilot/issues/5062","id":257059948,"user":{"login":"rmackay9","id":1498098,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/1498098?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/rmackay9","html_url":"https://github.com/rmackay9","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/rmackay9/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/rmackay9/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/rmackay9/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/rmackay9/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/rmackay9/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/rmackay9/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/rmackay9/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/rmackay9/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/rmackay9/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-10-29T00:46:38Z","updated_at":"2016-10-29T00:46:38Z","body":"I agree wjax that we need to keep KISS in mind... we definitely do at times.. there are at least a couple of changes in the past few months that we haven't put in because they appear to be quite complex and would only be used by a tiny tiny fraction of users.\r\n\r\nI've also agree that the compass calibration should not, in general, be needed very often.  Even moving continents shouldn't mean a compass calibration is required because the \"declination\" is looked up from a small on-board database, the \"inclination\" is captured at start-up and again early in flight.\r\n\r\nAnyway, it's in now, let's see how many people actually accidentally trigger it before we put a patch in to protect against this.  We have this sort-of-golden-rule (at least in copter) that we don't fix a problem unless we're sure we actually have the problem.\r\n"}}
