Overview:

• Error terms model permanent magnetization

• Fixed value term contributes uncertainty even at north/south

• Arbitrary term values
    – Therefore BHA must be evaluated for compliance with model Therefore BHA must be evaluated for compliance with model

• Weighting function models attitude sensitivity

• ISCWSA terms ISCWSA terms
     – Uncertainty is not location dependent
     – Therefore spacing requirement is location dependent

• Alternative term
     – Uncertainty is location dependent
     – Therefore sp gq acin requirement is not location dependent
     – Compliance more likely?

• Single spacing option is restrictive

• Survey QC tests should include model Survey QC tests should include model s’ DSI contribution DSI contribution

• ISCWSA terms result in QC tests that catch out ISCWSA terms result in QC tests that catch out-of-spec Az spec Az, but not out-of-spec condition

• ISCWSA terms reduce QC sensitivity at low inc and N/S

• QC tests derived from alternative term catch out-of-spec condition but can trip with insignificant Az error condition, but can trip with insignificant Az error
