Compass-Rose Painting
The Scioto Valley Chapter of the Ninety-Nines uses the basic design of the compass rose prepared by the Air Marking Chairman of the North-Central Section of the 99s, revised March, 1988, from a design made earlier by the Three Rivers Chapter.
The Scioto Valley Chapter modified the procedure of the layout, but kept the design itself nearly unchanged. We made some minor adjustments in the logo of the interlocking nines for a more accurate rendition of the official logo, and re-depicted the logo within a rectangular grid centered on the origin of the compass rose. Also, we request the surveyor to mark magnetic directions every 30 degrees around the circle, eliminating some difficult geometrical constructions which were required when only the North line was surveyed.
The Scioto Valley Chapter has used these procedures since 1990, and has been quite successful in producing very striking compass roses at numerous airports in central Ohio, New Mexico, and Colorado.

Click here for a printable copy of the stencils. The Scioto and Valley stencils should be printed on separate sheets of paper and cut carefully with an X-Acto style of knife. You may need to print a current "year" stencil. The year page was created in Microsoft Word, using a landscape layout and minimum-allowable margins, with the type-font of "Stencil" at 325-point size.
