True Mike very true, unless
You have a total short whilst in cloud that fry's everything else.
I that case you are going to thank Christ (or what ever your mythical friend is
) your old instructor taught you ONUS.
Unless you have a AHARS GPS the update rate is way to slow to fly limited panel
on.

Obsolete instrument mandated by the Regulator. In gliders mainly used to fill
instrument hole that could be used for something useful.
In high wing powered aircraft can be used as attach point for pair of fluffy
dice which are about as useful.

Hi Chris,
There are a few methods but the easiest is as follows...
1. Using a master compass (a good bush walking compass will do) align the
glider North South. (This should be done well away from any hangars with power
on and instruments running) Using a non magnetic screwdriver, adjust the
compass to North.
2. Align the glider to South using the master compass and halve the error.
3. Repeat in East West.
4. Align the glider to all the cardinal headings (ie, every 30 degrees)
and record the indicated heading.
5. Complete the correction card.
Using this method you should be able to get to within 2 degrees on every
heading (not always but usually).
Regards,
Tom

Hi sailplane drivers.
Has any one got a procedure for swinging glider compasses, or a link to a
web article would be good?
Many thanks
