Yes. understand.
If the compass is within 10 degrees that is Ok for dead reckoning.
Magnetic variation is more than that here in Victoria.

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.

The magnetic variation is taken into account in flight planning ( that is what
is meant by magnetic heading) so the compass is still meant to be swung and
accurate.

Re compass swinging
thanks for all the responses, two of which were useful!
and to those that asked why ? the answer is its a stipulation when putting
a new glider on the Australian register !
Kind Regards

I agree with Mike. In 2015 is a compass necessary? It probably was in 2015 BC
and has probably been mandated ever since. It is on the minimum equipment list
for most (all?) aircraft and that needs to be challenged. Why mandate? If you
or your company wants one OK, but don't mandate it for

Hey, don't diss compasses. Used in conjunction with a straight edge they
can do much more than really good circles...

Hi Mike
Could you clarify the following please :
You do need to display the nationality mark VH- as well as the
registration letters
According to GFA AN84 Para 1.1 the VH is not required if operating inside
Australia ?
Many thanks

Niall this is correct.
Underside markings on a wing is only required if operating outside of
Australia or if being flown in a world championship event (I think).
See GFA AN 84 for confirmation of this also.
Regards Grant.

You are correct that at present there is no requirement for registration
markings under the wings on any aircraft below 5700 kg MTOW operated in
Australia. The exemption was renewed in 2012 and falls due again at the
end of this month: since I am not aware of any formal

My understanding of this page

is that the only requirement for markings on a glider is letters of
at least 150mm high on the sides. None on the undersides of the wings.
