GFA MOSP 3 States:
6. SAILPLANE MINIMUM EQUIPMENT AND PLACARDING
6.1. MINIMUM EQUIPMENT
6.1.1. Each Sailplane must have certain minimum equipment, and that
equipment must meet
appropriate standards.
The minimum equipment for all Australian Registered Sailplanes is:
a. One Air Speed Indicator (ASI) calibrated in knots. The instrument must be
able to
indicate at least 20 knots above the manufacturer's Maximum Allowable Speed
in
Smooth Air (VNE). The ASI must be in full view of the pilot in command;
b. One altimeter calibrated in feet, and with its QNH sub-scale calibrated
in
Hectopascals;
c. Magnetic compass;
Seems fairly clear to me that all gliders need to have a compass
fitted. Whether you use it is up to you.

Not sure that there are any, it is required to be installed, not
consulted:-)

Compasses?
Oh yes, I remember looking at one once in a glider. About early 1993 when we
just had GPS and on that leg the turnpoint was bearing 145 degrees or so
from where I was. There wasn't a lot of wind so I I looked at the compass to
see that it also said 145 when the nose was pointed at the turnpoint.
Amazing!
They don't even bother to swing these things in bugsmashers nowadays.
Without a swing (calibration) they mean little.
