I have the Precision Vertical Card compass. They are out of Chicago IL. There unit is FAA certified and I beloieve it is standard equipment in Pipers and several other aircraft.
As far as working with the company that makes them. I have had a great experience with them. I wanted to mount mine back in the panel. The problem was that ther was magnetic interference with it in the panel. I made several phone calls to them and I believe I worked with a guy named John. They spent the time to help out me and my several year old compass and how to resolve my issue. The fix was installing magnetic compass shielding and they even recommended who I could get it from. I could not give a higher recommendation for a company and their product. Jeff York Lexington, KY.

I ordered one from AS a long time ago. It was the cheap one. It took forever to be delivered because it was back ordered for a long time. When it arrived, it did not work. I think they are usually very good if you spend the money. I did not want to spend that much money and am using the old air path. > > From: Serge VIDAL <[email protected]> > Date: 2006/04/26 Wed AM 09:02:42 CDT > To: KRnet <[email protected]> > Subject: KR> Vertical Card Compass > > Has anybody got experience (good or bad) with Vertical Card Compasses? > > (Fore those who are not familiar with them, these are new type of > compasses that are proposes as a replacement for traditional oil-filled > compasses.
