For what it's worth, a small $5 car compass satisfied my DAR. I use the superior heading info on my gps to navigate in flight ( no precession, no deviation, not influenced by extraneous electrical fields). Peter

Oh, and this discussion reminds me of a funny story. I work at a big marine show in New Orleans every year and a lot of the companies that have booths at the show give away pens, coozies, etc, with their logo on it. One year Sperry Marine, which is the inventor of the gyrocompass and they sell

What I said was what I was taught many decades ago, not an inference. If you know otherwise, so be it. I have no intention to get into a pi--ing contest with anyone over this or anything else. I am not the FAA.

KR> Possible replacement for a whiskey compass?

I also almost never look at my compass, but keep in mind that when ATC tells you to turn to a heading they are referring to a magnetic heading, not course, which is what you are getting from the GPS. Here in FL they are pretty close, flying in Alaska, not so much. Original Message

KR> Possible replacement for a whiskey compass?

The device is a flux gate compass. I would think that the FAA would want something that does not require power at all. That is kind of the point of having a magnetic compass. Since it is battery powered you might be able to get away with it, but I would think carrying an extra battery and

The device whose ad I originally posted l is battery powered. Am I right to assume that qualifies as "no external power? " I was planning to have no conventional instruments, but to replace the fight instruments wirh a Dynon EFIS, which has a dedicated battery backup. (By the time I'm ready

Larry: I was replying to Dan H's post re: magnetometers as alternate, and should have made that clear. The comment "(dry)" was with respect to the "whiskey" qualifier in the subject line, and "wet" referred to the dampening agent used in the typical "whiskey" compass. What I said was what I

I have just spent over an hour searching for information on 3, and my conclusion is that a magnetometer qualifies for this purpose. Does anyone think otherwise? See N64KR at http://KRBuilder.org - Then click on the pics 2015 KR Gathering - McMinnville, OR.

KR> Possible replacement for a whiskey compass?

My understanding is that the intent of a (wet) compass requirement is as a last resort/emergency/always available navigation tool - with the fluid serving as a dampening influence compared to a dry compass with no dampening. In order for any other type to qualify, there must be no external

I've been looking at things to replace my Anywheremap ATC for quite a while. I haven't been flying much the last couple years but my trip to Oregon has re-invigorated my level of enthusiasm so am again looking at a replacement for my ATC. The database is way out of date and no updates are
