1) He showed me disassembled instruments when describing how each works
(how well can most of us explain how an altimeter really works inside,
I thought a mag compass was ball shaped )


I always thought it was worthwhile to show an instrument student a
disassembled compass. Once he sees how the counterweight works to
compensate for the vertical component of the magnetic field, turning
errors are obvious - as well as why there are no turning errors while
taxiing. Accelerationa and deceleration errors are equally obvious.

Calling Jay, calling Jay. Disassembled instruments would be way cool in
your aviation themed motel.
