If you have a compass, all instruments are not dead.

Well duh, it's a magnetic compass in a fluid.

Not after Ken drinks the fluid, of course.

However, that won't be enough in IMC.

Is for me.


Oh please do go out and fly instruments with just a whiskey compass,
fjukktard, Please make sure it's not a good airplane you take with you
to the grave.

Maintaining altitude is "seat of pants" thing, so
what? Set cruise RPM and feel airspeed.

That isn't possible.

Sure it is.
As long as you're not accelerating, which is something
that can be sensed by audio RPM , the magnetic
compass can operate as an artificial horizon too,
because it's like a plumb-bob.
It's of course, independant of operating systems.


Heeeee Haaaw!
