There's a few varios with that capability.

A computer with moving map that shows
magnetic bearing should also satisfy this

The chance that a Transport Canada
inspector would make a fuss over a

to zilch, but the guy who signs your
annual needs some coverage.


"There's a few varios with that capability." Most interesting point...so if you have an LX80XX or LX90XX you could add the LX Magnetic compass module (expensive) and meet the Flight Manual requirement. http://www.lxnav.com/accessories/compass.html

What other varios?
