Am I being overly compulsive about this? Not at all, IMO. I know that everything the magnetic compass tells you has to be verified with all other available information It's the other way around, isn't it? Once you're airborn, the compass is the only thing you have that directly displays your heading. The HI is not much use if you have no way to remove its precession. Are these casual attitudes towards compass accuracy I'm encountering common? I don't know, but to me the compass is as important as any other flight instrument. I definitely want to know which way the nose is pointed. -- Dan C172RG at BFM
