I have yet to see this mechanical style compass survive... Someone
always lays something up on the glare shield that is steel, while either working on the aircraft, or simply loading/unloading and that is all it takes... The compass continues working after a fashion, but is unreliable... If you don't want to go back to a traditional compass, perhaps a SIRS Navigator might suffice... denny
