Because of the way a compass is mounted, it will briefly tend to continue moving after a turn. Yes. So? Um... no! The compass does not "briefly tend to continue moving after a turn" but it has a well defined turn error, which should more accurately be called bank error. If you understand this error, you can tell your heading at each moment during the whole turn. Stefan |

Stefan,
Because of the way a compass is mounted, it will briefly tend to continue moving after a turn. Yes. So? Um... no! The compass does not "briefly tend to continue moving after a turn" but it has a well defined turn error, Please! Not you, too! Your "well defined turn error" does indeed lead to the fact that the compass "willbriefly tend to continue moving after a turn." Which is why I said yes to affirm that statement. -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH) |

Which is why I said yes to affirm that statement. Ah, but no! Turn to the right and level your wings at 270°, and I accept every bet that your compass will *not* continue to move. (Other than shake with the turbulence, of course, and provided your bank angle allowed it to move at all in the first place.) In fact, it has stopped to move well before reaching 270°. Shall I add the second example? (Nitpicking, but what else would you expect in r.a.p.) Stefan |

Stefan,
(Nitpicking, but what else would you expect in r.a.p.) Have you read this thread? The one big smart*ss in it is more than enough, thank you very much. No need to add to it. -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH) |
