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.

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.

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.)

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.
