I'll remember this the next time someone here claims to be a qualified pilot.

OK, before I get flamed, I know that the compass needle always points to
magnetic north ...


Actually it always aligns with the magnetic field in which it is placed, which
often means that it points roughly to magnetic north, but not always, as the
geomagnetic field is quite irregular.

No, simply an accepted means of saving bandwidth. You snipped everything
except my reply and the sentence that immediately preceded it. Why would it
be dishonest for me, but not for you?

Why did you do this?


See above.

Is this another example of how you practice the Golden Rule?


Yes.

First, show how I snipped your reply and the sentence that immediately
preceded it.

Also, show where I claimed that I followed this so-called "Golden Rule."
*You're* the one who made this claim, not me.

Also, show where I claimed that it *WASN'T* dishonest for me to do so.
If you're being dishonest, then according to the Golden Rule, you should
be perfectly content with me being dishonest also.

Also, your "accepted means of saving bandwidth" is merely a dishonest
dodge in an attempt to cover up your dishonesty, while bleating on and
on about how honest you really are. Why do you feel this need to be
so dishonest?

Why did you do this?


See above.


See what above?

Is this another example of how you practice the Golden Rule?


Yes.


It shows. But if this is such an example, then you have no cause to
complain about the treatment you receive here, as it is consistent with
the responses you get in many of the Usenet forums in which you, um,
"participate."

But your altitude is much more important than ground track.


You cannot find your altitude with a compass alone.

Why not three.


Three adds mostly redundancy rather than any additional functionality in
lateral navigation.

But it powers NO electronics in the plane.


The assertion was that there was no electricity. I've demonstrated this
assertion to be incorrect if the aircraft is powered by a typical
reciprocating gasoline engine.


You haven't demonstrated anything but your ignorance.
