Default ILS approach and VOR Alpha Approach video

I am curious about this. *I would have expected TRK to be far too lagged and
imprecise to be useful in keeping the shiny side up.

TRK is nice for when the DG is dead of covered, of course, but I use the TC for
bank. *I'll have to try it next time I fly.


TC obviously used in training for secondary instrumentation, but mine
is in the faaaaaaaar lower left corner of my panel, which really
extends the real estate of my scan.

So, figured trk would work best for me since that would be my headings
anyway rather then my wet compass.

My wet compass is a vertical card that hangs from the top of the
windscreen, while great for verifying the DG, not so great when I
don't want to make too much head movement in my scanning process
especially during my approach phase when I do my IFR briefing of the
approach plate.'

Truth be known, I really didn't notice the lag, but if it was there, I
didn't get any complaints from ATC when given my assigned headings for
my approaches.
