I really have no clue why anyone would
tolerate a whiskey compass in an IFR airplane.


In my case, it's because I know of two occasions where VCC installations
failed. In each instance the hysteresis error of the compass sometimes
exceeded 10 degrees and none of the fixes proposed by the mfr. helped.

I hate whiskey compasses. If you have any insights into how to achieve
happiness with a VCC, I would be interested to read them.
