Note: Compass deviation card is included. The Precision Vertical Card Compass for todays aircraft. It is a dry compass, designed to replace the float/liquid type compass -- no more leaking fluid or backward azimuth readings. It uses eddy current damping and as such has no overshoot. Consists of a 2" vertical rotating dial which is compared with a fixed miniature airplane (lubber line) to present the magnetic heading of the aircraft at all times. Heading information is more natural because the heading is read at the12 o'clock position and off the nose of the miniature aircraft. The compass card rotates and presents all quadrants in their true relation to line of flight. Requires no power (except for lighting) to operate. Fully TSOd. Installed in many current production aircraft & helicopters. Size: 2-7/8"H x 2-3/8"W x 2-1/8"D. Wt. 0.6 lb. After installing compass must be compensated using standard compensation procedures. Also used in sailplanes. Note: A mount is required for installation with these unit and is not included. Click here to see mounts webpage. |

This is the third vertical compass that I have put in the planes I have owned. I find them to be indispensable. They are easy to read, and are indispensable as a backup.

These work well and are a big improvement over the old fashioned whiskey compass. Much easier to read also, especially in instrument flight, as they turn the same way the aircraft is turning although still subject to the lead-lag errors.

Replaced a leaking whiskey compass that was 47 years old, 75 Cessna 150M. Works great and easier to read.
