I've only flown through a few light clouds, and a couple of twilight evenings with pretty good evening light. (had the red cockpit light on) So that wasn't IFR. Then flew out of Atlanta for an hour wearing the hood for training. A little nauseating, but other than that just kept my eye on the...

Hello, Not a Pilot, but always interested in the engineering aspects. This question came up, and I realize that I am not sure of a correct answer. Regarding the compass heading that shows in the glass displays: How is it derived ? GPS ?

Not that I need to fly so it's a moot point, but I wouldn't fly as it is purely on philosphical grounds vs TSA. But that pales in comparison to the ramifications of remotely controlled airliners.
