Hi Dan,
this one is fairly small, it feeds a computer for a EFIS system. Grand
Rapids uses them on their system. From what I heard once it's setup your
finished with it. That sure beats the heck out of adjusting for drift every
15 minutes on a heading indicator.

Aha,I was wondering what this thread was about. I guess it is a
matter if definition. The basic definition of a magnetometer as I
understand it is to detect and measure magnetic fields. None of the
magnetometers I have used were small enough, light enough or logically
located in a cockpit. Then again none were connected to a computer.
