Default primary flight instruments on partial panel

You would use the TC or TB to control bank angle, it is the
instrument that you control, therefore primary. You monitor
the compass to fly a heading which is the desired result.
Using the compass as a control instrument generally requires
a south heading so that the compass turning error is in the
correct direction.
