Wonderful article, it is still there, thanks for the tip. The URL is:
http://www.avionicswest.com/articles.htm#MAGNETIC%20COMPASS! That might explain exactly what we're seeing! --Michael A. "Max T, CFI" wrote in message news:mjfXb.311421$na.464770@attbi_s04... There used to be an aricle on www.avionicswest.com (perhaps it's still there) that talked about how the vertical compasses they tested were ruined by placing a magnetic object a single time next to the compass. Things as innocent as a Jepps binder (with it's steel spine). Sounds like they're great when they work, but that you have to be very careful with them. Max T, MCFI Victor J. Osborne, Jr. wrote in message ... Get a new flashlight? Mine had a big magnet in the bottom I didn't know about. The flashlight now lives in my garage. Thx, {|;-) Victor J. (Jim) Osborne, Jr. take off my shoes to reply |
