And it will get even better the day when we will have a single language!
Thanks for the tip, I will put that on my shopping list.

Man is the internet cool or what, Here I am conversing with a guy in
France.
I remeber back in my young days as a boy growing up on a farm, that the
idea
of communicating with someone in France was either by ham radio or by
being
in the service and getting stationed in Europe.
OK, so some of the simple things in life thrill me. Remember , I said a
boy
growing up on the farm. Did I mention poor boy on the farm.
Ok, to your subject.
Magnetic shielding is a thin metal that I believe has a high amount of
nickel in it. It is somewhere between aluminum foil and really thin sheet
aluminum.
You wrap the insturment in your panel that is causing the magnetic
interference. The shielding must be at least 1.75 inches away from your
compass. The method of finding the interferring source is to hold your
vertical card compass in your hand ( level) turn on your master switch and
radios. Then while holding your compass, pass it near all of the itmes in
your panel and watch and see which one causes the compass to ms behave.
Then
wrap the offending insturment with the shielding material and wire tie it.
Obviously this would be on the back side of the insturment.
This seemed to work fine for me.
You can buy the Magnetic Compass Shield ( MU Metal) can be purchased
directly from Precision Insturments or from Aircraft Spruce. The part
number
is 11-00973
Hope this helps

Thanks for the info. Could you explain what magnetic compass shielding
consists of?

I have the Precision Vertical Card compass. They are out of Chicago IL.
There unit is FAA certified and I beloieve it is standard equipment in
Pipers and several other aircraft.
As far as working with the company that makes them. I have had a great
experience with them. I wanted to mount mine back in the panel. The
problem
was that ther was magnetic interference with it in the panel.
I made several phone calls to them and I believe I worked with a guy named
John. They spent the time to help out me and my several year old compass
and
how to resolve my issue. The fix was installing magnetic compass
shielding
and they even recommended who I could get it from.
I could not give a higher recommendation for a company and their product.

AS a long time ago. It was the cheap one. It took forever to be
delivered
because it was back ordered for a long time. When it arrived, it did not

not
want to spend that much money and am using the old air path.
