Compasses?
Oh yes, I remember looking at one once in a glider. About early 1993
when we just had GPS and on that leg the turnpoint was bearing 145
degrees or so from where I was. There wasn't a lot of wind so I I
looked at the compass to see that it also said 145 when the nose was
pointed
That prompts a discussion re the legalities.
I’m vaguely aware, so would like to hear more.

I don't think that's right.

reference to instruments concerns turn and bank
It is under EASA.

Not sure that there are any, it is required to be installed, not
consulted:-)

Understood. But anyone operating a VH registered glider is under CASA rules.

northern hemisphere version (type N) ,

Also, my Form 2 inspector has advised it is a required fitment.

I wonder if there is a really tiny magnetic compass that meets the
requirements? The big lump on top of the instrument panel can be a visual
block for some people.

Nobody would ever think of removing such an obstruction after the

Isn't the main point about having a compass the fact they don't need a
power supply to work?
So if you suddenly lose your batteries for some reason, you can use a map
and compass to find where you are and just as importantly (hopefully) be
able to tell other people where to find you also...?
Compasses are a good piece of equipment in a glider if they are new
and clean. They remind us of our heritage.
Mine is very accurate and easily passes any form 2 or pre-flight
inspection. The casing has been filled with a water-clear casting

So the 2 seater comp overlaps the Narromine Cup? Are you going to combine

Yes it overlaps, the calendar is totally full this year it was impossible to
schedule it without a clash somewhere.
Beryl chose to clash with her own regatta rather than upset anyone else.
