REFLECTOR: Wet compass

[Laurence Coen]

Ron,

In my experience dealing with those that inspect is that the wet compass is the primary and your Dynon is the unnecessary extra compass.  As far as they are concerned a magnetic compass is a device that contains a magnet floating in a fluid.  The FAA really doesn't  say but if you ask them to clarify the rule it will take years and you probably won't like the answer anyway.  That's why I have a wet compass on my glare shield.

I put a Dynon in my panel and though it would cover many of my 
instruments including a compass. But my eaa inspector said 
I need another compass on board. I seem to remember reading some where
that as long as there is a magnetic variance card with this compass  then the  Dynon 
will surfice as a required compass on board. Anyone have any insight on this needed
extra compass ?
